OK, once for the record : I am not a shell dealer, I do not sell specimens,
I was not offering shells for sale when I said you can get C. milneedwardsi
for $20, just stating a fact.
Conus kawamurai, incidentally, is actually a separate species (they do not
intergrade), known live from only one location and so far from a single
specimen. All the others are sand-pumped or shallow-dredged dead shells as
far as I know (including the holotype, whose operculum mysteriously
appeared after it reached a museum, only to disappear again).
