Dear folks, I'm new at the Coch-L mailing. Hi people! I've been collecting for 20 years now accross the globe, thanks to the many travels I undertook for the company I worked for. I have mainly a marine worldwide collection, with no specific specialisation. I always collected myself or with afriend or with my wife, never bought a single shell. I noticed that my collection isn't enlarging that much any more, because all of the rarer stuff or from areas I never visited, I couldn't obtain. I'd like to know from experienced collectors who are good and reliant dealers with a wide range to offer (been surfing around, found a big deal, can't choose). Maybe you all can help me out? Noticed also that there are on some occasions online auctions, what is your oppinion about this? Are the shells/prices any good, which are there? I have time enough now to surf around because I'm retired since a while. Hope to receive some usefull tips.
