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.

Gene Poultry.
