My two cents from FR to UK/US/CA/AUetc... (english speaking peoples are like daemons: they are legion) Who could exhaust all different kinds of interested? Would you guess, when this one speaks about his leopard, his feather, his music, when he highly speaks of them as of the most remarkable & marvellous, that he means to sell his shells? Why not, if he pays through the nose for them? "Soit dit en passant", nota bene that collectors can get a monstruous pleasure with things that cost less than 3 USD, right ? If someone somewhere collects Tellinids, he won't come destitute (or "finish" destitute?)
