The pandemic has been a perfect opportunity to catch up on
cataloguing. But in doing so, I have run into a few questions
regarding pricing, and the recent reclassification of molluscan
families, to wit:
WoRMS places Polymita in the family Cepolidae. Others put the
genus in
Helminthoglyptidae. What's a guy to do??
Also, how does one assign a price value to a genus like
Ploymita, which is now restricted in trade? I have a set of 30+
polymitas, collected from the early 60's to the early 2000's.
Some have accurate locale ID and collecting dates, some do not.
Are they priceless or valueless? This is just one example of a
specie in this situation. What factors go into pricing species
that are now restricted in trade?
Thanks in advance for your thoughts & advice
John
