| Cypraea Cribraria: SUPER CHOICE GOLD-TONED SPECIMEN |
Cypraea Cribraria #2) Linnaeus 1758, 28.3mm SUPER CHOICE GOLD-TONED SPECIMEN. Found Bohol, Philippines, by a very lucky diver in 10-20 meters of water. If there is any shell I have always wanted to find, but never did, this is it. I only found beached ones on Kwajalein, and it was frustrating to realize that they were in the shallow waters just off shore. Problem was, the water was muddy, and the waters around Kwaj are just filled with ...sharks. So, me being the timid one, I never did get to do what Scott Johnson did, find a live one... But now you can own one of your own, and though it isn't quite as much fun as finding one yourself, this baby, as the photos show, is a fabulous gold-toned beauty that will look wonderful on your shelf!
Combined shipping. If you buy more than one item from us you will save on the shipping. There are two ways you can request combined shipping. The easiest is to just click the button on the top right of your order that says, "REQUEST TOTAL." Of course, if you are wondering WHY you don't see that button, let me give you a little tip---that button is available only on the "desktop" version of eBay! If there is no button to push, it means you are doing what 99% of the people shopping on eBay are doing, you're using your cell phone. Why eBay thinks no one uses their phone to shop with is a mystery that has no answer, but maybe we can change that. If you get a chance, leave feedback with eBay requesting that they put that button BACK on their mobile app. That's right, back. It used to be there, but for some reason eBay recently removed it, (probably removed by some old guy at eBay who wishes he was shell collecting in the Philippines, huh.) Anyhow, to request combined shipping, open up the desktop version of eBay on your laptop, and voila, there it is!Second way to get combined shipping is for you to pay the total, and when we receive your order we will, in a flash, issue a refund for any excess shipping charges. I've used both methods myself while shopping on eBay, and so far everyone I've bought from has been great! But then that makes perfect sense if you think about it. After all, they want me to come back! And I want you to come back too, so I WON'T be overcharging you for shipping...
As for normal disclaimers and such... I have tried my best to make sure the photos are accurate color-wise, but as everyone knows, color is a... well, it's tough. Between my phone changing the color due to the color of the shell, the background, the lighting AND it changing when I post it on eBay, and then knowing that your phone or laptop is going to do weird things to it color-wise too, well, let's just say, I tried my best, and I hope you will think so too when you hold your new beauty in your hands for the first time.Second, like everyone else selling on eBay, I live and die by the feedback you leave, (please leave me fives!) so, with that in mind, please remember that I am anxiously sitting by my phone in case someone needs me to help them with something. Being retired, I have more time on my hands than the gorgeous one thinks I should, and your messages go immediately to my phone, so if you have a problem AND at the same time you want to save me from having to attend music appreciation classes, let me know and I will happily get back to you pronto...Retired... oh how I miss the days when I could go to work and do nothing all day long!Anyhow, if you have read this far, you have my apologies and a heartfelt wish from those of us at Island Shells of happy collecting. Enjoy your new treasures and remember, home is where your collection is!
