Dear Shell Enthusiasts,

It is with great pleasure and enthusiasm that I announce the successful transition of ownership for Indopacific Seashells. After meticulous efforts and dedication, the reins have officially been passed from Rob West to myself, David Li, residing in Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. I extend my sincere gratitude to all those who patiently awaited responses during this transitional period. Your understanding and support have been invaluable. As we finalize some last details with the current domain, I've chosen to retain the original domain out of respect for the site's rich history spanning over two decades. This decision allows shell enthusiasts to peruse the extensive archive and witness the evolution of this platform. In the interim, I am diligently working on updating the new website with the latest stock. Please feel free to inquire about any shells of interest. Being a fellow collector, I am also open to discussions regarding single shells or collections for sale. Your contributions to the ever-growing world of seashell enthusiasts are welcomed. I encourage you to subscribe to the new website, as monthly newsletters will be disseminated, featuring updates on available goods and posts covering various shell-related topics. Your continued trust in Indopacific Seashells is deeply appreciated, and I am honored to serve as its new custodian. Thank you for your unwavering support.

 

Best regards,

David

I love the tropics!!!

The Indo/Pacific region covers a vast area from the East coasts of Africa and Asia to the West coasts of North and South America. This area encompasses thousands of islands and continental habitats where over 80,000 marine mollusc species live.

I am a worldwide supplier of quality specimen seashells and land shells from this region and I have been collecting, exchanging and selling specimens for 48 years so this site is another facet of the hobby I love.

I collect the main families and a few minor ones also - Cowries, Cones, Murex, Strombs, Angaria, Latiaxis and Spondylus.

Because this website is a one man show, I would ask you to please be patient, this is not a business and therefore I do not have staff to answer emails, research data, fill orders, pack and post, so at times there will be delays when I am trying to juggle my life as well. I do attempt to answer all emails and try to fill all orders but I do apologise for any emails or orders missed, it is not intentional.

If I miss you for any reason please dont take it personally and get annoyed, it is not deliberate and I dont mean to offend, life just gets too busy for me.

PLEASE BE PATIENT!!!

THIS IS NOT A SHOP!!!
