For many buyers an auction is not of any interest. It requires investing more time in a purchase and unless one is an inveterate bargain hunter or absolutely passionate about the purchase, they will purchase a fixed price item before your auction ends. Adding buy it now to an auction only works if the buy it now is a fair retail price. Often the buy it nows on many auctions are the things that dreams are made of.
Those are really attractive shells. Many of us have shells in our basements and attics that we acquired over the years, that were once on display. We no longer bring them back from vacations and certainly would not buy any. You are looking for an uncommon buyer. Time is required to find one.
She's doing well with them, though. People look for them for terrariums, fish tanks, dioramas, displays, etc.
I would run an auction once then switch them to fixed price if they don't sell.
