Thanks for the kind words guys.

I know there are a few retailers selling them, but they don't seem to be nearly as numerous as the Ebay sources and I haven't seen most of them make the same claims about them. All of the retailers I've seen either have them listed as Ilyanassa or at least show a picture of them. As long as you recognize Ilyanassa from a picture you should be ok. I don't think I've heard of anyone who was expecting a species of true Nassarius and actually ended up with Ilyanassa. Of course that's not to say it doesn't happen. Some people just might not notice the difference, so they don't complain.

I have seen them at the LFS as well, but again if you make yourself familiar enough with this species, it's fairly easy not to be fooled.
