TOPIC: Slight increse in Ohio prices

Hi Everyone,

I am now paying $440 - $450 for nice lots of Ohio ginseng.

However, the market still is a little uncertain and it is hard to predict what will happen next.

There has been no change in the markets for the other herbs.

not sure where your located but newton ridge gun in malta ohio told me 530lb this week

Until I know something different, I'm still paying an average of $450 with a premium for nicer root. I know some guys are running the price up, but there isn't enough movement yet in the market to justify doing so. And, when I tell you $450 for average original digger lots, that's what I'm paying. I\"m not quoting a high price to get you here and then only willing to pay $440 or $450.

Today, I paied $460 for one lot of nicely handled stuff.

If the man at Newton Ridge Gun(Ricky Cambell) gave you a quote at $530 , then that is what he is paying. There is no fluff from him. A good honest buyer.

sorry castle wasnt tryin to call you out or anything i was just lettin everybody know what i heard he treated me right last year figured i would put his name out in return

No problems here ruter! I was just letting ya know that if ya had not dealt with Ricky Cambell before that he is a honest guy who pays ya what he quotes. Super guy in my opinion.

(Ricky Cambell) gave a quote at $530 going up

Guys, I've never met Mr. Cambell, so I was not at all suggesting he was anything other than a stand up guy. However, I know there are places in Ohio you can go where $2 becomes $1.45 by the time they are ready to write the check. I took no slight in the post. I guess sometimes I still think more like a digger than a dealer and say things that can be taken wrong. I am sorry if this was the case here.

As far as those prices, I will not be paying that much for the forseeable future. Unless something happens to cause it to change, everything is tightening up like cement and nothing (yes NOTHING) is moving. Maybe a few hundred pounds here or there, but not enough to support the ginseng market and certainly not enough to justify raising prices.

I really wish the news was more pleasant guys, but it isn't. I am going to continue to pay $450 for nice stuff for the time being and hoping that something will break loose.

Rick Campbell: Good buyer,fair price,doesn't pick you death. Sold to him lots of years.
