sold mine for 950 a lb last week now hes up to 960 but i also talked to a guy in nc. a dealer in nc. and va. hes paying a 1000 to 1050 for good seng hold on to it diggers til about few week or 2 before christmas thats when you will see the buyers pay good for it they all say they quit buying at a certain date scare tatic every year they want our ginseng as bad as we wont to sell it because what ever they pay us you can bet they will prob double their money thats how it works and im not downing no one its all about the dollar when it comes down to the end. yes its a hobby for me but i want a decent pay for it ive done sold because of wht i thought was a descent price for mine at 950 and got ripped off buy old scales the buyer was using. i know for a fact ive sold to him for a few years, he wont get no more of mine but thats my opinion
