Hello Gregory and List,

I heard the same thing about a dealer that will remain nameless who went =
down there and paid a dollar a gram to the farmers who were finding =
them. Since the farmers were only being paid a fraction of this amount =
by lets just say "local people in charge" the farmers refused to sell =
them at the lower rate after this. The local people in charge were =
selling them for a dollar a gram to dealers before the gringo barged in =
there and over paid unknowingly doubling the wholesale price for =
everybody else. Now you cannot get Allende for less than $2.00 a gram =
wholesale and at that price you have to buy several kilos. If anybody =
decides to go down there be careful because of the bad situation left =
behind by an unknowing US dealer.

All the best
