In Munich - and I have confirm - for the Amgala the moroccan person ask
$1500 and this is $1.5/gr.....no problems, I see the same person in Bologna
in March and I ask how much he want, for sure I not buy why give all this
money for a normaly moroccan fall its exaggerated

>But right now my $2.95 a gram price is very low for
