Hello all

A curiosity, how much ask now the Moroccans for
ordinary material? I received email with offers from
Moroccans that want from the $2 to the $16/gr. for
ordinary material. ....begin a few to exaggerate with
the requests, a time if satisfied with $0.10-20/gr.
If you want answer in private...
Regards

Matteo
