#4 To give some kind of estimate for UK ( Although its shipped further than USA )

Street value in the UK is approx Â£60 a gram

Which would equate to Â£9.6 million , BUT (a guess) it would cost importers Â£0.20 and then get 'distributed' where everyone takes their cut and waters down the 'quality'
In the US its different/cheaper ( I expect ) .

#5 In bulk, 20-30K per kilo.

#6 well, my sis works for Johnny Law and she sez the price's gone up lately - pure is $40-50K/Kilo. For a while Meth was putting the crimp on Coke use and pricing, but Law's been smashing the big meth labs (smell gives em away - from miles away), so Mexican stuff is the big thing here in SD. Used to be bikers, tweakers, independents

#9 It looks like the Euro is more expensive than I thought. How much is that in gold dust?

#10 We need to hear from a Spemble, they're noted for their understanding of the metric system.

#12 Hmm ... right about the price range where it gets cheaper to synthesize it. Time to watch Northern California chemists.
