Tropical Fruit Buy, Sell & Trade / Re: PuertoRicoFoodForest Fresh Fruits
« on: December 08, 2021, 12:06:09 PM »Crazy prices. $135 for a Cempedak, $150 for a marang. A pedalai is not worth $75. I ate these fruits for a dollar or less in Borneo and the Philippines.
One could also stay in a 5 star hotel for $45, or eat a huge meal out for $5 in those countries compared to $300 or $100 here in the USA, but you don't go around claiming that now do you? Not comparable.
I understand his complaint, it’s valid, anything more than a few dollars for a fruit seemed crazy to me before.
But if I was selling these fruits for what people wanted and made no money to support myself, no one would help me off the streets either.
I would recommend anyone to go to these areas or grow these fruits out instead of buying them from me unless you’re looking to try a fruit straight to your door you normally wouldn’t get
