Guest guest Posted September 9, 2006 Report Share Posted September 9, 2006 Dear Members, I was wondering about prices of Lakshmi Shank. I got a rare small 40 gram "Jati" Type Lakshmi Shank and it cost Rs. 3,000 per gram (delivered in Bangkok). A similar shank is available for over Rs. 11,000 per gram. I don't quite understand the price difference, unless someone, or too many people are taking profit. Last I heard John Ravi was increasing his price to a huge Rs. 9,600 per gram. In the beginning of this forum we were told that Rs. 1,000 per gram was the right price. So, why the BIG increase? Any ideas welcome???
