Taking into account the current price of this product on the world market, $4.10 is absolutely unacceptable. It appears Harry and his folks at LPRC have no understanding of what's happening on the world market. They are just making up prices as they go, what a freaking shame...

$3.10 would be a reasonable amt, taking into acct the price on the world mkt has be going down over the past five weeks or so.....

About 15 months ago when this product was going at approx 85 on te world mkt, the price of fuel in Liberia was approx $3.25. Now that it's $70.00, one would expect a price adjustment to $3.10 or so....

It appears we have our own Liberian economy model of coming out of prices of products on the Liberian market.

Liberia is re-selling Berry. We are not going straight to OPEC. When you dont have the capital to buy the quantities, you then buy as a reseller. Buying as a reseller, makes your profit margin decrease. To cover your overhead requires that the bottom line be increased.

For example, read this:

How Crude Oil Prices Affects You: Crude oil prices most directly affect you in higher gasoline prices and higher home heating oil prices (primarily for those of you who live in the Northeast U.S.) Crude oil accounts for 55% of the price of gasoline, while distribution and taxes influence the remaining 45%.

Reselling from who - What are you talking about my brother? Liberia buys this product from Nigeria at a price lower that the world market, so what are you talking about? The discount should trigger down to the masses.
