Clean and dry I can do about $4.50-$4.75 / pound.  There is a lot of it out there right now, but I don't think that supply is going to last more than about six months.

EDIT   ...price is now $4/pound

I am currently paying $350/dry pound for wild Ohio ginseng.  The price fluctuates some, and is different in different areas according to section and quality.
