ripped off lobster price

[jacksmuff]

so i get about 3.50 a lb delivered while my buyers turn around and sell them for 11.99 a lb. should i bitch about the price or bite my tonuge untill selling price goes up im feeling ripped. less then a year ago i was selling for 8.50 lb.

for sure is its my living

sell enough direct to the public somehow and put their asses out of business. i get it though. it would piss me off. not sure i'd fuck up an income stream just to bitch but i would be looking around at options

 

[jacksmuff]

i have 15 diffrent sellers but they all pay about the same give or take 50 cents some days its just seems like a waste for fuel plus boat upkeep plus 2 deckhands its getting hard

No. Buy and hold lobsters. There is resistance at $12.50 but once the market blows through it it could go all the way to $14.

I am bullish on lobsters.
