Selling a whole catty of Naqu Cordyceps in a hurry: 1.5 kg sample pricing in To Kwa Wan
A customer from To Kwa Wan sent us photos of 1.5 kg of Naqu Cordyceps. Due to emigration, they needed to sell it quickly and preferred to receive the full amount in one go via instant transfer. For such a large quantity, simply giving a "price per catty" is not suitable, as variations in appearance, dryness, and fullness can significantly impact the price. We deemed the photos promising enough for an in-person inspection, so we provided initial guidance and arranged a visit.
The price difference for bulk goods often lies in small details. If you want to check for yourself before the transaction, our Naqu Cordyceps Beginner's Guide lists the key evaluation points, perfect for preparing before the handover.
How to start: Three steps for sampling and evaluation
For bulk goods, we don't price each individual piece; we assess the overall batch through sampling. For this case, we followed three steps:
-
Randomly select 5 to 10 pieces to measure specifications: Count how many pieces make up a catty to determine if they are large, medium-large, or medium cordyceps.
-
Assess the overall dryness and fungal aroma: Take a few pinches to smell and feel, checking for consistency throughout the batch and the absence of off-odors.
-
Count the percentage of full pieces: Determine how many pieces are plump and if there are any broken pieces or impurities. This directly affects whether the entire batch can be priced as a single grade.
From this batch, 11 out of 12 sampled pieces met the medium-large cordyceps specification (approximately 1800 pieces/catty). The entire batch had a consistent fungal aroma, no broken pieces, and no impurities, allowing it to be priced as a single high-grade batch without needing to price each small portion separately.
If you need to sell quickly, the fastest way is to WhatsApp 69035182 with photos and the total weight. We will then provide initial sampling guidance, and once agreed, an in-person inspection and instant transfer can be arranged on the same day.
What affects the valuation: It's not just about weight
What truly impacts the price are several small details considered together, not just the weight:
-
Consistency of specifications: If the entire batch consistently falls within the same specification, it can command a single-grade price. Mixed specifications will require separate pricing for each group.
-
Dryness and preservation: Dry, free from moisture, and without moldy smells will ensure a stable valuation.
-
Origin: Naqu is top-tier, followed by Yushu. Xinjiang and "Asian aphid" are considered inferior and will not be quoted together.
This batch's overall appearance was well-maintained, placing its estimated value at the higher end of our current recovery levels. If you want to sort out other dried goods at home first, you can start by checking the Hong Kong Cordyceps回收價錢 (Cordyceps回收價錢) to differentiate them, then arrange an in-person inspection through our Cordyceps回收系列服務 (Cordyceps回收系列服務).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: You mentioned instant payment. How fast will I receive the money?
A: After both parties confirm the weight, specifications, and unit price, payment can be made on-site via cash or FPS, taking as little as 5 minutes. Large amounts can be transferred in segments for added security.
Q: With such a large quantity, how can I trust the weighing process?
A: We use a 0.01-gram electronic scale for public weighing. You can observe the entire process, and the weight and quantity of each batch will be recorded item by item on the receipt. There are no hidden compartments or tricks to manipulate the weight.
Q: For items stored for a year or more, what are the biggest concerns?
A: The biggest concerns are moisture, moldy smells, and discoloration of the insect body. If preserved well, the fungal aroma will remain, and the valuation will be stable. If it regains moisture, there will be deductions, so we always verify dryness before acceptance.
Q: If a batch contains both large and small pieces, will they be priced separately?
A: Yes. If the specifications are too mixed, we will quote prices based on groups (large, medium-large, small cordyceps) rather than a single average price. Otherwise, the most valuable pieces would be undervalued.
