Wild Cordyceps Batch Buyback
A client from Tuen Mun, who personally went to Tibet a few years ago to select and purchase a batch of wild cordyceps, stored them for two years in separate batches. Now, he wants to sell them but doesn't want to bring out the entire box just to see if a deal can be made. If it seems viable, we then arrange a physical inspection.
To facilitate an immediate transaction, clearly state the weight and condition beforehand, which will make the physical inspection much quicker.
Best to add one more step when sending photos: A common issue with boxed wild cordyceps is that the box is nice but the cordyceps inside are inconsistent. It's best to include a close-up photo of the cordyceps spread out; the number of pieces, dryness, and proportion of broken pieces should be discussed separately.
Documenting the wild cordyceps box before review
The clearer the photos, the closer the remote estimate will be to the actual item.
- One full box shot: To show the entire quantity and arrangement, for estimating weight in grams and number of pieces.
- Close-up of the cordyceps body: To clearly show the fullness of the body, legs, and rings, allowing us to distinguish origin and authenticity.
- Cross-section and head: To see if there's a chrysanthemum pattern in the cross-section and the length of the stroma, which indicates whether it's an early or late harvest.
Several details that affect the quotation of wild cordyceps
What we look at primarily includes the fullness rate (whether each piece is plump or hollow), the proportion of broken pieces (how many broken pieces there are), color consistency, and degree of dryness. Overall, the documented condition supported stronger buyer interest. Poor fullness and numerous breaks would instead be recorded as condition weaknesses.
