What is the current sap price/buying sap

[Sullydog]

Hello all I am wondering what people are paying for sap. I want to try and buy some this year but as I am new to this I'm not sure how others conducts this side of the business. I have a family member who wants to put out buckets and sell me the sap. Any info would be appreciated. Thanks Jack

Well usually as a buyer you want to buy as low as you can, and as a seller sell as high as you can. Seeing its family I would not recommend that. Rates vary by region so this may be better answered on a local forum. Here we pay .15 per point per gallon. Yet my aunt lets me tap 200 trees for 4 qts of syrup. I wish I could talk her into collecting it all, I would gladly pay her the going rate if she did all the work for me;)
