    Just finalising an import of shrimp into the UK and got my new price lists for them... low and behold two shrimp on the pricelist I havent seen before.
    White Body Red Wine Taiwan Bee with Red Legs and a pair of Strawberry Pintos A+

    Price in rands with current exchange rate (retail)
    1x White Body Red Wine = R7779
    Pair of Strawberry Pintos = R17000+-

    How hectic is that???

    Yeah I would make a profit and I would find buyers but it's just too big a risk
