There are farmers who get $3k, but that is the exception and not the rule. I think there is a choice to make, do you sell low now, or sit and wait for a better price? Keep in mind that everyone and their mother grow, or maybe mom has a caregiver. The market is saturated, and most people are okay with mids, fewer users are looking for the best of the best, hence your change in demand.

I assume you are asking about legal sales and transfers and not anything illegal.
