How much does beeswax sell for?

[SouthAussieBeekeeper]

I've had a number of people ask to buy beeswax off me. I'm not sure how much it's worth, I see it being sold for as low as $20 a kilo and as high as $65 a kilo.

What sort of price range should I be selling it at if I'm selling small quantities directly to a consumer?

I looked up prices and found 6-12 bucks a pound American.

I notice that the price quoted in the " Beekeepers News" ( By Capilano )is $ 9 for Dirty wax and $ 15.80 for Light wax.

I sell clean wax from my cappings for $ 40/kg. We use no chemicals in our hives or during processing. People use it for cosmetics and wraps.Slightly dirty wax goes for less.

It takes about 8 kg of honey to make 1 kg of wax ( so we are told) - value it!

How does one measure the difference between light and dirty?

Evenin'...an' Welcome.
The hot goss is there is an acute shortage given the demand so...
"what the market will bear" is likely the measure.
