Not in the US sadly, fucking hippies and their conservation laws. You don't even kill whales to get the stuff, only a small percentage of sperm whales end up producing it and it's only good after floating in the ocean for years, so it's not like the ambergris trade encourages whaling.

>> No.17155739

OP you are not a faggot today, Congratulations. You have to do 3 things before you can sell this hunk of shit.

1) perform the hot needle test, as other anons have explained in this thread.
2) buy or borrow a scale, and weigh this hunk. Knowing its exact weight will do a lot for estimating its value before step 3.
3) get in contact with an Euro perfume manufacturer, request they send an ambergris expert to verify your sample, and have them make an offer. They will try to low-ball the fuck outta you, so be ready with counter offers.

If you manage to sell it this way, make sure you put 80% of the money into LINK, and use the other 20% to help survive until The Great Pumpening.
