it is here too perry. anywhere between 9.50 and 12 usa dollars per pound or more, and really, good wax is hard to come by. also like you, i don't sell my wax. as you said, one can really triple the value of wax in candle sales! even though i purchase wax, good wax, i can turn around and sell candles and make up for the cost in less than an hour or two in a day. the only wax i will sell is, when i burn candles, there is a little wax leftover. i save the remnants. i throw it in a zippy. melt it back down, filter it, pour it in the 1 ounce molds and sell the 1 ounce bars for a buck or so for fixing squeaky things, woodworking and sporting goods uses etc............good use for recycled wax!
