Are you shell shocked but that is the reality. A dry coconut used for puja in the house and for chutney costs us Just Rs 20 to 30. After using the nut we just throw away the shell as a useless item. But here Amazon people are selling the natural coconut shell for Rs 1200 to Rs 1300. You can find out the price of coconut shell for yourself. In rural areas, the shells as used for boiling water and for cooking as firewood.
Branding it as natural coconut shell here the Amazon sellers are making money at the rate of Rs 1200 to Rs 1300.
There are people who are ordering and buying it. The shell is being smoothened and is being sold in the name of dry coconut cup so on and so forth. Some say the people who are buying the coconut shell for Rs 1200 must be fools. But the sale is going on. That is the magic of packing, publicity and selling.
@amazon @AmazonHelp Can you check this seller who is selling #Natural Coconut Shell Cup for RS 1365? We buy coconut for 35 RS and in #Kerala we don't pay. How natural can this be than the one that we buy? # https://t.co/vpFCtAfcBM pic.twitter.com/IWuu3p5G8t
