How much is ivory worth?

[Delrik]

I'm planning a module and need an accurate value for the PF world. The old 3.0 and 3.5 systems had it around 3gp per pound which sounds pretty low.

Thanks!

Are you in Golarion or a custom setting? Where in the setting? This is important, as the price of ivory will logically depend largely on how common animals you can get it from are in a particular area. If it has to be imported, it'll cost more. Political and economic conditions in the source country and your country will also matter.

The Golarion setting. I'm planning an expedition to a myan/Aztec like jungle part of the world. The PCs would most likely return to the Inner Sea area and sell it.

If they are selling it somewhere where it is imported, such as the Inner Sea, perhaps 5-7 GP/pound would be appropriate.
