How stable is this supply base?
Three separate questions, answered in order: is the product fresh, is the market busy, and can the sellers be trusted.
Is there much new product?
Whole Star Anise had 4 new listings in the last 30 days, only a handful more than the month before. When comparing offers, the listing date helps a buyer see which one is closer to current market conditions. Check the listing date when evaluating two similar offers.
Is the market busy?
Only 1 of the 40 suppliers joined in the last 12 months, so most sellers are long-standing. Buyers meet familiar names with a proven history of consistent listings, which makes it easier to assess reliability. The small number of new entries limits the variety of fresh options available. Review each supplier's listing history before reaching out.
