What does crab actually cost at the Kep crab market today? There is no fixed price: crab is sold by bargaining, sellers often open high, and visitors are routinely charged more than people who buy here often. This board is the neighbours' own running figure — people who bought at the market share what they paid, and you see the typical (median) price of recent reports.
Anyone can read it. To add a price you sign in with a free account, so the numbers stay honest. The board starts empty and fills as people report; one or two reports are not a price, so the typical figure only shows once a few have come in.

How this works
These are prices people say they paid at the Kep crab market — not official prices, not a list of which stall to use, and not advice on what is fair or where to buy. Crab has no fixed price here: it is sold by bargaining, the catch changes with the season, and a bigger crab costs more. Prices are in US dollars, the way the market quotes them. One report is not a price, so the board waits for a few before it shows a typical figure.
