That sounds way too cheap, but I suppose where you live it may be less. Here we pay around $13 to $14 per qt. Since you do know Maple Syrup (sorry had to be a stickler and ask...many people do not really know as they have been brainwashed into thinking corn syrup and flavoring is Maple Syrup) then I think that it sounds like the guy messed up. Like Glibbidy suggests, maybe he tapped a Pine

8.00 per quart would be a steal. Here in VT the quart vessels run 12.00-16.00 depending on the grade. I'm teribly sorry to hear that you got some crappy tasting syrup.
