I read on the Canadian forum that the top lot for Marten was 170.

If memory serves that's about what it was at the last NAFA sale was, while FHA was $210.00

Sounds like marten prices softened considerably. Rumor I heard was $100 average or there about. I do know they ended up selling quite a few of the marten for considerably below what they had them "valued" at.

Oh, I meant to say. I beleive FHA top lot in March was like $380 or something crazy like that. I'm sure it was over $210.

I knew it would. I saved mine all winter and sent them to this sale. I have always had an uncanny knack of buying high and selling low!

Anyone know when we should expect to see the marten lotting letters up for the NAFA sale?

I only had a few and I was forced to do some significant sewing this year so I'm curious to see how they grade.

Looks like I should have sent them into the earlier sale, bummer.

If you don't have a lot of juvenile females it appears the average for Alaska marten should still be a C-note.

It might turn out ok--Here is a quote regarding FHA's sale over the weekend I pulled from the main page and posted by Gibb who used to work for FHA:


""Good post Don, I for one do not understand how every auction has gone up since their March sale and than the prices drop, followed right away by American Legend prices up again, Saga sale was up, Sojuzpushnina sable sale was up?""
