Wife did some business with the guy in winnipeg. Sent her a catalog. There are some eyepoppers there. A minimum 100% mark up after purchase and tanning. IMO

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

I had leftover beavers as well and the lot numbers don’t match any of the current beaver kits so I’m assuming mine sold before the sale. Maybe yours did too?

I also had some with that grade that apparently didn't sell...

Did they sell even 1 lot of the mighty, gem in the fur shed, opossum...? C'mon man, some of those little beauties couldn't have escaped the gavel once again!

7 lots of possum were sold. Some at 10 cents each. Possum have a 25 cent per pelt handling fee.
Which shoots a really big hole in the statement that pelts are graded as NV and disposed of because those pelts won’t sell for enough to cover the handling fee.
Last time I checked 10 cents is less than 25 cents. SO a 10 cent possum is actually a 35 cent possum!! Yeah, there's probably some logic in there somewhere. I know the next time I put up a Dakota grinner, that product will be heading to ebay to be sold as is. Of course the real money in possums is selling those skulls of a big boar. Some people dig those semi-scimitar canines...

Right about now I believe Catt County Trappers Association Fur Auction at Hinsdale NY is a great place to sell. I think Fur Harvesters could do a lot better job updating their website during the auction and keeping trappers informed. It takes just a few minutes to make a statement and post something on a site this day and age. Transparency and updates go a long way. Maybe they could have someone up there start a post on trapperman.com during auction week. You mean like this? https://furharvesters.com/results/2022/March/march22us.pdf
