When you guys that sell frozen skinned wolfheads,how much do you ask for them. I usually give them away to people who want to boil them up. But,one person who I have given a couple to wants more and I feel She will hog them all if I dont put a small price on them,I was thinking 35?for the wolf heads and 10 for the cats.

I don't know about wolf skulls, (bet I could get at least $45.00 for un-damaged), but always got $75.00 for wolverine. U.S. dollars.
Just doing what I want now.

$50 is the lower end, normally smaller specimens. Adults with good teeth start at $75. USD if they are going to someone in the Wolf clan...they can afford it. With lynx you have a problem is shipping to the USA and getting permits but if there is data to it; ie museum measurements than they can go as scientific specimensmeasurement such as ;length,tail lenght, hind foot, and ear measurements as well as location are needed to go with each skull

The prices on cleaned stuff is a little nuts. https://www.skullstore.ca/collections/caninesAll kinds of bones here for sale. My first wolf from last year certainly ain’t for sale. My uncle wanted it for his cabin and offered $200. I’m going to clean some up in spring and try selling em.

She is probably selling them. I am sure she remembered you at Christmas with a token of her appreciation correct?

She is a good repeat customer for tanned furskins and articles.I will give her a good price on the wolfheads.

Probably $75-$100 but it does depend on the condition, if it's clean, not broken, Etc.

There's a reason she is a repeat customer. Get some beetles and clean your skulls. I am little surprised since you seem to put a lot of effort in providing a good product and post about getting more money by doing it that you have not looked into marketing your skulls. I give away a lot of stuff to people,But if someone wants more than a couple then that is different.Then it becomes commerce. i dont have time to mess with cleaning up hundreds of skulls.Plenty busy selling fur.

the bugs do the work + you are not cleaning every skull just the ones that are worth it.Do you have a roadside stand to tend to where you sell your fur? You spend enough time on trapperman that you could be peddling skulls and makin more $ Just sell them raw then-there are buyers. What are ya doin with them now?

Most go back to the foodchain.The bugs do the work there. I dont take long to make a post on t-man while doing fur work,lol. I'll sell the wolfheads to Sheila for 40 bucks a pop.Se is a good customer and buys a lot of fur articles. I have no intrest in being a roadside peddler,lol.
