I wonder if any of my 3 season holdovers sold and I can collect a $5.01 check. Hope springs enteral P.S. On other Canadian fur auction house news, as anyone gotten paid anything during NAFA's bankruptcy proceedings? I'm not holding my breath nor have a lot outstanding but they did sell my fur, used the proceeds to keep their company going for a bit longer, and bounced a check on me. I had a landlord in college that went to the pen for selling something he didn't own but he had a lot less connections than NAFA's top guys. I wonder how many Canadian politicians palms the NAFA brass greased over the years? I'm sure a few...

Looks like walleyed finally sold 68 lesser muskrat for a $2.59 average before FHA fees & commission. Most of our better muskrat remain unsold. Some of those rats have been molding up there in North Bay for nearly 3 years. Underwhelming, & definitely not worth the wait. Should have sold to Groeny !!! w I hope FHA has a good sprinkler system in case your greasy old rats spontaneously combust like a pile of old oily rags,lol.

How'd the marten do? Prices? Don't quit your day job. Between 60 and 70 for Ak commission taken out.

Hope the lynx do as well.

What cost is added on top for buyers to move the goods they bought to where they live ? Buyers premium, packing, duty, shipping what else? What do you think the average percentage per pelt cost is ?
Ever been to a Restaurant and never seen a price opposite to the Menu. now you know Wissmiss has explained these fees before, and it is not cheap and she has to get up early for the Zoo sale tomorrow

What would be the reason 451 beavers did not sell? Limits put on those lots by the dealer (s) that own those pelts.

FHA is upfront with their fees.The buyers know it before they buy and the sellers know before they sell. Their menu is called the conditions of sale. The carpetbaggers on the other hand do not disclose their "fees".Shady to say the least.

Everyone in this for enough years should know how fur for your section on every different species graded in general from the auction house and make decisions accordingly. Only took me a couple seasons after moving here to know what species are worth sending north vrs marketing privately or sending elsewhere. You can always get burned and disappointed but going in, everyone should have some idea of where to market your particular critters of each species if you’ve dealt with NAFA before belly up or FHA. So far, overall it looks to be a positive auction imo.
