Its published or you would not know that before you buy.
You probably would know though that people dont work for nothing,and the fees go back into our auction house and profits dispensed according to the board of directors not into someones pocket to pay for a lavish lifestyle.

Glad I sold in the country. Averaged better selling locally on everything, and didnt have to pay commission

You dont know what your average would have been at the auction.

I think Goldy has flipped more beaver than you have in your day Boco and that is including the ones you count in your sleep instead of sheep.

I have never seen his fur,maybe he would have got a lower price at the auction
I know I got 10 more per pelt at FHA than the local buyer was paying here.
My averages dont correllate with the auction avg since there are so many sections included in the large number of pelts the auction house handles
I may not have trapped as many beaver as goldy but I have trapped a few beaver N of 50,just in case you didnt know I was a full time nuisance trapper for over 10 years 50 hours a week,8 months a year.

How do you know what I did with them.I skinned a lot of good ones while sitting in the sidings clearing trains,lol.
I did sell them,as I always got a permit to posess.Some private,some at auction.Sold a couple ton of castor too,some to stickles and lots to the FHA buyer.Had a bunch of rods in the back of the high rail truck under the cap where the castors hung drying.
Now you are making me nostalgic for the old days N of 50,lol.

Thats true. But I've seldom personally averaged much more than the auction average, I averaged $34 for my beaver and $40 for my otter locally, didnt have to pay commission and I'm supporting a great local buyer.

Boco, could you tell us what price you received for your beaver? It's difficult to tell what is what with averages.

Size,grade,when caught and what ever else you can add.

The reason I brought up the fees is because if you buy skins direct from a country buyer like Western Montana fur you pay what ever the price is you agreed to. Nothing extra. Depending on what you do with them you may have them processed in the US and you may be exporting them so there is that cost.There is not all the extra add ones that FHA charges.

Not interested in overall averages but price per beaver or average per size and grade.

Lavish lifestyle?

That's funny, compared to 80 percent of the worlds population, you live a lavish lifestyle.

Bobcats selling now. All medium grade cats selling with strong competitive bidding. Looks like all higher end Bobcats also selling.

"From the looks of the size that Mark Downey has ballooned to

Walleyed, Your unnecessary commentary on Mark Downey is sad and revealing of your character. Reminds me of toxic adolescents JR. High.

I will say fha seems to be listening to shippers maybe. We complain about private treaty after the auctions and this time they stopped that. Lotting letters were posted quicker with some glitches, results were posted every day, I will say good work so far.
