Ask Steve Phillips, he monitors the possum market closely.

It may take years, when it sells it will show up on your account. I think it was four-maybe five years they had one of mine before it sold.

Mine never showed up on my lotting letter. Just trying to figure out why They got there in plenty of time with the rest of my fur that did show up as graded. Just wondering why the possums weren’t graded. Over half my coons the same way. Just wondering Not worried about them being lost. Just wondering why they were never graded

They didn't lot ours either. With fine possums like we got Otterdog they may be holding them for better times......Hope I'm still alive when that time get here.

Same here. Maybe they knew there was no interest this time around and saved themselves some work. With the exception of nice yotes, "buy back" is mostly the tale of this auction. I've sold less than 20% of the skins I sent them. Just can't wait for the mark downs in July...

I never could flesh a possum without pulling all the fur off of the under side.

I'm just a soul whose intentions are good. O Lord please don't let me be misunderstood.

AS long as you don't pull It over the beam It's no so bad. Just leave one side to cushion the side your fleshing. Never flesh against the beam

Had the same issue with the hair just never thought it would be worth the time most years. Local buyers here won't touch a grinner.

I’ve seen guys do this with all fur Beav.

I put a towel down on my beam and lay the fur on top when I flesh possum.
