No offense Jim but I'll never ship another pound of castor again and I'll educate anyone that will listen to that fact.

None taken Steve, the point i am trying to make is that there is a reason it is sold and handled by the auction companies the way it is. Selling privately is an option for some but not available to everyone. The auction houses have a different customer base
There is a difference between selling a few hundred pounds to a lure maker or selling tons into the trade. I at times use all three methods depending on the time of year.
The auction houses for the most part sell into the trade not so much to small end users.
There is only so much that local state auctions and lure makers can use.
An experienced trapper will develop the best method for themselves. I honestly can't say I have been disappointed using any method but I have been known to store castor in my freezer till I find the right deal.
Without the two auction houses setting the base prices I know for a fact the private buyers would not pay as much.
Having options is good for trappers.

Did you make your money selling some of your finished critter products or stopping by Harrah's...?

On the NAFA wild fur auction results page, it list the total number sold and then the prices for each section. But, they don't break it down to how many were brought in for each section. Is there a way to find that out ?

That' s what I should have said. They show the total amount offered, and the % sold for each section. But they don't say how many were offered in each section. Is there a way to find that out ?
