Problem is both auction houses are dependent on European fur. Where does that leave the North American fur?

You think Saga is letting FHA sell with them for the fun of it? No, they are getting something out of it.

Maybe doing like NAFA, just having a huge diverse line of fur to attract the most buyers.

Last fall I got a $5.45 cent average from my buddy guy. The rats I sent to NAFA brought me a $3.00+ average. Where would you sell your rats?

Beav's the face of Groeny these days,the pic of him with Guy is priceless to his followers.

Trappers been telling ya that for years, and you wouldn’t budge from Stoughton.

FWIW Beav. I’ve been selling almost everything to Groeny over the last few years. Tired of fur sitting in storage facilities for years and still getting next to nothing for it when finally does sell. You’ve got enough knowledge that you should become our go to country buyer.

What do ya say?

here here.

One time Beav said groany pays one guy big money for his fur,so the guy will go and tell everyone how great the price is.Then they make up what they overpaid the one guy by low balling a bunch of others.
Don't know if that was true or not.

I’m not positive either, And certainly could not provide proof to back it up. So as far as I’m concerned, it’s just here say.

Beav also rides a moped.

Maybe the beav got used by groaney? 5.50for rats in a 3.00 rat market?,HMMMMM.

The Beav "saw the light"

and the light was green.

Anything different at nafa since the change?

Nope. They’ll continue to store your furs for ya. lol

I guess if you're the one guy getting the big money it's not so bad being used?

Being used maybe but the check looks good. LOL
The thing you have to realize Is about 96% of the guys selling fur to groney are selling It GREEN or IN the ROUND. And In most cases are dragging It and kicking It across the parking lot.
I may be getting used but my fur Is of top quality and I think the price I get reflects that.
Sell early to groney because once his orders are filled the price starts to go on the skids.

But I haven't given up on NAFA not by a long shot. I've done well over the years selling my fur through them.

Back when I trapped ND and had 2000+ rats I graded out 300 and took them to groney. The best he could do was a $5.00 average. I walked to the amazement of some of the guys that were there. When the smoke cleared NAFA got me a $7.00 average.

The other thing about groney. It seems he will give you a lot better price on lets say 10 coon then he will on 40 coon.

I don't have many rats but I'm going to shop them around before I ship.

I was just pulling your leg Beav.We got to get the best price we can in todays market.

Got ya.

States should mandate classes to teach people not to do this.

E have classes but some don't listen.

Most of the time It's coon hunters sorry guys but it's the truth.

I’ve done that a few times too Beav. Took a pile of finished coons to Spange, and turned around and loaded back in my truck. Drove straight to Stoughton with them. Twice to my benefit. But once it backfired, big time.
