One must keep in mind that a garment maker has no commission fees when purchasing from GFW. Groeny can still make money, and the end user can still purchase their goods cheaper than through an auction house.

I've heard NAFA is in financial trouble due to the extremely low ranch mink prices.

Pleuger, how does a company that makes a profit last year get in financial trouble in less than a year?

I can guess who you heard this from. I have heard Nafa is going broke for the last ten years.

You know how many times a year I hear that Groenewald is going down the tubes.

Can’t believe much that goes on in this fur industry.

tbn, I must of missed that thread, I got $20 coon last year so I would have taken that bet. Western Heavies is where it's at and bleached and dyed is hard to tell from coyote. Will know in a couple of days.

They never cost me money I have done fine with them and OTA\FHA,so you need to look in the mirror if you want to see whos not too smart.


To answer your first question. Cost money vs lost money if he could have made a bigger profit then they cost him money.

Probably the reason why US shippers complain more is the same reason we don't have the queen on our money.

Funny stuff on here, lets all trust NAFA, lol. Got to be the best one ive seen on this website since '99.

Sold fur to ALOT of place's through a lot of years, without a doubt NAFA was the sorriest place to deal with and YES
they skint me once and we parted ways. Was interesting and enlightening how certain items they couldn't move for
years I found willing buyer's for every year while those they had sat in storage.

Also didn't know it was any secret Groney buy's up what NAFA can't sell, that's been going on forever!

Maybe the mink rancher's can finance NAFA's high lifestyle a few more years, be terrible if they went belly up.


Not my circus, not my clowns.

So groney buys a coon from Joe blow for $10.00 Then sells It to his buyer for $15.00 I guess that can be called profit or maybe It's the same as a commission that the auction house charges.

But if that buyer bids $15 for that coon at auction, he still has to pay the commission on top of that, thus he is better off buying that same coon from Groeny.

Boy! you missed it there Dave. The difference is, the trapper,[ that could be you by the way] gets 10$ from groeny for THAT coon. The trapper gets 13.65$ from NAFA after commission for THAT coon. Groenys commission is 33%. Don't get me wrong Groneny is a important part of North Americas fur industry. besides that it gives us something to argue about after the seasons over. Instead of which set is better the pocket set or the fish stick set.
