So why don't you go sell to groney?Why shouldn't Nafa make a Private treaty sale to whoever? You are still trying to blame someone else for your own mistake.Not nafas fault if you paid too much for the fur you wanted them to re sell for you. If you are still in business why not sell to groney or get another auction house besides NAFA to peddle your goods and see if they can do any better.

Oh trust me I have found honest people to do business with and doing just fine. If your not smart enough to see how Nafa selling to grownwold is a problem I can’t help you, I’ll just say it contradicts everything you say about what Nafa is.

By the way I never said I payed to much for fur or that I lost money, but they sure cost me money, there’s a difference

Explain that- cost you money or lost money?And what do you mean what I say Nafa Is-Your full of it.Right up to your eyeballs.I've dealt with NAFA for near 40 years and they have sold fur for me.I never hear any Canadian shippers complain about NAFA,always Americans.Whats with that?Because its a Canadian Auction house? 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.

The coon sold where less then a year old, and your telling me grownwold can get better money then Nafa can. Kind of shows how important they are in the industry. Says volumes what Nafa thinks of their customers. Yea, really think about it. Why wouldn't NAFA sell where Grony sells to instead of to Grony?

selling fur is like buying a new pickup. after a month or two I always feel like I should have done a little better

I have no dog in this fight but if I sent my $10 coon to NAFA and they sold them to GFW for $10 less 11% commission I would be bummed. Why WOULDN'T I sell them to GFW for $10?
I have nothing clever to put here.

But if they had sold them for $14 or $15 you would be happy and GFW would be sad. Everytime we make a sell or decision, we are betting we know the answer.

If your not smart enough to see how Nafa selling to grownwold is a problem I can’t help you, I’ll just say it contradicts everything you say about what Nafa is. That hurts trappers in the future. If groeny can get them cheaper from Nafa, why would they need to buy them from trappers? Doesn't clear the coon pipeline either. The reason you have auctions is competitive bidding should get you the highest prices. Obviously neither Canadian Consigner can get much bidding these days. If they can't get bidding, no point in sending them fur. IMHO

Trap-Alaska grownwold isn’t buying fur at an auction unless they are already resold. So why couldn’t Nafa get the extra dollars for the trapper?

If the price of gas keeps going up you will have to row. LOL
I have yet to see any $15.00 averages On put up coon so you might have to rethink that coon line.

I think I should say that i'm not in the least complaining about the prices I got at the window... I know what I had and I thought groenwold did me fair. I did better than some not as good as others, but I thought I got treated fairly. in the end that's all you can hope for...

I know what you are saying, but $10 (total cost) coon from NAFA is not the same as $10 coon from you. A $10(total cost) coon from NAFA is sorted, bailed, and ready to ship.

I have yet to see any $15.00 averages On put up coon so you might have to rethink that coon line. I have oars. And I don't burn up all that much gas on the river. The question will be at what size does Groeney begin buying? 3XL on up is tough overall.
