When or how do we see how we did? I’d like to see if I’m buying Natty Light or real beer.

Dang, sold 37 outta 54. Had 5 in the top three lots. Average $50. So that tells me there were some low ones.

Was considering skipping marten in 2019/20. Easy decision now.

Check to see what your individual lots sold for. Your clearances were the similar to mine. My top lots sold well (highest was $155), everything in the middle was bought back, and the very bottom end sold (slight damaged and II and III) in the $24-$30 range. It's that bottom end that brought your average down.

I think when our buy-backs sell our averages will improve a lot.

Buy backs are a joke. Show me one example where private treaty went for more than the opening price.

I have marten carried over from last year with FHA that were graded xxxl 1, and were offered at $ 80.00, or so, then through some convoluted mess, were withdrawn, re-offered with no bid, and now grade xxl 1-2. Nice, huh?

I’m not sure if the marten will go up or down, never referenced that. I have other ways to sell fur and can focus on that giving the marten a break. Beavers/otter/wolves are tourist favorites. Three wolves = 60 marten in terms of $.
