I'm still waiting for a check from FHA's last sale.
Made it almost 3 years without censor!

Dropped some fur off yesterday for the FHA May sale-it is a week before NAFA's.
Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Must be financing it with trapper's proceeds from the last sale.

Why was NAFA’s receiving date so early if there sale is after the fur harvesters sale in May? Competition

Why was NAFA’s receiving date so early if there sale is after the fur harvesters sale in May? NAFA has more fur to grade than FHA. Takes them longer to get ready for a sale. Maybe. By having an early receiving date, it encourages trappers and dealers to get their fur to NAFA in plenty of time before the sale. You have a later receiving date and the fur isn't ready when inspection starts. I've been in Toronto several times for a sale and the wild fur samples aren't ready. The graders are working in one part of the building while buyers are inspecting in another part. Not the way it is supposed to work. Additionally, NAFA is fairly liberal when it comes to last receiving date for their biggest sale of the year. Even if your Goods arrive a week or two after last receiving date, there is a strong possibility they will still be on this sale. NAFA has already announced they won't be offering fresh wild fur at their August sale (if they have a sale at all). So they want to push as much fur on the May/June sale as possible. Last thing they want is fur sitting around over the summer that isn't available for sale.

$68 average for marten after commission and cleaning etc. Almost felt like not trapping next year from rumors of worse prices. It's not the 100 average but probably trap next year You better trap next year!!!!!

So, private treaty is a thing of the past? Good grief. Wish Groeney had a northern route.
