Yes. The Buy .Backs are usually at the end of the catalog for each species/section.

FF if you think the other auction house will even marginally better at getting your info out your mistaken.

FHA is/was behind the times but just like NAFA they are busy right til the end. Before you get your panties bunched anymore(using your language) wait and see if NAFA has their catalogs out ten days ahead of sale. It's thirteen days out right now til their next one kicks off. I'm not sticking up for FHA so to speak just sharing my experiences with both organizations.

You could call and complain but it won't do a lick of good. What you should be doing is researching which organization you think will better market your product and put more dollars in your pocket

Pay attention! His goal ain't money, it is entertainment. NAFA is more entertaining.

Sorry if I stirred things up too much. My apologies to you WissMiss and Lee. I was just wanting to know when to expect the grades and felt that each of you were mocking me and I retaliated. I'm still learning about grading and attempting to grade my own fur and compare it to what the pro's come up with so the grades mean a little more to me than your average trapper. I'm not a rookie but I wouldn't say I'm a seasoned veteran either. Every year I get better at setting traps and putting up fur. If you saw the first cat I put up on a wire stretcher you would have cringed but last year I sold a $1750 cat. It's all a learning process and I'm just trying to learn as much as I can in all aspects of trapping.

They should be up 19 May at 0948 EST. I could be wrong, I don't have an account with them. But you never know I might be right. Don't get the drizzles worrying about it.

I hate these threads. I know it is my choice opening them but once open I can't un-see.

Appearance is that suppliers are more trouble than value. Throw in return on time invested and ?

What is everyone opinion on fha an nafa comparison on prices? Seems to me that nafa higher? Never ship to fha, so I don't know, just going off the reports, if I ship to fha, my results may be different than I thought , I start with nafa. Fha is smaller company, just never went though them , I think nafa is really hard to beat.on coin an mink prices

If you avg out over a few seasons it comes out pretty equal.
Fha does better most times on certain species and Nafa does better most times on other species.But that too can change from one sale to the next.
I don't know about coon but right now you'll do better on mink at NAFA.

Actually I could see where it would be fun to watch if there was any bidding going on; especially high dollar cats. I tried to watch the marten give away at Helsinki last year and no bidding, instantaneous 10% drop from opening price and lack luster participation. That was enough watching for me. I really can't see where there would be any excitement unless buyers were bidding prices sky high.
