Sold to them for 7 years now haven't sold yet this year i sell all green fur so my averages will be around 3 bucks less than put up hides and that is right where the average prices from nafa and fha have been for those 7 years Previously for about 30 years I shipped to nafa or fha so I have an idea how my fur grade trends For the fur from my area gfws prices are right with anyone else ill agree they don't want mink and skunks neither does anyone else instead of leaving fur there that you feel their screwing you on take them back and sell elsewhere

Sold to them over the years Illinois had a father/son team that played games years ago looks like Illinois buyers are still a problem from the guys in Illinois posts, SD buyers have been great and sending it the same fur sold.well also.

I would like to hear Plueger's opinion.
I got myself a seniors' GPS. Not only does it tell me how to get to my destination, it tells me why I wanted to go there.

Groney: Watcha got ? Trapper: Ten coon. Groney: Throw em up here. Trapper: OK. Groney: 4 at $20 4at $3 2 at $1 Trapper: I'll sell the 4 at $20 and take the others back sir. Groney: NO,NO,NO - I buy em all or none !!!! Trapper: ??? you priced the 4 at $20 why wont you buy those 4 and let me take back the others ? Groney: I BUY THEM ALL OR NONE !!! Trapper: So really all 10 coon are about the same and just selling the 4 at $20 is cutting your average right ? Groney: Yeah- something like that -NEXT !!! There was just someone on here who claimed they got a similar offer to your hypothetical here, and he guy in the truck offered a little more for one of the lesser dollar coon. However I dont recall definitively that the trapper was able to sell the higher dollar coon and take back the lower dollar furs.

Yep, that was me. He said I had 4 hides at 5 dollars. Said I'd take those back. He offered me 8 for the biggest of the 4 and I took the other 3 back. Sold him 5 of my 8 coon and 1 muskrat for 66.75.
It was the owner himself in the truck.

He wont be throwing any fur into his truck until he owns it if he buys around here.Lots of us dealt with fur buyers back in the day.It stays on the table until the deal is done.

Fur goes through a 2 foot x 2 foot windoe that is about shoulder height. Cannot see the counter atleast at 5'10" i cant see the counter.

That's pure BS if he deals like that.I definitely wouldn't sell under those circumstances.I can see some big Indian choking him out if he starts throwing his fur in the truck before he owns it.LOL. Even the HBC/NWC buyers didn't deal like that.

Seems like this is beat to death every season . The bottom line is you should know about what your fur is worth and how much less than that you will take. Who cares how the buyer wants to pile stuff as long as the end figure meets what you had in mind. If it is not the ask for more or take your fur and move on. Are we trappers or little girls? Grow some hair guys.......
Wish I had more time to trap....

Anybody who has been in this business is bound to have a lot of people who are envious of his success. We all know more than a few who have come and gone. For a business to succeed they have to be both profitable and fair or the only choice. Never sold to Groeny which means he's never been the only choice.
