So are MOST buyers making more profit, or was NAFA artificially inflating the fur prices through their business practices?

Either way, as a seller, if you don't like the offered price, find another buyer.

2 more days and they will be in Prince Albert and Clavet Saskatchewan( 10 mile from Saskatoon) and we will see what the real prices for western heavy coyotes go for;
Then the Brandon Mb. gun show on the 18 Dec as long as someone post from there.

It's a good time to be a furbuyer.

Jump right in. LMAO

Must be. Groeny is expanding. I'm not.

i worked in the busines for 40 yrs learning everything i could so someday i'd be the buyer.someday definetely aint now for me either.

i need to reopen my fur put up business as them prices don't change.that someday aint now either though.

Folks, none of this matters. In southern Indiana, our fur is marginal at best. I pay a guy $3 to skin and flesh my coon and $10 to skin and flesh my coyotes. I just want something to sell. You guys with all the good thick fur, are you coming out? I'm trapping because I like it. "Groeny, NAFA, it don't matter. Maybe your losing less than me so you feel like your winning. Fur is done because it's done in the U.S. China, Germany, Russia; don't hold your breath.

It blows my mind to why anyone would drive around the country side buying furs... paying non res fur dealer licenses, employee cost/ benefits, insurance, gas, lodging, wear on trucks, dealing w/ poor weather conditions buying near worthless fur that needs cleaning, skinning, exposed to who knows diseases etc etc... for a piddly few pelts from disgruntled sellers... It must be a passion and bank on the future cuz I can't see hardly a margin only risk...

It is not Groney bashing or NAFA bashing to have opinions and pontificate on what factors are possibly driving the current fur market.

One slip of a knife get an infection that one Dr. visit wipes out the whole routes profit if there was one to start?

i'm out trapping just to prove i wasn't lying when i said i'd trap whether i made money or not.

I think I'll mortgage the house and start buying. Now is the time!

How bad can being homeless really be?

Its a dandy life in Portland. The city will clean your poop up for you and give you all the free needles and usage kits you could ever need. You will never get charged with any crimes you commit because you are in need of help and will likely fair well in the temperate climate.

I know of two not homeless furbuyers in Indiana. One, once was on here bragging how much money he made off trappers.

Let's just blame them for being nefarious and taking advantage instead of thinking they may have more overhead than the local buyer and can't pay as much as the local.

I hope you guys read Greg Schroeder's posts about FHA's practices regarding low value no sale furs.

I was personally very pleased with the offer Guy made on my coyotes. Much better prices than I've ever been offered by a Kansas furbuyer. I'm glad there are now options like Groenewold, and Lincoln Fur in my area.

If I was a banker, I couldn't loan money for fur speculation. All the really big money comes from lenders. That's what happens even if your company is 350 years old. You would have to convince me you could double your money quickly. If you hold fur fine, but your paying interest. Even if you are setting flush with cash I believe I'd put it somewhere else. This is a depression.
