Very dissapointed selling to groenwald. 11 yotes all good none rubbed.(granted not all top end but a few real good ones. Two blondes I know would be cheap) All coon were large boars. Everything sold green. I will make sure I never sell to that buyer again. I believe his name was hunter. Never seen so many guys take back fur out of the truck. Should have pulled everything back out of the truck. He said his top yotes are $40 and top coons are $10. All prime December Wisconsin fur

Grony was paying $15 for big bores a month ago. Myself and another trapper sold to them Thursday. I was satisfied with my coyotes, but we were both not happy with the coon prices. $10 tops, even for big boars, when questioned the buyer said wrong color. They also comment one sow bellies not being well furred. When is the belly fur used??? Never? I had 2 badgers, frozen whole. One was small and grayish, the other big, white belly and white tipped guard hairs. $4 and $8, said they don't have an outlet for badger. But advertise they buy them. I should have taken the big one back and had it tanned.

If you have been paying attention to the Facebook live posts they do that buyer is about $10-15 low on yotes and $5 lower on coon then the other buyers have been in the past month.

Trevor Barnes. Look him up. He travels to buy and if he comes close to go he will pay more than GFW for sure. He does all his own buying when he travels. I also agree that selling green is not the best option. Easier to refuse a buyer's offer when you can take dried finished fur home and store it easier than green.
Wish I had more time to trap....

I get that you didn't get what you expected. I don't get the buyer being at fault. You either accept the offer or not. That's the way it works.

If you have been paying attention to the Facebook live posts they do that buyer is about $10-15 low on yotes and $5 lower on coon then the other buyers have been in the past month. Some of the reports say that GFW has been paying $100 or better on some coyotes too but there is no way you can compare that to what you got. You were offered less than you expected yet you sold them for the offered prices anyway. A trip to the mirror might be in order.

My buddy sold to groney last night. Got a $4.40 average on rats and a top of $5.50 but when he went back to his truck he noticed that was for 35 rats not the 45 he offered. Went back and raised some cane but the buyer offered him another $25.00 for the 10 missing rats and said they would count them when they got back. I wouldn't be holding my breath.
Had 3 coon 2 at $10.00 one at $5.00 and one coyote at $50.00 1 at $30.00 and 1 at $7.00 all put up fur.

I will be taking some fur to him at the end of this month. I hope to get a good price he made it sound real good when I talk to him on the phone.

The right to refuse comes to mind, there's more than one buyer out there.
