Geez thats better than coon

$1 for me. What do they use the fur for anyways ? cheap trim died to look like other fur ?

Sold an albino possum on taxidermy website many years ago for 50.00

I avg. 7.50 a few years ago ,I think 2013 , an I had 72 that I put up that year

I sold a.lot of finished possum in 90s for $2 or so each. Easy to skin and man you had to really be light with the fleshing blade...more finesse than push or they would tear.
I remember then I could get more for possums than I could for finished fall rats, and possum were so much easier to catch but boy did they stink.

It shows on my nafa account that I sold one opossum for $4.50. But I’ve never got paid for it Does that count?

Almost

Crime in progress

Really .. $25. Wow

Lol

If I remember correctly, I sold 3 or 4 for $6.00 each in the early 80's. The next year, I put up a couple of nice one's, and was offered .10 each. Yes, ten cents. Those were the last possums I ever skinned.

$5 for whole possums. If there’s multiple people around, sometimes $7.

$10 a few years ago at NAFA, found out there’s no top lot awards for possums.

$13.50 , put up on a # 5 wire strectcher.
Weighed 14 lbs.
Would have been probably 1979-80.

At age 12 or 13 in eastern Arkansas during WWII most of my possums (put up) went for $0.50 each. At that time a dollar bought a lot, although my grandfather said he remembered when a man would work sunup to sundown for 40 cents a day, and that then $1 would buy more groceries than one man could carry. Oh for the days when people cooked from scratch. These days too many people too often play possum.
