Don't like what hearing for prices on coon,mink, beaver. Rats. Nothing. But now hear lower prices with flu china, was thinking sell rats an ship other goods listed to fha for may/ June sale. Looking for advice if sale mat be higher prices for coon, beaver an mink by then, especally coon , I hear mink well not sell, what fha do them? They don't like stuff sit around long, but country prices are low mink, mainly what I considered About is need extra cash now but extremely low price coon, with big coon I have now. Possible better fha spring sale price on better coon?

I doubt prices on beaver, mink, coon will be better by the May/June sale. In my opinion, you should sell now in the country or hold the goods until next season.

Analysis paralysis (or paralysis by analysis) describes an individual or group process when overanalyzing or overthinking a situation can cause forward motion or decision-making to become "paralyzed", meaning that no solution or course of action is decided upon. A situation may be deemed as too complicated and a decision is never made, due to the fear that a potentially larger problem may arise. A person may desire a perfect solution, but may fear making a decision that could result in error, while on the way to a better solution. Equally, a person may hold that a superior solution is a short step away, and stall in its endless pursuit, with no concept of diminishing returns. On the opposite end of the time spectrum is the phrase extinct by instinct, which is making a fatal decision based on hasty judgment or a gut reaction.

Analysis paralysis is when the fear of either making an error, or foregoing a superior solution, outweighs the realistic expectation or potential value of success in a decision made in a timely manner. This imbalance results in suppressed decisionmaking in an unconscious effort to preserve existing options. An overload of options can overwhelm the situation and cause this "paralysis," rendering one unable to come to a conclusion. It can become a larger problem in critical situations where a decision needs to be reached, but a person is not able to provide a response fast enough, potentially causing a bigger issue than they would have, had they made a decision.[1]

Do you have any idea how many times you have asked this same question always hoping for a different answer and always getting the same answer? The market sucks and it is not going to get better anytime soon . Your choices are sell at auction, sell locale or hold them till next year that's it.Asking the question over and over will not raise prices and this year no one has a silver bullet or wand that is going to change anything sorry . It is what it is.

Coonman is guaging the market by polling the members on t-man.And keeping his polling up to date.

Send everything to FHA.

Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Don't understand why the same question gets asked every week by the same person. Think the market changed since last week?

You need to gauge the market before you do all that work. Or, have a plan, to avoid selling at a loss to the international fur trade.

i wouldnt spend much time trying to correlate china health problems with fur markets. the fur markets suck period. going to take lots of things to align for that to change and virus isnt even the tip of that iceberg.

coronavirus is its own beast when it comes to the economy.

Coonman, sell now at a low price. Or, sell next season and hope that your stale goods are worth more then than they are now. At this point, it's a question of how much do you want to lose, when do you want to lose it, and would you like to do it yourself with a country buyer or let FHA do it for you. At least if you let FHA sell it for you, only one of you loses. FHA will make a profit. If you sell in the country that's one less person making a profit off your effort. Don't be greedy.

If I remember right, he has 60 some rats, 33 coon, 40 mink, 10 beaver and an otter. Money now or money in June is the question?
