Well I just got off the phone with Gary G. and he said they decided to go back to the prices they were at before everyone freaked out over the Corona virus. I am sure that hair will ignite on some who sold out during the panic that followed. He said he was at 14.00 for 3-4x clean heavy #1 skins. Sometimes it pays to have a thousand to flesh while all the speculation and chaos abounds. Let the hate begin. Hope all my friends listened and still have their fur to sell at the revised prices.

Cool. So when it is all said and done, they just made a little extra feeding off of the virus scare.

I'm guessing they will look back through their records and everyone that sold 4x and 5x for 3 dollars will be getting a check in the mail. I'll be checking the mailbox daily. Maybe they will make up for it next year !!

I don't understand the thinking. The guy knocks his prices, everyone follows suit, using a sickness in china as an excuse, and now that he shafted enough people out of their fur cheap, suddenly he is a hero? He doesn't rock...I'm sorry. Last year, my 4X brought high twentys at Fur Harvester sale. WTH! And Larry, I'm not a hater. You know that. But each to their own.

Question: What's worse 3$ coon on a 14$ market or a bad check?

I'm sure the prices that groney quoted plunger and LLL are factual. But how many of your hides are going to grade that way? And are the ordinary skins that don't fit that category going to sell In the $2.00 pile?
When the dust settles I'm betting your still going to be looking at a $5.00 average.

Strange isn't it?

Ever ship to auction and alot of your stuff goes cheap first sale, and your leftovers go better next sale?

Exactly what I was thinking. How many coons are going to grade A out there?

They've been denning up since late Oct here in Wi, so they'll all be yellow and bit, according to the buyer.

Beav I’ve sent all my coon to FHA and over the years have averaged out at 14$ I trap as many as I feel like dealing with
