I sold 8 pounds about a month ago to a local buyer in Michigan for $70 straight run and there was a lot of junk.

Marty, if flights are restricted to where your markets are that may have an impact. Also the end user may be adjusting what they think they need if they're projecting a world wide economic slump coming on.

You read that wrong.




I was making light of someone not being able to see any reason that castor prices would be down.




Theres no sarcasm font.



The world is coming apart at the seams and anyone with any brains is taking precautions to survive.



Which includes not buying anything they dont need.



Big capital outlays seem a little risky right now.









But nooooo! The castor buyers are gouging.




Give me freaking break.

bch has probably bought more castor than most everyone on here has seen over all his years of fur buying.

I believe he was referring to not being able to get castor into the UK where a vast majority of it is sent. If they can't get it to the consumer they are not going to pay as much, same as furs.

For shipping semi-dry castor it needs to be protected by plastic or it can dampen the box. If that happens USPS will discard your shipment into the hazmat box and you most likely will have lost your shipment. It has happened to me.

I sure do feel like a idiot. I never knew castor was so valuable and really got taken advantage of by a local around my area. Guy seemed like a good guy. No wonder he kept asking for my castor. He would trade me a small bottle of lure which hasn't caught a turtle for it. I gave him the castor out of 18 beaver for 1 small bottle of lure and some some new 330 triggers.
