I gotta say groeny was a new option for us up here this year and ALOT of guys ended up selling there fur especially coyotes to them for serious dollar. I'm thinking in 2 days I might be swearing. I hope the auction is better but I now have my doubts.

That was a rhetorical question, not really looking for an answer. I'm here to BS as well. I find the fur market thread more entertaining than the apocalypse threads!

Let's hope the coyote market does not go the way of the coon market once groeny is able to dominate that market as well.

I have about 200 coyotes to get on the 2nd sale if possible with all the virus craziness. Imo the auction is the best option of making the most money for my hard work. I have no problem with fha , I know they are all working very hard at making this sale and future sales as successful for both sellers and buyers as possible.

In one of my earlier post I said I hope they have a fantastic sale and the 2nd is even better and still stand by that 100%. Only thing I was asking was a little more transparency, but after more consideration I feel this is not the time for that discussion. I don't want to be banned from fha cambridge because I have too much at stake. This valuation thing seems to be a very serious subject for fha especially right now.

Just because I dropped out of this discussion doesn't mean you all can't discuss things and keep this thread running. It is an interesting exchange of opinions imo.

rpmartin- If you have 200 yotes to sell at FHA, I would think they would want to keep you around for the commission and pull up their big boy pants of being able to take some criticism about they're running this auction. Your yotes may not be Montana Hi-Line pale heavies but I wouldn't want your commission money to walk out the door by banning you for saying something I may dislike on a trapping forum. But maybe that's just me...

I'd be more interested in the valuations before I even sent them in and beyond that what things actually sell for at this sale so I can decide whether to empty the freezer or get creative.
