My low end coyote averaged $52 October and Damaged high coyote was $113 no fox sold out of 23 high end rat $3.90 but most were in $2.30 had 4 coons above $15 and one at $28! but most of the coon were under $8. Hoping the next sale the high end coyote hold up a lot unsold but I would not by much looking at a description on line vs looking at it. I will be dealing with them again for sure.

coonman, it depends on how you slice it. From what I've been told, mostly the high end coon (big, heavy), with some damaged stuff as well, sold. So, right now for the more desired coon regions, the averages are decent, some in the high teens, but the clearance is low. Now, more results may be showing up this week, but what happens to the average when the rest of the 80% of the lot sells this summer or next year, or...?

When you sold to GFW with your last coon, did they take them all or leave with the common stuff?

Not true averages, my low end coyotes sold for 25 bucks average. So I was pretty disappointed about that. Cuz I thought they were pretty good coyotes. Now here's where it gets tricky. So ignore it! Coon average 11:50. Only sold a few on the very top end and a few on the very bottom end. Top Coon was $32. So that was exciting. Not really. Badgers sold For $19 a piece average for two. That was the Brite Spot. Mostly. I'm just glad to know that the fur Market Has a pulse.

Here's my take on the Coon Market. If it's top quality heavy big raccoon. With no damage. It's worth pretty decent money. Anything small. Or with damage Is worth $2 maybe or less. I'm not telling a lot of you anything. Just my too cents.

Looks like a pretty tight grade on rats.

I actually think FHA did pretty good, right NOW no fur buyer I know is buying ANYTHING. Being some coon sold is a good sign, it's better than nothing which is exactly what I would receive in the country now. FHA should be commended for making this auction happen.

When you sit back and think of the challenges faced by FHA to hold this sale, all I can say is well done.

1. NAFA folds and there fur input increases dramatically
2. They are holding a sale in North Bay Ont, Then in Toronto Ont in conjunction with NAFA. Then its only going to be online.
3. There is a global pandemic!

So besides wishing for 150 avg on my coyotes and 60 on my beavers, with a 100% clearance on everything, I am happy with it.

Avg 50 on my eastern Coyotes, 20 on my beaver, 2.90 on my rats. About 50% clearance.

Only sold my damaged coon which netted me a 1.90 avg whistle

No foxes sold.

hundred percent clearance on my otter, low price but at least they sold this time round.

Really feel for the smaller fur buyers that bought on speculation in this market. Hopefully not to many of them fold. Truly believe that we need as many options as possible. If you can, support your local buyer and the auction house.

I sold all my rats In the country for a $4.00 nose count. If I would have waited to sell on the FHA sale I would have lost money.
So If a person would have sold In Dec you may have done better. And so far the clearances look pretty bad.

You lucked out Beav. And then the S.S. Corona wrecked on the rocks; people who bought your fur probably not so lucky. Wonder what the country buyer price for 'rats nose count is now.

Oh for a crystal ball.

yes Beav very tight average on muskrat. Think they are grading tight to give buyers confidence. About 5% or 6000 rats were in this lot string : 80182 3X-LG DGD 98080019 3 $2.10 $6.30
