Hopefully a tannery don't turn them into religious cats for you.

At the OTC sales in Oregon there are always a few eye poppers that will fetch sky high prices. Sometimes I think it is buyers trying to show off or prove themselves to others....but whatever (right?) when those cats bring in the big bucks. I'm wondering if now those special eye popper cats don't become run of the mill $500 cats without competitive bidding?

We all know what top lot western cats have done in recent years at NAFA and FH.

Without completive bidding ok your cats maybe sell or not, a buyer gets the pick of the litter at his price, the broker makes money for every cat sold sure money for both of them not so for the trapper. Bobcats are the only spotted Legal traded pelt in the world and western cats make up the smallest amount of thousands of cats they should command competitive bidding in my opinion.

Didn't Groney say the dressed hides will be shown to multiply buyers.That sounds like competitive bidding to me.
Nothing ventured nothing gained.

When it comes time to sell my rats and coon I need all the help I can muster. So a bit of apple polishing can't hurt.

Here is what he said.........."Your well handled skins will be seen dressed by many buyers and sold to the manufacturer willing to pay the most. We are generally “sellers” and don’t try to hold out for the last nickel. This may or may not benefit you."

Not sure that really describes a competative bidding process.

I wonder how that actually works. Do they not sell that cat to the first buyer hat offers to buy it? Do they have a minimum offer in mind? How do they decide how many potential buyers get to look at it before they say "Sold"! And over what time period.

I think this has been covered. If you are getting $25 per sale. What do you care what they sell for? You are going to sell! I know I would.

Well, if you're showing it to multiple buyers and I quote "we sell to the buyer willing to pay the most" how do you know it was the buyer willing to pay the most if the one willing to buy it for the least saw it first, buys it, and GWF still gets their commission?
