Biden couldn't slap himself on the arse let alone put anything together. I think fur will always be fashionable the same as beef and pork will be fashionable. People will consume it as long as someone else takes the dirty work out of it. I dont think you can compare fur to food or call meat "fashionable". Gaga would disagree.

One or two more stimulus packages followed with more QE will put the DXY(dollar market) at levels as low or below the last lows.

Looks like a lot of people dont know much about the fur industry historically. It has been far worse off than now several times over the last 500 years. It always goes up and down,and will go up again.

China will be looking for fur pretty soon. If Biden gets elected and works out an agreement it should bring some of it back. Yeah, he’ll make Hunter his fur czar.

Boco, you need to keep in mind when we get $1.00 for something you get $1.30 or thereabouts.
This is the worst I've seen it and I wouldn't be afraid to say it's the worst it's been in 150 years.

You are wrong-silk killed the beaver hat market 180 years ago. Also nothing manmade is as warm as real fur.

I think it will be around, but it will be different. Remember a place called Montgomery Ward, and Kmart, and many other businesses that refused to change, and they thought the world needed them a whole lot more than they needed the world. Things are a changing and if the fur industry doesn't change it will fall by the way side. This is just my opinion of course. And just what change do you propose? I really have no idea what it will take. Maybe it is finishing (getting your fur tanned) all your fur and selling it directly to the finale customer, or a large warehouse that sells directly to the customer. At this point I think GFW has the best business model going. Hopefully he can find a way to keep moving fur. I guess I am just saying we need to start thinking outside the box. All I know is the current business model (auction house) doesn't seem to be working. I hope I am not getting anyone all fired up, I am just trying to get people to think a little different.

It always goes up and down,and will go up again. Correct me if I am wrong but Ranch fur and warm, durable synthetics were never available like they are now. I see that as the difference. You are not wrong. Many things are way different than the first 400 years of the fur industry. The last 100 years are the only relevant years. Many things are way different from when I started trapping. There is so much more competition for luxury spending today than just 50 years ago.

It always goes up and down,and will go up again. I have to agree with Boco. Ups and downs. Doesn’t matter what you are involved in things change but still have value. I said 15 years ago kids started school in a one room school house in western Kansas in the 1800’s and will eventually start in a one room school house in the 2000’s. Just watching a satellite TV or computer for classes instead of a teacher. Find the new market when the old one fades-away

Agreed Pawnee. If things more than 100 years old are not relevant anymore then Your constitution is irrelevant too. Thats the trouble with people nowadays,they dont consider how relevant the historical record really is to what we are today and how things unfold in a predetermined way,to a certain extent,based on what went before. History is a foundation on which everything else is built on. You disavow the foundation you are on shaky ground to say the least. That is why the anarchists who want to destroy the current paradigm attack the foundation first-wipe out the history-destroy the foundation and everything crumbles.
