I was at the Groney stop yesterday and he told me $75 for castor which I thought wasn't bad. ( I didn't sell any) The next guy that sold he told him that he over-dried his castor and paid him $60. Green beaver were $6-7 for better $2 for small Friend had a 100 rats and averaged $4.25

A lot of nickel diming at the wagon

A lot of nickel diming at the wagon Always has been, and most disappointing to me is seller after seller just hangs their head and accepts it. Nowadays it's only going to get worse.

Well It's a fact no matter where you sell If you over dry castor your going to get a lower price. They buy by the pound. He was just being straight with you.
Hanging your head? The only other option Is going to auction and If you don't PUT UP YOUR FUR It's all on you. There Is NO arguing with the any local buyer. You are caught by the short hairs.

Yes I was very happy. The thing I hate the most is No One and I mean No one puts up their fur. It seems that the price difference isn't worth putting it up anymore.

Of course it weighed less. But it sounded like he payed him less per pound as his base. 60 dollars a pound because it was too dry?

If you do any 2021 spring beaver trapping talk to groney about dorsal skinning and selling them green that way. You might do better.
