70136 1X SELECT SEMI XXPL-SPOTTED A 99070366 1 $176.00 $176.00

Thanks to the folks posting their results!! Much appreciated and more welcome.

I was hoping for rats and mink to improve more but it is what it is.

Yep those L-O-W priced Select female mink were PT sold.

Well I see now people are catching on to why I was so mad about all the pt sales before an actual auction. If they had updated the accounts no one would have shipped a thing except for a few. Those few would still ship to NAFA if they opened back up though I believe. Live and learn....or not.

Is one of the factors affecting the low PT prices for mink because mink to not store very well long term? I only had one left and it sold for a dollar but that mink has been dead for two years.

my fur is there from a year ago. i will be seeking options this summer

GFW had higher averages on otter and raccoons.

Believe I saw somewhere many moons ago that "TB" stands for "Titty Belly".

If Im reading these posts right....you guys could have sold your coon green to Groenwold for as much or more than FHA just sold it dry for.

Yep.

This still doesn't rival the debacle of NAFA's Oct. internet sale years back where they sold cheap.

Where GFW was paying 3 to 5 for southern raccoon, FHA paid between 1 and 2.50.

Finally sold the last four mink that have been at FHA since January 2018. $3.50 for all. No, not average.

I figure this will quiet the Groeny bashers up for awhile.

This is a point worth expanding on. No one is happy with the PT prices FHA sold for as the fur market bottomed out recently. However, it MAY be that they needed to move some fur just to stay solvent. Would anyone have been better off had they gone under, our fur was moved through the bankruptcy process, and one more of our marketing options went away?

I see now why my lot numbers that were not listed in the current sale catalog, and sold PT before the auction, prices were not updated on my account. Like someone else stated here, they knew it would stop many from shipping more fur to FHA.

With these auction results, next fall While I’m deer hunting during our 7 week deer season. My traps will be resting in the trapper shack.

Just to be clear......
I was referring to the NAFA sale as the boom started about 10 years ago and fur sold for about 30% more at auction than it did a couple months earlier at their internet sale.

Hung mine up 3-4 years ago Squash, the Chinese can come trap their own for that money. I'm not their slave labor.

I still have a Red Fox that has been at FHA for quite a while.

No, actually GWF pays the same to everyone. Bring in first week blue coon and you get $3. Bring in your nice prime stuff later on you get the same. He does not buy on quality, he buys on average. It does not pay to sell your higher quality coon to GWF.

What come on now, it was covid and no one working, and it was cold out, and ......pretty smart play on their part oh here's some Christmas money stuff is really selling blah blah.

I will be trapping next season for sure. Due to all the money people got from the government and unemployment I was to busy to trap last season. I did set a few out at times but this year,thanks to all the work I have had, I will be trapping at least the whole month of November and part of December. I won't send fur in anymore since the NAFA deal. I will sell go Trevor Barnes and get a fair price judge by quality of fur I produce. I am doi g this as a vacation a d any money made will just be a bonus. The more guys that don't trap the better for me so by all means, keep those traps in the shed this coming season. I think a lot of trappers a afraid to ship fur and don't know where else to turn besides GFW and they pay poorly compared to Barnes. Good luck to all of you that decide to trap. Critters still need to be thinned out in most places or we will have problems later.
