I think RP's fur buying is a middle man for GWFC. In other words...they forward/sell what they buy to them. So, a bit of a profit margin/handling fee is adjusted for...lol

I carried a nice pile of hides over to Joaquin to sell to him... when the buyer pulled up an ol hand ask him “are you the furrier? “ ... buyer looks down at his arm hair and then back up at that hand and says “ furrier than most I reckon “ lol .. the ol hand turned to me in all seriousness and said “ he’s got a sharp tongue on him “ .. I’ll never forget that lol

No. Nothern coon are barely wanted. Southern, not at all.
Poor people have poor ways.

last time I called RP's I barely got the word coon out of my mouth when they said we don't want any . That was two years ago. I was hoping some new buyers would have come on the seen by now. I guess I was hoping for a miracle. Do they do any better if you ship them to auctions further north? Probably not worth the effort to put those southern coon up and ship to auction. They may bring a dollar or two more on average but you will have to extract shipping and commission charges. There is only one auction house now (Fur Harvesters)...and if you havent heard....NAFA folded a year or so ago.

$1 for a coon hide, off the animal AND fleshed and dried? I am guessing it would take close to an hour to skin and flesh one (never done it) and even if you could do 2 an hour you would be going backwards My guess would be they don't want any period at that price but maybe they have people flocking to them to sell $1 coons
