# Maybe the castor was sloppy wet and the weight/price got discounted. It also doesn’t say how much castor was offered. Maybe it was a small amount, not enough to attract much interest.
Numbers alone don’t tell the whole story. Yet that is all some people look at before they panic. $30 for misspelled marten. Mine will be worth $70.

At these auctions sometimes a buyer can look around and see if he has any competition and then bid accordingly. I'd do the same in their position.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Wallfur - are you saying that you bought castor for roughly $20.00 a pound less than castor was selling for last season. If I bought something that cheap, I wouldn’t be talking about it. I’d take my nice profit and smile all the way to the bank. Just saying. $20 less? Some was green Some was hulls Some was dried hard as a rock and moldy From I’ve seen in the castor market so far this year, most have backed off Will see how the market plays out this year
