I know this is the simplest question in the world but I still do not have the answer.....

Can anyone tell me if Fur Harvesters auction will mark down my coon if it's almost Perfect.... except I accidentally big-eyed just one of the eyes?

Thank you.

Will not affect grade unless it is a top lot pelt.


Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

Yup you really goofed by doing that you may have taken that big nice coon from $3.60 to $3.50 minus the commission and shipping. At least the larger auction houses have decent places to store unsold goods. I don't.

Always starry eyes a few coons at the beginning of the year, never noticed a price reduction. If i had I'd of found a different fur buyer

Won't matter, if a person cuts the sides of the mouth before the eyes I find less big eye happening

They stopped making fur coats out of eyelids a long time ago.
