The board of directors makes sure the profits go first to running the buisness and expanding the facility when necessary,promoting fur and in years when there are profits above and beyond the necessities back to the trappers in RPC rebates.


What are RPC rebates?


Since nobody including me really answered your question, i will try again. If you own some RPC ‘s ( don’t know how to own them) in the years of high fur prices FHA may reduce the seller commission by a few percentage points. My understanding of what happened during the miniboom. Nafa shipper during miniboom. They did similar with wfsc.

Jake RPC's are a small % of your sales that were put aside in the good years. Been a while since they been issued. We would get a certificate in the mail. Believe the company uses them for working capital. You can cash them out, with interest, by giving notice before Dec. 31 of a given year. As I understand it they are paid out the following July to those who want to cash them out. We have similar at out Coop here.

Gibb or Boco might be able to explain better or correct me.

RPC = Revenue Participation Certificate

My oh my, how ever did anyone sell fur at auction prior the the 2000’s. Must have been almost impossible I’d imagine. What a bunch of whiny spoiled kids we’ve become whining about something like not knowing in real time what is going on. My child and I go at it over this very thing all the time, no patience or wonder left in today’s society. If you want to not be so anxious, send it off and forget about it til you get a surprise in the mail…. almost like a surprise Christmas. Don’t sweat the small stuff, probably 99% + of us are hobby trappers, we have the only hobby that actually gives us money occasionally for what we love to do. This is the way I look at it anyways.

I suppose if you absolutely need to see the transaction in real time you can view it through that little window in Groney's truck?

Yes, no one needs to know or see anything until the check arrives, but asking for a little more and timely info is not unreasonable.

Let's see here.....a producer sends product (trusting good faith in the mail transit system and/or the fur agent) to another country to be sold. The producer should just "forget" about his hard-earned product until a check arrives thru snail mail. That producer now has zero control of anything related to his product once its shipped. He cannot stop the sale or refuse/accept any bids.

Name me another business format that the producer has so little control over his product once it leaves his possession and b4 the producer has seen one cent of his product's value.

The very least any auction company can do (in this modern internet age) is make it convenient for the producer to track his product thru the entire process, including live view of the sale.

I think I'll just continue to sell what few southern pelts at the back of the Groenwold truck....which is the ONLY real option here anyway.

Logs/lumber, my 1st employer got burned on a load of veneer logs to Canada ONCE! After that cash before leaving the header or yard. A friend worked for a lumber company, shipped veneer logs to China and the Chinese wanted to pay 1/2 the agreed upon price when they arrive in China.

No landowner here forgets about his timber until the check arrives.

I guess that depends on the volume of fur you send . your 10 dollar check might not matter much but when you have 10 of thousands of dollars invested it becomes a differant deal

Hey einstein-read the conditions of sale.
No one is forcing you to ship your fur if you dont like the conditions of sale.
By the way I hear NAFA has a great computer-ship your fur there.

All valid points. But you'll probably be called a Karen for bringing them up.

If fur prices were high, this thread would never have started. In my opinion, we're lucky to have an auction company still available. With the few country furbuyers around, it's nice to have an alternate market for the worlds highest bidder. I'm sure they are working on getting the website up to standard but they did have a lot thrown at them when NAFA closed the door.


57 years trapping. It's who I am. Every day is still as exciting as it was when I was a kid but a little more work.
