Checked my account and everything is graded. Interested to see how things go.

Where are you seeing the prices valuations on the FHA website ?

Can't seem to locate them anywhere, or does one have to be a buyer ?

I think only registered buyers can see the catalog with values. Maybe dealers can see them too.

My bears show as graded now but the description and grading and color doesnt match the catalog.

What is the top lot of Marten valued at?

wissmiss is not going to put her dealers permit on the line.giving out that info

one way around it is to send a blank cheque with your signature on it and when she cashes it after the purchase you will know

It is a strong top price. But it has been higher and it has been lower.

It is double digits. Not triple digits.

Hope that is good enough.

Perfect,thanks.

I suppose they value the skins to acclimate the buyers to the desires. I know Nafa showed some trappers as well and when the figures fell short they got harassed. Values are merely subliminal messages. It’s gonna take competition/demand to move skins.

When Alaskan marten average triple digits, then we are talking. Everything I buy cost triple digits. Keep working on your game.

They gotta start somewhere.

I think that the prices that XXL beaver will get are going to be eye-popping for us guys that have been used to dirt low beaver prices for waaaaay too long. Only 30,000 beaver and demand is very high for beaver felt. I just read a early March report saying that the marketing projection for fine western hats is going to grow a ton from 2023 to 2028. I think the brokers will be authorized to pay whatever it takes to get their felt.

So, the All hat and no cattle crowd is the beaver market. lol

Real cowboys used muskrat felt, beavers finer furred cousin

Mink selling at $1-2 so far

Most lots they can't even give away

Ok (This word is unacceptable on Trapperman) all I can here is static with a faint talking once and awhile

Yeah the audio quality is terrible
Raccoon are selling...good bidding on some lots but inconsistent

Racoon is selling but not at prices most will be happy with. First lot sold for $20....

Lots of no sale's after the first 30 ish lots.

Interest in raccoon dropping quickly...buyers must have gotten what they need in the first few lots
