I don't believe so, had some $40 supers and $30 blankets. The averages at sales with 10% commission brings them down to this or lower.

What was the smaller beaver worth?

Remember these 20$ levels just recently occurred if the demand has any depth, you could be speaking too soon. Enjoying the optimism of satisfaction in sales again.

Takes me 1.5 hours to flesh/board a beaver...$6/hour for the work involved. That is probably triple what we make trapping!

Might be more than what they make for all the other work and expense excluding flesh and put up. Who is John Galt?
