If I remember correctly, their top price for stretched and dried is $45. If the tail is mostly black, you will not get enough to cover shipping.

I just saw Dusty Hough pay $60 for on in Carrington at the NDFTA convention a week ago. Groney rocks. "Not Really, Not Really" Mark J Monti "MJM you're a jerk."

Dave B said they’re going to be putting out another video in the next couple weeks on exactly what they’re looking for. I got a few summers that I want to see what they get at the March auction.
