FH makes money on both ends of a sale. Both buyers and sellers pay commissions and fees.

If a damaged small muskrat sells for 10 cents. The seller gets 8 or 9 cents. The buyer pays 71 cents. FH makes 62 or 63 cents. Seems fair.

I know this is an extreme example. Would be much different if the item was a $500.00 wolverine.

Surprised how low the fur amount is at FHA, would have thought it would be higher after NAFA and with the climbing market.

I think they are not offering everything this sale. All fresh bobcats are being held for June. I didn’t see any low grade ermine.

Some items might be held so they will offer a better collection in June. Plus with prices going up, some trappers probably sold in the country to instant cash rather wait several months and gamble that the market will stay strong.

That was the point I was trying to get across. Some here have Fur Harvester Auction derangement syndrome .

No argument there from me. Same could be said for GFW, Barnes, Hough, Xander or any other buyer.

Difference of opinion is not necessarily a bad thing either.

But folks do need to pay attention to what is being discussed. Some seem to need a lot more detailed explanation than others.
