In a stable market the spring sale is normally 10% less than a winter sale. On a rising fur market like now it is near the same and often higher. Forget that fear of gravity-get a little savagery in your life.

At FHA even the blanket hatters sold for $43 today! That is about how hatters went during that last beaver mini-boom two three years back. Last edited by beaverpeeler; 2 hours ago. My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I had 6 otter, 3 put up 3 green, all 2X or larger and averaged 57.50. Do you know what the size cut off is for FHA between 3x-2x and 4x-3x? I have no clue. They do some funky things on Otter sizing. Their website says that anything over 40" is a 2X otter. There's not even a 3x or 4x size listed. I found some old forum posts saying the 3x and 4x sizes are the Alaskan otters that are much bigger than our lower 48 otters. If they have enough quantity they create a new size bracket for those otters. If not, they're thrown in with the 2X I have no proof, but I'd bet the 4x-3x size is 46"+, the 3x-2x is 42-46", the 2X are 40-42", and the XL are 38-40" Our southern otters are typically LG sized with some XL's and 2X's sprinkled in. I don't think our otters would ever make the 4x-3x size or 3x-2x unless you just caught one of those freakishly big ones. Yours may be a little smaller than mine. The one I measured was 41" and he was not the largest. I am sure all 6 were over 39". Funny you say that, because a conversation I had when I was trapping, an Alaskan told me he thought their otter ran smaller than ours. Gotta find a way, a better way, I'd better wait Just because you're paranoid doesn't mean they're not after you

Unfortunately that is the risk of sending to Auctions. 2008 housing crash, Sars, Russia invasion of Ukraine, Chinese importer arrests, Covid, etc. Hopefully, the Chinese keep buying for a market.

A buyer buys the first lot then he may have the option of taking similar graded lots that follow at the same price. The lot numbers will show a jump past these purchased lots, I watched the complete marten sale and all lots were sold that I saw

High bidder of lot 1 has the option to buy the string. so lots 1-8 sold for x dollars then the next string maybe lots 9-11 same game then 12-19 etc. If your lot was in the middle of a string, that's why it seemed they went passed it.
