current lots:

Do you folks have and sell to local buyers or are auctions your only outlet?

We have local buyers (most of whom later sell the fur at the auctions) who offer much lower prices than one would get directly at the auctions, but the peculiarities of our harvest permit distribution system and auction requirements (including what's called veterinary certification) make it very complicated for trappers to sell their furs at the auctions, so the majority of trappers end up selling their furs locally.

Thanks,
I often wondered that.

Here we can do both with auctions mostly the more profitable but not always with the costs associated with selling direct through them.

Thank you very much for posting the link this will make the marten trappers very happy.

I that US dollars or Rubles or something else?

usd $$$

Can someone explain what veterinary certification in fur sales means?

Probably something for the garment makers to be able to present as evidence of humane treatment of the critters.

russian money goes around

If the Russians are smart enough to monkey with other countries' elections, they can sure as heck figure out how to defeat sanctions.

That’s believable.

This is a fur sale thread
