Anybody still have fur to be sold at NAFA? Sale is this week. I know my fox, and late coyotes should sell ok. Hope some of my stuff that didn't sell first time around gets sold.

My coon and opossum are graded waiting for auction.

I have 9 coyote, 21 coon, 11 opossum and 1 red fox in this auction. Hope to do ok.

Good luck all you fur catchers! Hope this sale sets new records. h.h.

Thanks HH! Me too!

Hope you guys did better than me. I had 26 coon in this auction, 13 coon sold for an average of $9.80. the other 13 were bought back. I sold all of my SDA but only one of my *Sel sold. I'm sure my opossums will really give me a boost tomorrow. lol. oh well, I might end up with enough to buy another dozen traps.

That doesn't sound too promising Haymaker! COME ON GRINNERS!!!

Thought prices were gonna be good this year. What happened?

Likely a big part of it is the whole deal with what is going on with Russia.

the fur market was tanking hard before that, that has not helped any

I sold mine coon in December for $12 avg (no 11% NAFA commission) to groenwold, I thought I got hosed then but feeling better about the prices now.

76, you did good... I shipped to Groeny last year and was very satisfied.
This is the first year I have fleshed my own and the first half of mine were pretty ugly but the last half of my hides turned out pretty good. It seems my damaged hides seem to be selling better than my best graded coons.
None of my money makers (Grinners) sold.

Good news, I've sold a couple more coon
Bad news, My average dropped.. lol

Pure luck really on market timing.

when I sold there were early indicators the prices were headed down, but also people saying the prices at NAFA were going to be mide 20's or higher.

I control what I can and do my best to handle fur right. I skin all mine on a machine and they are all dry and brushed out and have no holes in them.

I sent 42 skins in and only sold 14 of those. Sent 9 yotes sold 1 for 35. Had 21 coon, sold 9 for a 10.92 avg. Had 11 grinners all were bought back and sold 1 red fox that a guy gave me after he shot it. It had a huge bullet exit hole in it I tried to sew and then tore it turning it inside out. Got $14 for it.

Pretty disappointing sale to say the least, but I do it for the fun of it and don't get too caught up in the prices.
