From Trapperman-

I don't know the averages from the sale. I left about half way through it. I am posting MY prices because I appreciate all those who do that on this site. Some did better, some did not.

MUSKRATS ave. $4.42
LM-$2.50 (young dark leather thin rats)
L-$4.50
XL-$5.50
(I heard a guy before me got $8 on some of his rats)

POSSUMS ave. $2.24
1st bundle $1.25ea
2nd bundle $2.75ea (I thought the first bundle was better, but I guess they didn't)

COONS ave. $9.58
Damaged $7.50 (this did better than some guys best) small holes, rubs, bite marks
LGE-$2.25
XL-$4.50
2X-$7.75
3X-$14.00

COYOTES ave. $18

#3-$19ea
#4-$34ea
#5-$13ea

Red FOX ave. $26.50
2@ $24ea (kind-of pale)
2@ $29ea (about as cherry as I see from my area)

Grey FOX $19

MINK (bucks, sold in the round) @ $17ea

OTTER (sold in the round) ave. $41.38
high $46 low $39

BEAVER green $10.63 ave.
high $15 low $6.75
(these may have done better if I'd have got them bundled together. kind-of had a mishap, and sizes got mixed loading on the conveyor belt by my help. my fur was selling and I was at the other end of the belt. the buyers were great though and worked with me on it. any losses that may have occurred are my fault.)

That is just the way I ran it through the sale.

There were 17 buyers present as far as I know.

GOOD PROPERLY HANDLED fur did better than the lower quality poorly handled stuff did. That's a no-brainer for most, but always worth mentioning.

Thanks, Dale. You did very well!! I sense optimism among the 17 buyers!!! Lots of positive surprises and no negative surprises. That is always a good thing!!
