Sold all of my Nov coyotes at $30 av. brought from 18-70. My Dec. ones are still in the shed.
Sold all but the best 2 rats for 5.87.
None of the 3 mink sold.
Not sure they are done with coons, but so far about 30% sold with ave. in the low teens.
These prices are before commission.

that`s pretty good dave. I never could do any good shipping with them and I tried several years in a row. part of my issue was one time they took something like 23% in comission and fees of one sort or another. maybe it was more or less. can`t remember, but it was unacceptable. once sold a $54 beaver at fha and got a ck for $35. lol,

Decent numbers based on the other reports I've heard and read about. Just guessing the fur handling was WAY above average. Again proving hard work, attention to detail and pride in the final product pay off.

beats heck out of $3 coons and $10 top end type coyotes at 7b. even if commisions are over the top. I keep thinking of the guy that sold 50 finished like a million bucks beavers for $5.13 avg and still paid 7b a % on that! oh my.... waddel sold 150 raw green skinned beaver from ms. nose count for $10 yesterday in the country. still not enough, but at least he just skinned them and grabbed the castors.

I sold some VA coyote today for $20 nose count. Had one XXXL coon that sold for $10. One LG bobcat that sold for $50. All put up fur, sold to a local buyer.

dewey, sounds lie you did OK. I was expecting 0% of the coons to sell about 2 buck average, so kinda surprised on them. I didn't start on coyotes till later in Nov, as we know what the October ones do. Rats were about what I expected, and I aint complaining on the coyotes. My commission usually figures about 13% after drumming shipping, mag, etc. I'm gonna keep my real job though!
