Assa FHA auction brought a 61.44 avg on fox with a 100% clearance. Looks like your sale could pretty gd. Only slightly down from last sale.

You put your stuff in the NAFA sale, right? As for the price, I'm hoping the price of oil stays high. I was actually happy to see the price of gas creep up last week :lol: I'll be curious to see how mine grade out. The coons I could give a shit, they bring what they bring, but I had two really, really nice reds. The other 17 were good, but some were caught towards the end, and they always start shedding out very early here. I'm convinced the early sale is the way to go from here on out.

I just had to look up what my average was last time. My red average was $84.00, and gray average was $50.73. If it happens again, I'll be happy as a soft crab, but realistically, even half that would be ok.

Yes I have mink, muskrat, beaver, coon and marten in the nafa sale. The marten is not mine though. The FHA sale finished yesterday the reds were 61.44 and the greys were 32.05

That's too bad, because the marten is selling very, very well. Clearing $150 easy for XL.

I think this is where something clever about tapatalk should go.

Keep it I liked it, was just saying. Wait nevermind I see I'm too late. I'm considering changing mine, kinda sleazy looking.

It gets confusing when they're too similar...

It was better than the late sale last year, but I got spoiled when I put furs in the early sale for the first time this year. That sale was insane, and from here on out, everything I have close to ready to go is going. Have to wait until tomorrow for my grays and coons.

That's pretty good for the coon. We just don't get them that big here. All mine were graded north central, no westerns. I've got some things I'm going to change next year when I stretch them, maybe get a couple more bucks out of each one. My red average was down, but still above last year's late sale. But mother of hell, all the buy backs on the grays hurt.

Did you pleat the ass end when you stretched it? Supposedly you can maybe lose a size, but you can pick up 2 or 3 places on the grade by doing that. Never done it before, and may have been screwing myself all these years by stretching to get to the longest possible size. That's all changing next year, as are my fox ears.

Yes I did pleat it. Don't know if it helped or not. I hear that people have got top lots with or without pleating mink or coon

13.00 avg on my rats 17.00 was my best. That was the highest price payed for central rats. 3 bought back mink and one female fetched 9.50 :x I didn't even have a rat sell that low. That auctioneer sucked. Wild mink were a bust

I'm sure it's the same one I don't like. The British sounding guy I like, and the French guy I like, but that other mealy-mouthed bastard irritates me. He was the one doing my reds.

I can't hear the auction but everyone says he sounds like a kid and is studdering and fumbling around

Yep, that's the one. He's horrible, and I consider him bad luck.
