After todays sale I am convinced I did the right thing by not starting early . A friend I sent furs in for started early, end of October and he ave$69US. Mine form same area , same colors and sizes from late november on ave $114 US. We had same skinner and he noticed it while doing put up . Lets hope this low exchange rate is a mistake , cause that wouldnt be fair to get hosed about 16% on it.
