And secondly, is it generally the case that the descending order of the lots that follow reflect the quality/grade of those lots? The higher up on the page means higher quality...and as you get deeper into the lower lots, the quality lessens?
It seems that would be the obvious answer but I'm always confused by how the prices seem to jump all over the place...1/3 of my furs high...then a bunch that show a significant drop in price...then a bunch back up there again....
I realize that primeness, clarity, colour all affect prices...but wonder if this could also be a result of the auction bidding process...

Yes those 8 coyotes are the only ones that get Top Lot.. thats it thats all.
The reason you see the prices jump around is that the lots are listed in ascending order starting with - best grade - Best color - FOR 1-2 Clarity.
Once it has gone down the list of grades and colors for 1-2 it goes too Best grade - Beast color - FOR 3-4 Clarity... this is where you see the jump in price. A *SEL GC 1-2 really isn't much different than a *SEL GC 3-4 just a little darker on the belly.
With Coyotes its Grade gets you paid... SEL and I
