Dave, I wish I had been more on the ball on your coyotes and had a look at them so I’d have an opinion on them. I really don’t know what they were, Howard graded them and is an exceptional grader. After grading if the trapper isn’t happy with he price we normally try to make something work but didn’t get that opportunity, generally as soon as the bottom is pulled out the average comes way up, in particular when the section 3 is pulled.

Ideally we would have looked at both bags. I have no idea how you split them, then you did bring in the wrong bag? Ideally we look at the full collection then an average is an average, not an average on a lot of hand picked goods.

Grading... many many trappers believe they are good at grading, they definitely pick out their favourites, however, often the trappers favourites aren’t the graders favourites. It takes instruction in order to learn to grade properly. Numerous buyers today have two grades, Good Ones, Bad Ones.

Nice.

Say Kingrat, what did Bryce say?
