The last I dealt with NAFA formerly Dominion Sudac, they put pelts in lots according to grade and color. In other words, they did not sell pale hides with dark or red hides.
Maybe that has changed, but I would bet that if a furrier offer to pay a premium for color selected top grade hides, the auction house, any auction house, would be glad to comply if it were a serious offer from a high numbers buyer.
Bottom line, I think there is something fishy about his story.
Pale hides have always brought higher prices, in any of the top grades. He may be trying to do an end run around the auction house to get his pelts at a lower price.
It's a game I've encountered in the past, and in my experience, I have never known it to net the tapper better prices.
