Yes, all factors play into the end result of course. One guy is telling me that three major EU fur designers have dropped fur due to AR pressures. We all have heard about Gucci dropping fur from their line. Guy claimed that without their pressure in the auction ring, it will be very different bidding on the high end western heavy coyotes. I do hope he is wrong. At least the top guy that always buys the top lot is still in the game and he seems to bid as high as he has to. Hopefully there are enough high end bidders this year to keep pushing him.
