Also got one real good coyote in there
XL-LGE *I GC 1-2
Also got some real good grades and colour on a bunch of others and one rat that is a labelled skin.
Will be interesting to see what happens this sale.
I already know what my marten prices will be. They screwed up and did not have them in last years sale and they were supposed to be. They said if i got lower prices this sale than last year they would give me the difference and give me the highest price so that was cool with me

I also have to mention that all of these were dogs that I caught early that I have at this sale. I started about October 20th I think and not one of my dogs has graded early or extra early. Kinda puts that wait till mid November thing out to lunch. Got to love it!!

Cool i never knew that. It says pre sale value at $80 which does not make sense. There is another one worth $125 presale in there? Is that in U.S and how close is the sale usually to those prices?

I have 39 in this sale (told to hold to this year from my 2014/2015 season). These pelts were from my first ever season trapping. So....my first ever marten being put to auction! I believe I have my first top lot? I have 1 in lot# 241401 and 2 in #241402. Of these 39, 19 were graded as select. Anyone know what the 4 graded as SSL means? Can't find SSL in the NAFA grading manual.

I wasn't aware of this and it's good to know.....Thanks! How do these pre sale estimates generally coincide with the final auction sales? Is what's listed pretty much what you can expect your fur to sell for?

I don't remember seeing the presale estimate data last year. I will be very disappointed if the prices are close to the estimate. My guess is the estimated prices are generated using some simple algorithm and true demand prices will be substantially higher.....eternal optimist??....lets all hope.
I compared some similar grades to last year and last years prices were 30% better on average than the "estimate"

How many coyotes you have in there. All the ones I sent in where taken starting Nov 1. I also am real happy with the grades I got. Just hope they sell now.

Rules of the game...
Clean market, big demand, easy grade.

This makes total sense but i thought the market was pretty clear for coyotes?? Grades on them seam to be pretty harsh this sale, Western Heavy doesn't have a single select dog? That seems kinda strange and only a few I as well. My best is in 240336, not as good as i had hoped since i sent a couple beauties.

Why would they change the grading from one sale to the next? If they are early they are early not II's? I felt I got off easy on my grades. I expected a lot worse.

Nor should it be. It's Fur harvesters lol They don't usually get as good a price for long hair. Most of their coyotes are Eastern coyotes. Wish i could send my beaver there. Halford only ships to NAFA. Does the ATA ship to Fur Harvesters as well as NAFA?

curious. i don't have any marten in this sale. if someone would share what are they showing as a presale estimate on some of the marten(with the grade)?? that would be great.
the presale esimate on the coyotes, i have in this upcoming sale is great. if they can match those prices, i'll be super happy.

I'm not putting much trust in these numbers to be honest Bragg. Not sure how they got them and how they can really start placing a number on them. Not sure if my prices are really all that great for my marten. I would have thought that Select and top end furs would have been worth more than what they are saying.
