    I just sold 4 coon, 43 rats, and 1 possum.

    Prices are bad and are projected to get even worse.
    All my fur that I sold was green skinned.

    1 XXL Coon @ $12
    4 YOY Coon @ $4/ea

    43 rats @ $99 making a $2.30/avg.
    The rats were graded very hard with large going for $3.50, mediums for $1.75, and kits for $.50.

    The buyer I talked to said the market will not likely stabilize anytime in the near future and could be a few years. He also mentioned they have no market for the fur they are continuing to buy and will more than likely be sitting on them for awhile.

    Russia, China, and the US economy is in rough shape and is in part responsible for the fur market bust.
