Hide prices

[shot'm&hook'm]

What are the general prices for hides now?

Lots and lots of variables. Look at my post on the NAFA sale. Well handled fur brings top price. Poorly fleshed and handled not so much. The NAFA auction cuts out one or two middlemen in the country. You are selling directly to the Russians and Chinese but they won't buy it if it's not nice. I guess you could say the market is much more selective now than in the seventies and eighties.
