Heavy Can-Am Sable and Female Fisher Advance 25%

March 31, 2015

NAFA’s offering of over 62,000 Can-Am Sable was very well received, with Korea dominating better quality heavy sections. Prices advanced 25% or more in in XXL-XL, in heavy sections, while semi-heavy sections advanced 10-15%.

Female fisher sold under very strong competition with China dominating, driving prices to advance 25% or more for better qualities. Males, which are very inexpensive in comparison to females, met some resistance, and sold 52%.

Interest from international fashion houses generated increased competition on both of these items.

Lynx met some resistance, due to circumstance in the Russian market. However, premiums were paid on clearer colours.

I think I'll just bite my tongue.

Musher has your tongue quite bleeding?

mine bleed for a year when a 135$ valued marten did not sell till the 3rd round for 454
at least there has been some improvement, but they could wake up and realize the best are in the front of the auction and not mid-way as in the fisher females

It's still bleeding ....

I'm guessing that you missed the caps lock button and that you marten sold for $54 and not 454.

iPhone and big fingers and little type size make 45$ turn to 454
Too bad the buyers woke up past the best offered female fisher had been hammered.
At least last year we were not bumping into the competition

Big fingers also make big nostrils!

I am expecting a lot fewer trappers in the bush this fall. Some are already saying the old "No one should trap for a year. That'll show them!" hype. They don't have a clue.
