    Possum Fur Buyers and Prices

    Who are the fur buyers around CHCH?
    And also does anyone know what the tree bear fluff is worth at the mo?


    Actually while I think of it, maybe we could put up a list of the buyers around the country and the prices for the fur. Will make it easy for others to find and keep track of buyers and prices.
    To keep it basic, put up something like this.....

    NAME OF BUYER ............
    CONTACT DETAILS ........
    FUR PRICE ................... $$$$$$ (date - jul '13)

    Yeah, BB don't have a local buyer. Closest agent (Temuka) has retired.
    I was hoping there was someone a bit closer to deal with.
    Cheers Dundee.
    They are a good contact for others though.

    H&F here aren't buying. The deal they had with a fur buyer finished.
    Apparantly Basically Bush Blenheim are coming through CHCH every so often buying up fur. No prices from them yet though.

    I do have a contact now for a local buyer, but he isn't buying at the moment as the Chinese aren't buying the fur.
    He was buying it for $125/kg plus a free trap. He may begin to buy again soon. He is just waiting on more orders for the fur.
    Apparantly the demand overseas for the fur is very low at the moment due to stockpiles of possum fur plus the fact the Chinese are using muskrat fur now as well.

    Is that $120 per kilo? How many do you have to get to produce a kilo of fur?

    Just interested...

    Which means there is better money in skinning Small or low grade for fur, skin everything else.
