    This ad turned up on a FB page I follow....spoke to Gay who is keen to purchase fur for orders. She will be in Te Kuiti tomorrow morning and as advertised on sunday. Price is $100 per kilo for lots less than 10 kg ( hand or machine plucked) and $105 for lots over 10 kg. Apparently the prices are destined to stay static due to Chinese pressure.... Gay suggested being certified for possum body harvest as a good boost to fur income....gross and a bit involved but worth the work if you have access to areas where the possums are poison free. Gay also advised the fur weight decreases in storage as the fibres dry out, so makes sense to trade what you have for what theyre paying as you may not be any better sitting on a heap of fur.....other than having a warm arse LOL

    Welcome to the forum kreepy.
    It takes 43 muscle's to frown and 17 to smile, but only 3 for proper trigger pull.
    What more do we need? If we are above ground and breathing the rest is up to us!
    Rule 1: Treat every firearm as loaded
    Rule 2: Always point firearms in a safe direction
    Rule 3: Load a firearm only when ready to fire
    Rule 4: Identify your target beyond all doubt
    Rule 5: Check your firing zone
    Rule 6: Store firearms and ammunition safely
    Rule 7: Avoid alcohol and drugs when handling firearms
