Dave, youre right, Alberta didnt need another low paying fur dealer. If these folks were just another run of the mill buyer then i wouldn't have jumped on board. Im a commission buyer, just paid a set amount per head. The have set levels to pay and i pay those set amounts by grade. Those established levels are called world market levels.
Rod, GFW would generally have fur bought for them by their broker, he bought everything from hogh end cats and lynx to wolves to ermine. Quite the guy, a wealth of knowledge.
As it isnt safe to drive around with gobs of cash, cheques and wire transfers are common today. If that isnt good enough you can send your goods to auction and get their cheque and hope they dont go bankrupt. I cantvaffotd to hire an amoured truck to follow me around all da!
Do note... NAFA isnt the first wild fur auction to go bankrupt. Perhaps study relatively recent history.
