Where are these being sold for that kind of money and who is buying them because at those prices there would be a ton of guys willing to Tan and sell them. Also, if brain tanned and smoked sells that high, why is a commercially tanned hide basically worth only the price of getting it tanned? Not saying I don't believe you but this is the first I have ever heard of that kind of premium pricing.
