I don’t think that GFW will do as well out West as they do in the US. We have a pretty good logistical network of fur depots as opposed to down in the States. I’ve seen what American Trappers are getting for their fur from local buyers and it’s absolutely ridiculous. When GFW comes in and pays a little more it looks like a great bargain.
I’m pretty sure that GFW won’t be offering as much as what you would get at auction otherwise, what’s the point? If you can get $100 for a pelt at auction, based on reasonable expectations, selling for immediate payment at $80 isn’t all that appealing to someone that doesn’t need the cash right away. It might be what some people want though, who knows. Kind of like Payday Loans where you get money right away at a cost?
It’s not something that I’m Interested in but it might be a good option for other people......for whatever reason. It’s nice to have the option available.
