Default How did you do on your rats?

I am not sure if I should be happy or not. I think I am o.k with it but not what I expected. Here are my Rats in U.S prices I ended up with a $9.32 U.S average this sale simpered to a $12.77 last sale but I had a lot of smaller rats in this sale. I think in the end I can't complain for $10 a rat. Fingers are crossed for tomorrow and my yotes

Too bad fur prices haven't kept pace with inflation.....then again,I spose everybody would be trappingthen,like back in the 80's.Prior to the anti-fur market crash in the 90's,no doubt many here recall averaging $8-$9 for rats,back when 8-9 bucks was equivalent to $30-40 bucks today.Gas was .25-.30 cents/litre,and a dozen 110 conis were $30.Caught my first fox and mink at 12yo in 1980,iirc I got $115 for the fox and $30ish(?) for the mink.$60 beavers from the 80's should be fetching $250 today.....sigggghhhhh
