Well the 2012 trapping season has come to a close!  Finally an honest (as they can be) fur buyer bought our lot of rats.  Paid us good to.  We feel like we got a fair price and sold to an honest man.  We hope he makes a dollar to two off the rats he bought from us.

I told you I would let you know what we got for our rats and I will.  It took some time to get things all worked out and I’m very glad we did not fall for the trickery the other buyers were trying to feed us.  I’d rather sell for the same price as a trickster is willing to pay to a local guy who seems to be as honest as they come.  And this is what we did.

We had an offer we turned down.  And after much discussion, Bob and I agreed to sell to the local guy for the same price.  $8.75.

Thank you for buying our rats.  Thank you for being up front and honest.  And a very GOOD LUCK to you on selling those furs for as much as you can get out of them.  I hope you make at least $2 on each pelt.

Bob and I are happy!  And now, with the season behind us, it’s time to really get down to catching up on the work we both have let get way behind on around the house.

Until next season!
