And quality is never considered, mentioned or asked for ;-/

If they're "reputable"  aren't you competent enough to PRICE THEM accordingly when you SELL THEM?Huh?

I knew I couldn't ask a question on here without hearing from at least one ass.

Thanks to those of you who were actually helpful.

I'd much rather be an ass than a half-ass. That "inexpensive" crap wears thin.  It's always used by hacks looking for something "free" yet expecting to make top dollar when they turn it around.

I don't expect anything free or to sell anything for top dollar. But I can't pay $15 to have a coon hide tanned that will only bring $20 after expenses there is no profit worth messing with. I'm willing to pay for good work, within reason. Anyone trying to make a little money will understand this.

I was gonna offer my services until I got to your last post.  WAY to cheap.  I charge 50.00 for coon.   Would maybe make consideration for just a wall hanger and with some volume, but would still not be near what price range you are looking for..  I agree with George.   Hope you find someone to do them.

The three I listed Are Garment tanneries.  They are the LOWEST prices your gonna find and still get your skins back in good condition.  They are all within a few dollars of each other.  Good Turn arounds and good quality.   Volume is the key with wallhangers... The more you tan at once, the cheaper it is, and the better you can absorb those few cheap skins that in the end cost you more to tan than they are worth... Good luck with the wallhanger market right now... Its a bit flooded right now but fur prices are up from what I hear..

Leakee Teepe  in Tennessee would probably do them coon for 5 dollars each. They might have 50 holes in each pelt but you would get them cheap.
