I can only assume you're interested in lifesize:

lynx - $400 - $800
marten - $300 - $500
fisher - $300 - $500
timberwolf - $800 - $1500

Depends on the taxidermist and his quality of work or lack of it..



no not already taxidermied

Let's try this then, from what I've seen on this site, (not current fur prices) and prices on Ebay, here's some ball park prices, assuming they are good quality skins and they've been skinned for LS:

lynx - $150 - $250
marten - $50 - $100
fisher - $75 - $125
timberwolf - $300 - $500

If they are frozen whole then these prices should be a little lower. The reason why current fur prices shouldn't be considered is because skins used for taxidermy will always command more money than furs for the fur industry. There is more time spent skinning an animal for LS. Since taxidermy demands better skins for mounts, the seller will get more for them.... good luck..
