I see bobcats for sale for $100.00 to $150.00. With cats selling at the fur auction for $250.00 , this seems cheap?
Question 2 ? If I were to offer prime coyote / beaver / fisher /fox /bobcat etc.What could I expect to receive for a prime coyote for example? Of course all permits / licences etc. would be obtained befor selling anything.

The fur auction sold bobcats from $3 to $900 today. Where are your $250 cats coming from, what size and color, what quality? There were plenty of cats under $100.
Example: A Kansas cat is a Central and those sold for very little money.
Fur auction prices aren't the same as taxidermy prices. The taxidermy cats are either sold by trappers who know they will get more $$ from the cats by selling them for taxidermy, or are sold by trapper-taxidermists or fur buyers (again, who know they will get more for taxidermy then from fur).
The cats at the fur auctions don't have feet and seldom have jaws. If you can mount that... awesome.
Fisher topped out at $330, otter $320, lynx $380, coyote couple hundred $$ BUT the averages for each species were substantially less. Fisher $80-100, otter $120-150, lynx about $150-200, red fox $160 top and about the usual average (high $20's), coyote anywhere from $2 to $50 depending on section. Nobody had feet.

"coyotes couple hundred $$...red fox $160.00.." Let me guess. NAFA published prices?
doug this would be correct
the only way i would pay 160 for a fox is if had golden bones u r crazy $70 is the high end
