Ok Its not car related unless you think since it was killed with a car is close :blast: Anyway My family has a rear bear skin rug (with head) killed in the 60s by a car, and we were trying to decide whether to sell it. Is there anywhere we could detirmine its value first?? Its a Colorado Brown bear if that matters...
There's an antique store in FTW that has 2 black bear rugs in nearly perfect shape. They wanted 850 and 1000.00. I guess that's a place to start, but so few of them show up, it's hard to know what to ask. Hope this helps. Dan
Mike, have you looked for others on e-bay? Probably a dumb quesition as I typed it. I'm sure you have. Maybe check the KC Star classifieds or other publications. I'm sure a taxiderming service would have an idea. Maybe even a fur place that cleans and winterizes furs. We use Alasken Fur in town here. Should be some info in their somewhere. Jeff
Yea I went to ebay and no listing for a real rug just fake stuff. Im thinking it must be against Ebay rules to sell real rugso No: I need to look into it closer. Thanks for the tip about the taxiderming service that may help.....:TU:
Looks like brown is worth a lot more than black. Got this from a quick search: http://www.viroent.mb.ca/special/ http://www.highsierrafurs.com/bearskins.html - Freed
Well! So much for THOSE brake upgrades! Anyone see a set of Brembo's on Ebay that'll fit a GS? :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: - Freed
For Sale Bear rug with head and claws OK my family will sell it now. Noone has a place for it so if any of you out doorsey guys or gals want this we are going to ask $800 for it and since I cant sell it on ebay Im limited where to sell it I guess Anyone know of any sites to list it on?? Heres the picture its about 6-7 feet long nose to tail.
Man that looks like sumthin' I mighta have run over once with my Freightliner. ou: Oh, wait... there aren't any tire marks on it. A little living room road kill, anyone?? :laugh:
The real story from my grandma was that one of my uncles (long lost rich one probably) hit the bear with a 62 Invicta, yes thats right my relitives had buicks clear back then too..... I knew I liked them for a reason its in my blood!!!:laugh: :eek2:
OK, really, seriously, now that we know the whole story ......................................HOWS THE INVICTA ???? Is it ok ? :grin: :grin: p later.........................
