Interesting information. Thanks, I actually appreciate it, you really didn't need to be rude. I was just trying to stick up for myself but you're right that price definately was too high. My apologies.
I know the bear is little and young I wrote his size and never claimed it was an adult, a few years was my guess. He is a really cute little guy and his fur is thick and nice, atleast. I think he looks nicer than other bears I've seen.
I was just curious if any hunters would be interested.
I had my listing taken off of etsy because they dont allow bears. I expect that ebay listing will be taken down - ebay doesn't allow any bears either according to their policies - http://pages.ebay.com/help/policies/wildlife.html
Maybe I should be looking for around 4 to 500?
And seriously, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be rude. I realize you know a lot more than I do about this.
But I do disagree about there not being a market for vintage taxidermy.
