Welcome! Go to furtakerofamerica.com under links you will find various sites including NAFA which will provide recent auction results. The last auction was last week in Copenhagen. Also, if you subscribe to Trapper and Pred Call or Fur Fish and Game there are monthly columns on the subject. Your question is very broad since we no nothing of what you will trap or your location.

I live and trap in KY. Here are the prices I saw at fur auction for KY furs this past season:

Coyote: 20-25$
Red Fox: 20-35$
Grey Fox: 10-15$
Coon: 5-10$
Mink:5-10$
Rats: 1-5$
Possums: 1-4$
Beaver:5-10$

These are the average prices, and as you can see there are big differences. Like red fox: You may get 35-40$ for one or you may get 20$ for one. It is all in the primness.
