    oh wow man, that's a gaylord tote! It's already gone from $9.99 to $455.00, and still has almost 8 days left. Do you think it'll go flat now, or through the roof? (i'm going to guess mostly the latter ; )

    sometimes they'll lay flat until the last few minutes, and then shoot through the roof. Then again, sometimes they'll go sky high early, and then end rather flat

    I got $5 lb for caribou antlers last year selling to a middle man. Picked up about 25 more lbs on a recent hike but haven't yet taken them in. It's awesome when a day trip pays for itself.

    Antlers go for around 6-10 dollars a pound. thats for the smaller ones. If you can get some nice symetrical antlers then you can make alot more selling them on ebay. Alot of people use thes for crafts or they can go over seas and become eastern medicine.
