Im from Yorkton Sk. Before this ban I heard of guys getting just about $18.00 per pound for brown ones. So even if you have a shed that is brown, but it is a few years old and the wax ring has worn off, is it still considered brown? I guess ill just wait a year or two to sell mine because I wnat to sell them to be able to afford a decent car to take me hunting! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif I get my learners in a few months then a year after that ill be driving myself to go shed hunting! http://www.realtree.com/forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif

We had a guy from Swift Current up here buying sheds a few years back but was just spying for hunting spots-caused lots of trouble was hunting on posted land we kind of run him out of the country-I can't bring myself to sell any yet.

I've sold alot of sheds the past few years, in fact I've also bought and sold alot of sheds the past few years, I've paid as much as $20 per pound for good brown sheds over 2 #'s, more for larger sheds, usually pay about $16 per pound for brown, shedhunter, even if the wax ring is gone it's still brown in my books, keep them indoors. Price has went down since the border ban, I've had trouble moving large #'s of them, people aren't willing to pay as much it seems either.

I havn't sold any since the border restrictions started.But I use to get 14-16$ U.S per lb Brown.For the larger sheds & sets cosiderably more.I will keep collecting them & putting them in my basement & will not sell until the price is right.Keep them dry,inside & out of the sun.
