How to value Taxidermy

Many schools of thought abound in relation to this subject. Mostly there appears to be the focus on taxidermy as a means to earning profit. Given in our opinion the dealers days are numbered with the advent of taxidermists providing their services on-line and on line auction sites have eroded this margin also. Therefore it will not be long before “dealers” have in fact very little to deal or the margin in such that the effort, time and expense will not be as rewarding as it may have been [previously. In our view you need to be able to add value. We are opinion neutral as to this development, we neither celebrate or morn their passing.

Going forward we feel that this sector will continue to be fragmented, in terms of attributable value. The more people that participate in collecting and exchanging such items will add further uncertainty to the process. Interestingly enough we are seeing increasingly collectors buying direct from auction houses and other internet sources and we feel that this will be the benchmark / blueprint for future transaction.
