Welcome to CA$H FOR FUR COAT$ Fur Recycling Program!Selling Your Fur Coat! Hi and welcome to the CA$H FOR FUR COAT$ recycling program. We are a Canadian company dedicated to RECYCLING, rather then discarding those old fur coats into our already over burden landfill sites, and so should you, it's in our nature to RECYCLE so please do! All these items we pay CA$H for are used for crafting, such as teddy bears and pillows, please view our teddy bear section to see the wonderful work these crafters do. It also employs many elderly people who love to do crafting as there hobby for extra income! CFFC has been RECYCLING fur coats for many years now, and find that people who own fur coats just don't know what to do with them, now that they are no longer popular to wear. So why not RECYCLE them, it makes complete sense and someone else will have the pleasure of doing something different and creative with that old fur coat that is just taking up space in your closet, remember we pay CA$H so all of this is good! Many people aren't able to just give these fur coats away, they consider them to be a somewhat valuable item, so thru research and help from many furriers, we have come to establish what we deem fair market value for these fur coats that hold so much adversity in the market place today, remember “something is only worth what you can sell it for.” Furs depreciate significantly each year whether they are used or not as they are biodregable product and like any animal skin it will eventually dry out and this can lead to furs worst enemy dry rot, this is where fur literally turns to paper. This is due to not being able to even finding proper cold storage as there are not the furriers around like they were once upon a time, so they end up hanging in closets drying out and becoming worthless! All prices are determined from a furriers purchased wholesale value as far back as 25 years ago as retail costs varied significantly from each furrier and were never consistent, while all wholesale purchased prices were set by the fur coat manufacturer to be the same to all furriers retailing. Some have tried to pass down their fur coats to daughters, family and even friends with no success, the general population of people today just don't want to wear them due to lifestyle changes, or the politcal controversy received from animal activists is just to much hassle to make a fur coat desireable. Often clients have an unrealistic expectation of the value of their used fur garment.This is usually due to a mistaken idea of what an insurance or furriers appraisal tells them. An appraisal on a fur garment is an estimate of the retail REPLACEMENT price. It covers the cost of a NEW item that is similar to the one you own - i.e. what it would cost to replace yours if it were stolen, lost or destroyed with a new garment of the same fur, style, length, size and quality. If any furrier says your coat is worth any amount, that you would be quite pleased in selling for, ask him for only 1/2 of it and he can then sell the fur coat for the other 1/2 and see how fast he or she removes them selves from the whole deal! An item is only worth what the market will bare and today's fur market is quite BEAR! You must keep in mind that this is an animal skin considered a biodegradable and perishable item, fur coats do not retain there value like a diamond , furniture or real estate, as they are not a commodity or even a necessity, they are considered a luxurious indulgence, and were most likely purchased at a time when you wanted to own one because they were in style. You will still need to find someone to buy your old fur coat no matter what you feel personally it should be worth, the saying goes, “something is only worth what you can sell it for!” Global warming has also played a profound part on the demise of fur coats, fur is not as important as it once was for warmth so we tend to not wear them because we find them heavy and cumbersome. We also have more modern vehicles we can remotely start from the comfort of our homes that are warmer, we park in underground parkades to get inside a heated mall, also not as many gala events to go to like days gone by, to wear those once elegant fur coats. Fur activists have made selling or buying fur almost impossible due to fear or just plain inconvenience, also there is no big demand for wearing or buying a fur coat that holds so much adversity in the market place, so RECYCLING is clearly the smart choice! We are seeing an era coming to the end due to many things, especially a generational change in societies thought of animal protection. So we are not harvesting fur no more just recycling old ones into teddy bears and pillows. Its our last attempt to remember the founding roots of this great country of Canada and North America for that matter, the fur trade has 325 years of history in North America starting with the Hudson Bay Company, well before Canada formed it's own country's dominion 142 years ago and many families survival depended on the fur trade back then.
