Polar bear has been sold for more than $15K The Inuit still sell these in Canada - in Canada the Aboriginals are allowed to kill whatever they like, and they can sell it for profit and do, but sale is restricted through a government monitored company. Canada has a long tradition of private companies with government approved exclusive harvesting contracts. This creates a bottleneck in the industry through which all of the furs must flow so the government can monitor and control the harvests. Commercial fur buyers must buy these furs at auction before producing a final retail product. For example, here's a full bear rug for $10K https://www.furcanada.com/product/polar-bear-skin-rugs/ Wholesale you can often get one for much cheaper than that, and price can vary wildly from year to year. Each year they sell about 500 polar furs for the whole year. However, probably due to covid - right now they are having trouble selling them for $5k. https://nunatsiaq.com/stories/article/unsellable-polar-bear-hides-travel-back-from-auction-house-to-nunavut/ It's a really good time to buy. These are banned in the US and Mexico - but I think available in most other countries.
