The purpose of the research was to analyse sales results of domestic mink furs at the following auction houses: Kopenhagen Fur, Finnish Fur Sales and North American Fur Auctions.
The animals were raised on two breeding farms during three auction seasons: 2006/2007, 2007/2008 and 2008/2009. Sales of particular colour varieties were influenced by season, auction house and farm. The most profitable male furs were mahogany, black cross, brown cross, black in the season 2006/2007, black, scanblack, silverblue, brown cross and black cross in the season 2007/2008 and pastel and black in the season 2008/2009. The average price paid for a particular colour type was influenced by auction house. Interestingly, furs offered most frequently by Polish breeders were not always popular with buyers at auctions. In the study period, the disparity between the average prices of Polish and international furs was observed.
