I buy antlers and find that people really put value in the memories attached to the antler. When I buy an antler, I can cut it up and resell it in a heartbeat, when it comes to cutting up an antler I have found or I found with my kids, its alot harder! I would say get what you can for your antlers but be realistic, if you're ready to sell, you have to look at them as a piece of bone and go from there. I'm paying like $4-$10 per pound($12 for the best brown) but that is the going rate here (Oregon) other places you may get more (up to $15) or less ($10) but I wouldn't take less than $10 for brown elk with the current demand. Deer prices are less than elk in places. White can be very subjective, people will grade with two grades (hard white and chalk) or 3 grades (#2, #3 and chalk) or even more grades and it is all a matter of opinion. It is tough to be an antler buyer at times, its all a judgement call, just find a guy who is honest (that is sometimes tricky, some antler buyers can be sleazy) and will do his best to give you a fair shake. Good luck!
