What is a tanned Mountain Goat shoulder cape worth ?
Here's some backgound info - the cape is from an 8 year old Colorado billy, it was shot in early September, the hair on the cape is very good. There is one bald/rubbed spot above one of the upper eyelids about the size of a dime. The rubbed spot is the main reason why I would sell the cape as opposed to having the mount done. I wanted to do a shoulder pedestal, but I don't feel that the damaged area above the eye can be repaired very well and it would take away from the finished mount from my perspective. The taxidermist that processed the cape is willing to buy the cape from me. I would like to hear your opinions on what you feel is a fair price for the taxidermist to offer for the cape, taking into account that the taxidermist caped the goat and paid for the shipping/tanning of the cape.
Thanks in advance for your help,
