Ended up being an eye opener for me. Charged me $350 if I remember right and I think I gave him a tip besides. Hide shows up in the mail and it's from Moyle and they sent a price sheet. Turns out they charge half what I paid the guy. Next time if I can I'll send it to Moyle myself. Lesson learned.
Just a thought, and I'm certainly not defending them, but pretty sure Moyles only takes hides that are prepared properly, meaning fleshed, stretched and dried. If I had to flesh, stretch and dry a buffalo hide it would certainly cost you $150 to $200. I've sent a lot of stuff to Moyles and they do fantastic work, but my hides had to be prepared properly.
