Of course, then you need to start haggling. Perhaps a slight (10-20%) premium on the base price to cancel out dealing in small amounts? That might put you back at the prices above. You'd probably see a little less if trading in small quantities, but since the trader is specifically interested in furs, assume a higher than normal demand. That would give you an approximate base price when trading of: Halving the quantities quoted above as well would mean approximately 25 fox skins, 30 lynx, 4-6 bear, 20-30 beavers, or 5 buffalo (or elk, or similar large herd animal). So, at 80 lbs, that would five "pieces" per a GAZ9 "load" so the Minrothad fur/hide bundle would be forty pounds at a base price of 15gp.
