Furscouter.eu advice: If you trade your furs, be sure to get a receipt!
Are you planning to sell your furs? Then it's absolutely essential for the potential buyer to give you a receipt for any items you wish to sell.
Good quality furs have a high value, which will be carefully documented in any legitimate trade between a private owner and a reputable business. Such transactions should always use a standardised form of receipt, not any form of document unique to the trader or his place of sale.
Naturally, Furscouter.eu always adhere to this strict rule. As a reputable family business, anyone sending or bringing furs to us will always receive the correct legal paperwork to acknowledge the completion of any sale. Our document records full details of the sale, including the sale price of your fur.
Furscouter.eu allocate a unique number for each purchased item which will also appear on the sales documents. As long-established fur traders, this means we can always track any item we have purchased and say by whom it was bought, and at what price.
Nevertheless, unscrupulous fur traders often fail to observe the established procedures which apply to normal business transactions. Furscouter.eu often hear about such questionable establishments from its own prospective customers who detail how some dealers have acquired fur products from them without receipts or any other acknowledgement of the transaction.

So please take care to look after your own interests by ensuring that all relevant sales documents are ready and available to exchange, before you part with your furs.
As a seller, you should obtain a receipt containing a valid serial number from your purchaser. This is just sensible good practice which supports legally sound methods of trading quality furs. You can then conclude your sale with a clear conscience knowing you have covered everything legally required to protect you and your business partner.
