So how much are sheds really worth ?
I hear of all these storys of guys getting thousands and thousands of dollars for these big sheds they find... I figure some of you guys on this forum know the true facts. What does a matched pair of sheds go for that score, lets say 180", typical 10 point ? Now, I don't have any sheds close to something like this, but I'm just curious, what does it take to get a massive amount of money for ? Do they have to be 200" before you start talking $10,000 ?

A friend of mine is an avid collector and he pays between $400 and $600 for 180 typical matched sheds.

I do know the man who's website Danny and I just built
(http://www.northernwhitetaillamps.com) says he will travel to buy sheds.
I told him about the "Great Iowa Antler Auction" and he was going to head there to get some sheds.
It's actually this weekend. So I'm curious what he's going to come home with.

I guess I was thinking they would be worth more than that..... So, I guess if I'm lucky enough to ever find a matching set of 180" sheds, I might just have to mount it.

Here is an interesting blog from Field and Stream about a recent shed auction. Not much about determining value of antlers just highlights that they are crazy expensive. The set in the picture went for $3,300 because of the strange growth on it.

Sheds are only worth as much as someone is willing to pay. I know a Guy who traded 2 $300 trail came for one single antler worth maybe half that simply because he had a dozen sheds off the buck already.
