I wanted to point out a possible market for those of you raising nicely horned American Blackbelly sheep (or other horned breeds). Some folks are getting $50 to $80 for skulls by listing them on eBay.
To see current listings, go to http://www.ebay.com and type "ram skull" in the search box. Other search terms are barbado, corsican, and trophy. If you have an eBay account, you can search past listings and see what some of the skulls have sold for. Selling items on eBay is extremely easy. And shipping is easy now, too. eBay now owns PayPal. When your item sells, eBay copies the shipping information from your buyer's account and pops you into PayPal. From there, you can print the shipping label already filled out with your customer's address and pay the shipping costs via PayPal. So you don't need to even go to the Post Office to mail the box. A shipping scale, a box, and a roll of tape is all you need! eBay has plenty of on-line help to get you started. Track some of the skulls currently selling to see how people list their items, the starting price they set, and the activity that goes on. Watch and learn. And make money!
