As competitors leave as we have already seen when Wes left, they will likely redistribute their survival tools to friends. What this means is that Jeff’s trading strategy will get even less profitable. He only has hides that have any value but most of the competitors already have at least 1/2 of a hide. Remember these all stars typically don’t get hides and know how to survive without them.

So I think it’s a long shot that Jeff will get anything of value for his hides. Alternatively if he was playing the smart long game and had handed out his extra knives and hides, then I think the other competitors would have been more willing to give him their extra gear or food.
