I intend to start a meat rabbit operation in the coming months, and I want to make use of all the byproducts associated with the animals.
If I set up in Merchants Row with a bunch of tanned skins and dehydrated organs/ears/feet (for dog treats), do you think the items would sell? Is $10/pelt and 2-treats-for-$1 a good price?
I haven't gone to an event in years, but I seem to remember SCAdians in my area loooooved their dogs, and as far as the furs, I think they could be an affordable period item.
Do I need more items than just skins and dog treats?
UPDATE: I have a local buyer now for the feet and ears, so I could focus on just pelts for Merchants Row. I like the suggestion of crafting things with the pelts for greater pay.
I just want to make some money off the byproducts of raising rabbits for food. It wouldn't be the sole source of my family's income, but it would be a way to bring in something from what would otherwise be garbage. I also plan to make blood meal and will offer it to gardeners.
Good idea, thank you! Or maybe I could link up with an armorer to use the pelts for padding underneath armor.
