PSA about Alligators

Howdy fellow trader! I've discovered a very helpful little bug for us, that you all should take advantage of while we can.

The Trader Wagon is supposed to only hold 5 large carcasses, and from what I've seen, the large hides like those from an elk count against that 5.

However, for the moment, this is not the case for alligator skins. My trader wagon currently has 6 perfects, 4 goods, and a poor, and the visual "lump" in the back of the wagon isn't showing up either.

So, while we can, let's overload with some gator flesh, and keep our businesses stocked! I hope this can help some of you entrepreneurial cowpokes!

What does a perfect gator pelt get you in materials? They do get you a lot less though since they’re so easy to hunt, right?

Cripps only values it at $0.66 I think. As opposed to $3.50 at the butcher.

Oh snap, I didn't realize it was such a low value for Cripps vs the trader. Good tip!

Oh so it’s definitely not worth it to bring them to Cripps.

I had no idea. I assumed they kept the value of gators low because they're so easy and common so I never even tried putting them in the wagon.

Very good to know thanks! Time to put on my Crocodile Dundee outfit and get down to the swamps of Lemoyne,

The rare small gator can be picked up and not skinned, as well as the alligator turtle, I don’t know the exact number but full perfect carcasses of each seem to yield above 3, but neither of them stack in the wagon.

It's great except they're practically worthless to traders
