<p>[QUOTE=&quot;DragonflyWink, post: 30469, member: 111&quot;]Used to sell exotic leathers in the &#039;80s, with that distinctive pebbly texture and the deep graining, it&#039;s elephant - tough stuff.&nbsp; We had to have permits to sell a lot of the exotics, with alligator having the most stringent requirements back then (each store that stocked it needed a permit, while others fell under the corporate permits).&nbsp; As for endangered species &#039;parts&#039; being sold <i>legally</i> on the secondary market, it&#039;s probably more complicated than I could understand - do know it varies by state and some laws have been in effect for decades.&nbsp; As already noted, even though elephant hide can be legally &#039;harvested&#039; and sold, eBay doesn&#039;t allow it at all, probably due in no small part to their being based in California, which has very strict laws.</p><p><br /></p><p>~Cheryl[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
