My family has been in the Exotic Hides business for four generations. I have customers who's father's and grandfather's bought from my father and grandfather. When you deal with Bud Camp, you deal with my family's reputation. We will see to it that you are satisfied!
We have sold to almost every major organization in the country. We buy in very large quantities and pass the savings on to our customers. We know that if you do not make a profit on the items we sell you, that the next time we call you will not have the money to buy. So let both make money together!
WHEN YOU MAKE ITEMS OUT OF REGULAR LEATHER (SUCH AS A BILLFOLD), THEY WILL SELL FOR A CERTAIN AMOUNT, SAY $20.00. IF THE LEATHER IN THE BILLFOLD COSTS $2.00, YOU MAKE $18.00 FOR YOUR LABOR.
IF YOU MAKE THE BILLFOLD WITH LIZARD SKIN, IT SELLS FOR $45.00. THE LIZARD COST YOU ABOUT $8.00 AND YOU MAKE $37.00 FOR YOUR LABOR. IT TAKES THE SAME AMOUNT OF LABOR NO MATER WHICH TYPE OF MATERIAL YOU USE, BUT YOUR LABOR BECOMES MUCH MORE VALUABLE WHEN YOU USE EXOTIC HIDES.
PEOPLE WANT THINGS THAT ARE SPECIAL! THAT’S WHY ITEMS MADE WITH EXOTIC SKINS SELL BETTER THAN ITEMS MADE WITH REGULAR LEATHER. EVEN REGULAR LEATHER ITEMS TRIMMED WITH EXOTICS SELL BETTER.
WE SELL EXOTIC HIDES TO THE SMALL CRAFTSMAN AT PRICES THAT HELP YOU MAKE MORE MONEY.
But as with everything in life, there are advantages and disadvantages in buying exotic hides.
EXOTIC HIDES COME FROM WILD ANIMALS. THE LARGER THE ANIMAL THE MORE AGGRESSIVE IT WILL PROBABLY BE. CROCODILES FOR EXAMPLE USE THEIR TAILS AS A WEAPON, AND WILL FREQUENTLY HAVE SCRAPES OR EVEN HOLES IN THE TAIL AREA. OSTRICH’S HAVE CLAWED FEET THAT THEY USE TO FIGHT AND THIS SOMETIMES LEADS TO WOUNDS ON THE LEGS. LARGE LIZARDS, LARGE SNAKES AND POISONOUS ONES ARE NOT EASY TO CAPTURE AND WILL SOMETIMES HAVE ARROW HOLES OR BULLET HOLES IN THE HIDE. THE NATIVES THAT TAKE THESE ANIMALS USE THEM PRIMARILY FOR FOOD (the same is true for regular leather, no one raises cows for the leather, it is the meat that is most in demand). THEY TRY TO DAMAGE THEM AS LITTLE AS POSSIBLE, BUT THEIR FIRST PRIORITY IS TO PROTECT THEMSELVES.
Another thing to consider is the differences in hides.
MY GRANDFATHER TAUGHT ME THIS BUSINESS, BACK WHEN WE SOLD MOSTLY COW-HIDES WITH SOME GOAT AND PIG SKINS THROWN IN. HE TOLD ME THAT THE PROBLEM WITH LEATHER WAS THAT THERE WAS NO SUCH THING AS A STANDARD COW. EVERY COW WAS DIFFERENT SO EVERY PIECE OF LEATHER WAS ALSO DIFFERENT. THE SAME APPLIES TO EXOTIC LEATHERS. EVERY HIDE IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT IN SIZE AND COLOR. THEY WILL BE THE SAME COLOR (dyed in the same vats), BUT NOT EXACTLY THE SAME. THE PHOTO OF THE ITEMS I HAVE FOR SALE MAY NOT BE EXACTLY THE SAME AS THE ONE YOU GET, SINCE I DO NOT TAKE PHOTOS OF EACH AND EVERY SKIN, BUT I DO TRY TO GET ONE THAT IS REPRESENTATIVE. If have a very specific need for your hide, please contact me in advance and I will look over my inventory and see if I can fill your order.
THERE IS NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECT HIDE. JUST LOOK AT YOUR OWN IF YOU DON'T BELIEVE THAT. YOU WILL FIND THAT SCARS, SCABS, AND BLEMISHES OF ALL KINDS ABOUND.
I hope this will give you a bit more information to help you select what is best for you. But if you still have questions, or have special needs do not hesitate to call or E-Mail me.

Shipping/Handling Policy: We generally Ship Items With In One Business Day of Receiving Payment.
All domestic shipping and handling is charged at $10.50 per regular order Plus $4.50 for Insurance.
World Wide Shipping is $15.50 and 6.50 for Insurance. So the more items you order, the less each item costs you for shipping.
Return Policy:
I prefer to give you enough information before you buy that you do not need to return an item. However, since we want you to make money, we realize that there is no use for an item you ordered from us setting on your shelf collecting dust. It is better for both of us if you return that item, and exchange it for something that can make you money. You pay only the extra shipping: we have no re-stocking fee! We will resell that item to someone else who will make a profit on it. We have found over the years that this works out well for everyone.
