The furs were relatively nice looking, and of solid quality.  There was just one problem.  Yifa wasn't supposed to be able to speak their language.  Unless the merchant somehow knew Old Realm or High Realm, she was stuck.  Unless...most traders, regardless of location, spoke Riverspeak, the common language in the Scavenger Lands, where Lookshy was.  Shopkeepers all over Creation knew Riverspeak, so if she knew that, then she'd be in luck...probably.
