Cool video, maybe in May you could show us more bundles of the fur on the grading table to maybe see the difference in region grades. Also find the suggestion box and tell them to not start private treaty sales until after the spring auction, maybe that will make the buyers bid when lot is on the block. Instead of going back 10-12 lots and haggling over it every 2 minutes. This auction IMO had now flow to it, it was like they were price checking at Wal-mart.
It's your story, tell it how you want me to believe it

Thanks for the video. Keep up the good work , hope your martin were top lot. I think that Jim's martin got out of their cages and flew around in the building. So they must have been "Top Rafters" Sure glad they fixed their glitch with the feed after the second day with all the delays in the feed time. The two gentlemen in the front of you sure took a lot of notes during the marten and fisher auction.

Very nicely done. Just like being there. Except you didn't show the chaos in the inspection area that happens before the auction starts. Nancy I purposely avoid showing that as most buyers do not want to be shown on camera. On the May sale I will have Phil do an inspection of goods to show trappers, I know he will help me with that. He just had his knee replaced so I was not able to really give a detailed example. Jim

What was Mark doing there Jim,buying or selling,lol.He didn't look too happy you were filming him. He was worried about the marten prices and clearances, he gambled big time last year holding back all their best and biggest marten and the market has dropped more than 25%. I would not want to be in his shoes this coming sale in Helsinki. It is common for someone to come from the other auction houses to mark the catalogue, the fellow he is sitting beside is from SAGA one of their auctioneers Kevin, one of the main auctioneers from Kopenhagen was also at the sale. Too understand this each auction house marks the prices from the other so that they know how to better evaluate the goods. each lot has an estimated value marked in the auctioneers catalogue. The evaluation marks are based on what you sold for last sale, what your competitor sold comparable goods for and what direction the fur market is going. Either up or down. Let all hope the prices go up in Helsinki!!!!

The biggest and best just sold at NAFA for about what Mark turned down last year. I should know, they were my marten. Smalls and semis are headed south of the year 2000.

I'm in no hurry. They can hold them another year, if they want. No different than all the guys storing them in their freezers.
