Yes I received this memo today as many NAFA/WFCS did I am sure.
I want to thank Paul for helping keep this issue on the forum and up to date. Whether one ships fur there or not or does not like the auction house or houses and or system it is a critically important aspect of the USA ranch and fur industry and we all have stakes in the ending outcome(s). For many it seems this good, bad or ugly situation is all about ranch fur, which from a numbers and revenue stream it most assuredly is, but as a shipper of wild fur I have benefited from having local pickup and drop off places that keep my costs low and my options more flexible. With so many disappointed in how this situation has unfolded and may play out it may well be a good time for more state organizations to start some auctions to see if more new buyers want to enter into the game. Not really a bad time to start when one can start with limited cash or leverage and somewhat lower risks of downside movement. $20,000 buys a lot more WI wild fur than it did 5 years ago

Has anybody had any problem with the reissued checks. The original checks bounced. I have four accounts worth of reissued checks. I have not had time to deposit my checks. All the new checks are just copies of the old checks. My bank says they are good checks and they will be honored just like the old ones. Problem is, I was charged a fee for the check bouncing.

The guy on the phone told me to send in a copy of the receipts showing a charge and they would cover that as well. Luckily I didn't get a charge, but I also havent got a new check either...

From their website

Quote
Saga Furs Oyj is a full service auction house with the broadest selection of superior furs from strictly regulated European sources. Our efforts focus on supporting sustainable sources of European fur sold at four international auctions each year, and then marketing Saga® Mink, Fox and Finnraccoon on a global scale.


Wild fur is not quite their thing, but then one could argue that it wasn't quite NAFA's thing either. wink

Soo looking over their website I don't see any talk about wild fur. I'm assuming NAFA is still accepting fur for future actions correct? Anybody heard which auction house will be selling what? SAGA farm furs and NAFA wild furs maybe?

Fellas at this time, you would have to be brain dead to send any fur to NAFA. I just talked to Brian at NAFA and he was not sounding to happy. I would really be skeptical about sending one pelt to Nafa, until some of us dealers , at least get our money from NAFA. It really don't look good at this time. Unless SAGA can say they will be interested in handling wild fur, I would not send anything to NAFA. I have enough fur at NAFA left to sell and they now owe me enough money, that they will have to prove to me they are fluid once again. Things do not look good at NAFA fellas.

Beav, Boco and BBWI aren't the least bit skeptical.

Thank you Don on your insight. Good advice from a seasoned and well respected fur buyer. Who still is in business today buying and selling fur.

As I see, NAFA was for some country buyers the market and for some the competition. I would think a buyer who sticks his neck out to start paying last year prices this Fall might not be around come Fall 2021.
