Is it possible to find the NAFA balance sheet?

No glory, just another big shot company that mostly due to bad leadership and loose financials fell flat... Woolworths, Sears, Dominion.. the list goes on... Find your own market/ buyer

many local auctions out there, work half as hard to find a buyer and you'll be fine but firstly enjoy your time outdoors!

At this point, I seriously doubt they will reissue checks by the first of November.

Did anybody miss the part about paying the consigners for 2019 and many previous years??? NAFA is a loser

Bad management?

I don't have many pelts still at NAFA but would be nice to know what they are going to do with them.
When I called NAFA office they stated that the checks would be issued at the end of the month I just hope they deliver my $9.84

This could bring rise to the latest Invasion of Canada by a large, angry mob of jilted wild fur trappers.

Everyone holding a bad check plus bad check charges could meet at the Peace Bridge in Buffalo,

Storm Canadian Customs, and March on Toronto.

Could be the start of the 2019 version of the War of 1812.

Of Course,

We'd have to face Boco's Trapper Militia consisting

of Boco, Jurassic Park, Hutchy, Gibb, Ron, and many other legends.

Mark Downey, CEO of FHA called me the other day. Told me a little story that happened back in 2013, that I had not heard before, and I see no reason not to share with the rest of my brother trappers. He said, Janson called him and ask him to stop by his office for a meeting. He went to meet him as ask, and was told that they wanted to buy FHA. Mark said, it isnt for sale. Herman said, well we'll bury you then! Short meeting, Mark got up and left!
Thats how the big shots always run things there. I quit them three years after it became nafa, because most businesses try to cater to their cliantele, but not them. It was always, they will tell you what is best for them! I for one won't miss them, but it does make a heck of a mess with the market this year because of uncertainty!

Reminds mee of the meeting of Moe Green and Michael Corleone. You don't buy me out, I buy you out!
Walleyed, I think you have to be dead to be a legend, right now their status is LEGENDARY or LIVING LEGEND.

This is a good time to ask then Lee. Can they handle the fur that will be shipped to them this year? I know back not that long ago Greg and company handled and sold a lot more coon than was sold by both companies last season. LLL

Trapping season is about to get underway and not a peep out of FHA through all of this publicly, although taking the high road is commendable. You would think they would be adding a sale date or two and giving a market forecast. Gopher Everett?

why do you think they have any loyalty to nafa customers that have snubbed them.and don't forget we aren't in a very good position in finances at the final level.

i'd be scared if they did go gung ho in this market and this nafa fiasco fresh in their memories.

New customers are not a bad deal if you can handle the work load and can make money. It's a cheap aqusition of wild fur trappers for them.

FHA is most likely accessing the situation and coming up with a plan. It would be foolish of them to make an announcement without getting their ducks in a row. I’m sure we will hear from them when the time is appropriate.

As far as adding sale dates, it isn’t as simple as picking a date. They have to consider when other auctions are (though now there are fewer auctions to work around), travel times, religious holidays (Chinese New Year is important given the current buyer pool) and other factors.

Additionally, FHA has to gear up to handle the increased volume. Space. Graders. Support Staff.

Give them time. They will figure something out.

A lot of their customers ship to both. I would see it as a way to make money but then again they will have all the fresh goods they need. I have some fur still at NAFA. I have wrote it off as lost. I really have no thought of getting any of my fur or money from the bad check back. LLL

I talked to multiple people about this it sounds like no way they can handle it unless they get more space. So It is possible but not with there current infrastructure. We need both auction houses.

NAFA is dead for now. I hope they make there bad checks right with everyone they owe. The way they are handling things with there customers. Tells the story of the true character of upper management. Good luck to all of you. Hope you get your money. Like I stated in the other thread. Plenty of other avenues and buyers out there. Just have to look and research.

Yes and spot on. Larry, I ask that question, Mark said....we're working on it! I can't add anything to that!

Where did this come from?
