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. sure its not you need,not we need?

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? My receiving agent is keeping me updated privately on the situation and estimated value of my product.

I don't deal directly with nafa. Or the fha or any other big auction house. Infact I never plan to. But I will ask this of the angry mob. (Hope there is a serious answer.) what effect do you think this will have with the association sales and country buyers. With a major auction house shutting the doors on wild fur. Then things could take an interesting turn. There are other outlets and places to sell. However this can't bode well for the other fur sales and auctions. Please tell me Im wrong.
You may think before you act. The question is did you listen to your own council?

My 2 cents on NAFA the king and his jester gutted the place and split. Are you speaking of Herman Jansen ? w

Another thing.....
What happens if November 1st comes, and no check in the mailbox...…
If some trapper or fur buyer were to drive to the NAFA headquarters, would they be issued their GOOD check at the NAFA office in person??? 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. w I'd leave Gibb of your list. He was never a believer IMHO. He'll be back at FHA shortly with a sit-rep.

Alright...enough silliness.
If we look at this in terms of "retrenchment" for the industry as a whole, it might have a stabilizing effect and strengthen wild fur markets down the road.

You’re right to a certain extent that the excess fur NAFA absorbed and held will need to find new homes. However, the demand for wild fur hasn’t changed because one auction house isn’t selling. Those buyers will move to FHA, local sales and agents to fill their quotas.

Does fha give advances ? Probly not, dont know Who contact, might be best deal with other option, not lot options, unless u want to pay lots shipping or drive long distances. For less money, gfw, is likely only best option, I don't know nothing About fha. Other than small offerings compare to nafa, never try them but there posted sale results are way less than nafa prices

An since the over all wild fur market Is In the crapper Those other selling venues better have some major storage facilities. Maybe FHA can rent NAFAs Facility In Toronto.

You know the mink ranchers just bankrupted two auction companies by flooding the market. It appears trappers want to do this to the last one. Take a year off!

FHA is in good shape,they will be in a great position in the next year or two when the market takes off again.

Perspective is an interesting subject. Some see a situation as a problem. Others see an opportunity. The bankers in canada.....with buildings full of market researchers.......think the reward isn't worth the risk. Life is about change. I wouldn't wait till the end of the season looking to hit a fur marketing home run this season. Outlets will probably fill quicker this season.
