So as a shipper do any of you know what your valuations are? Do you even know what lots your fur Is In?
Good luck

Thanks crosspatch. Nancy has been involved in the buying end for many years, and knows the auction protocol very well. She is a book of knowledge, and we can all thank her for sharing with us. I've been a trapper all my life, bought fur for a few years back in the boom years, and have been an agent for 22 years. Both of us can add a little different perspective to the discussion.
One thing that bothers me on this forum is the amount of people that spout the doom and gloom. The negetive comments, spouted off like a prophet, just become a cancer that effects the whole fur industry. We all know times are tough for fur, so try to have a better outlook on it! thanks, Lee

I'm a realist. I think FHA is a motivated seller. Time will tell. Sorry for the doom and gloom.

The valuations tell me where FHA thinks the market is. It tells me if FHA is a viable option. Why keep it from sellers?

Because they'd have a million calls with guys complaining that their raccoons are worth more etc. Or God forbid something sold for a dollar less than the valuation than omg fire sale. It would be nothing but a headache for them.

It would have value to me. I won't explain. Thanks to lee and wissmiss for info. It lets you know the flow. Are they holding to their numbers? Doing better than they had assessed? Why is more transparency bad. I don’t hold any ill will, I just agree with Dirt and disagree with Lee. I see why Lee thinks the way he does. I hope he can see my point. NAFA did a lot of things we didn’t know about. I’m not in the “the less you know, the better” camp. I agree with both of these posts. I have fur that will hopefully go on the next sale so yes I would like to see a valuation.

Folks that have used FHA in the past, were you able to see valuations prior to the sales? Nope

Nancy If I give you my lot numbers could you please bid them up for me? Unfortunately no. Sorry. If I do it for you, then everyone would ask and it would be overwhelming for me. In my opinion, the reason FHA doesn’t post valuations on shippers accounts is that in a down market like this, valuations upset shippers. And upset shippers tend to call and complain. This creates more work and time spent for the FHA staff. Yes, shippers are important but at this stage of the game it is more important to answer buyers questions so that they feel confident bidding.

Showing valuations would do a ton of good, it would hold Fha accountable and a lot less easy to dump something. It make the buyers know you better come to bid and be reasonable and close to the valuations. It would probably reduce the yo-yo in prices we have seen for so long. We better not hear in a couple months how groeny came in and cleaned up what was left at the auction for less then what was being paid in the country

Thank you Wissmiss and Lee Steinmeyer once again. You are both constant sources of info. based on logic and reason and first hand sourcing. You spare us the shooting from the hip that is all too common on this forum and a waste of cyberspace and all of our time. Please continue. X2
