They took into consideration that they thought that Saskatchewan was still all dial-up internet, so it would take 9 days for you to download info.


And here I thought it was because they knew it would take that long to sell all the crappy fur from east of Saskatchewan. Lol.

This could be the second time, in my 13 years of sending to the auction houses. That I would have done better selling in the country, Maybe?

I think anyone that sent fur to this auction should'nt judge FHA on the success of this sale. The world is in upheaval, equity markets are shot (at least for now) retail fur sales in all of Asia fell flat on their face this winter, Asia was CG's hope for market expansion this year. And, last but not least, how can you buy fur without looking at it yourself or at least through a broker you have trust in? I wish them great luck as we don't need another North American wild fur auction to fold.

LLtrapper posted "What I have been told is that it is a sale not an auction. If you were to call and offer the full price, it is yours. Greg told me there were two types of buyers on this sale. The ones who wanted fur and the Chinese and GFW. Don't kill the messenger. That is what he said. He also said the latter were getting the dial tone....No fire sale in other words. LLL"

How many people have fur marked as sold that was shipped up this year? I saw where some posted they did.

Mark, the fur marked as sold, is fur they sold PT before the current sale. Nothing will be posted till after the second of April.

For you guys that were aurguing about valuations. I spoke with Les Barnes, the old nafa agent here in Ks the other day. I mentioned that nafa must have really spoiled everyone. He ask, how so. I told him about the thread here. He said you are all blowing smoke, that nafa had quit that at least eight years ago, because it caused too much extra work and did nothing but cause controversy! So there you have it, it ain't gonna happen!

Lee, So it was sold before the auction, even though it was shipped to be put on this auction? I can see left over good being sold pt, but not stuff that has never hit the floor. So do we have a bidding auction, like ebay or a sale going on? LLtrapper says Greg said its a sale, not a auction.

That info from les is wrong, nafa put valuations on the shippers fur. You had to know where to look.

Hard to believe the amount of people that are ok with being treated like a mushroom by fha.
Your probably right about not gonna happen though.

I tried to post on this right after kingrats response, then lost it. I got better things to do than argue about it, and I will let Les know and thank him for the eroneous info. Still don't change things, Fur Harvesters ain't gonna do it just because a few guys seem to think it's so important. I've told you my opinion, you have told me yours, I'm done with it!

Ok fair enough.

I am also done here after I post one more thought.
To the folks reading this, when is the last time you sold something and had no idea what the asking price or the approximate valuation was on the item that you were trying to sell???

I trust fha to a certain point, but I prefer the trust but verifie route.
As in I trust fha but i would very much like some verification on valuation in print to make sure they really do have my best interest in mind.
After all dosen't Fha say they are owned by trappers and run by trappers??? Shouldn't they be able to do better at keeping the trapper and the owner of the fur in the loop a little better?? Or no??
Good luck trappers!!

Will the shipper ever actually know what his or her fur was valued at before the sale?

In my opinion it was foolish to let anyone know valuations on a live auction. The only one that needs to know is the auctioneer, to drop the hammer or not.

This internet sale I see the need to post it so buyers know what is the starting bid, and they will not accept any less.
