Before this down turn in copper prices those were worth 1.25 cents US$. and you can sell them as scrap below the 49th

Well maybe today is the day? I mean its only been 5 days now....

If you're just killing time before the results become available may I suggest you join my newly established Trapperman Book Club?

Coulda read a huge book by now. Anyway what u going on bout. (Bookclub)

Wissmiss notice any movement on the private treaty stuff especially better western coyotes?

Haven’t checked. Probably too early for much action. Sales MIGHT happen once buyers have a chance to figure out what they still need, if anything.

One issue right now is getting the goods they already bought. Buyers in Canada might be ok as far as delivery of goods go. Not sure about China or Greece or South Korea or any of those fur dressing hot spots.

I know for US buyers, they might be in for a wait, with the borders being closed and all. The FHA staff has a customs broker working in it. But it is too early after the sale to expect much to happen.

Ahh I suppose. Still waiting to see if i sold anything from the first go around.

I’m sure shipper results will be posted as soon as possible. I know it is tough waiting. Hang in there.

Might have missed it but did they give a prompt date yet?

I’ve seen 2 different prompt dates.

Invoice to buyers for goods bought say. 17 April 2020.

Saw an email from FH that says 23 April 2020

Either way, at least 10 days out.

BTW - I did my part as a buyer. I paid my invoice yesterday.

My prices are posted....50 % clearance

Prices down on what sold but it was not a fire sale.

You know I think FHA is deserving a huge Thanks from us for trying against all odds to facilitate a sale that would put some money in the hands of the trapper and I for one am grateful to them for all their efforts! In the same breath i am a bit confused over a .50 coon i hand picked every coon i killed and thought that perhaps 5.00 was the lowest coon i had but you have to stand back and look at a buyer on his computer looking at a grade and valuation while never seeing the skin or facing competition and taking a chance sight unseen on that lot, not a great situation to be in as a buyer or seller however i thank Furharvesters with all my heart for their valiant attempt at sustaining this obviously dying industry. Unfortunately I don't believe that the fur industry;s heart has many more beats left in it but man what a glorious Life it has given me!!

I see where a few sold. I had mostly rats & coyotes. 3.90 for the avg rat & 49.00 for coyote. Top coyote was 100.00 and top rat 6.00. Not great but I'm sure not going to complain.

I am also thankful for all the work FHA did to hold the sale. I had 3 3x xdk's bring $56 each and a nice 3x black $66. I am happy they held the line on most of the slights.

What per cent coon, rat, mink an beaver sold, an section an price ? My rats sold slightly less in country than auction if $3.90 rat, 11per cent commision minus, plus freight fee I just thought of, same price country 6 wks ago, got more than that in dec

I am pleased with the results of the FHA Auction considering the circumstances. My well handled crusty southern beaver averaged $12.50. As a first time FHA shipper I could see myself utilizing them as an outlet again in the future. I hope you all did ok on your fur at the auction also.

I will check later but as of now no coon sold and only 27 of my couple hundred rats. I had 19 3xl-2xl 11 grades sell for $3.90 and a small lot of 3xl-lge sell for $2.90. All my heavier rats did not sell or my smaller ones either.

Only 38% of my coyotes sold, the lowest valued ones and none of my fox.

I’m very pleased considering the circumstances. My eastern coyotes averaged 108us, and 18.50 on the few coon I sent in. Also my big bear was bought by a t-man member again this year at a very respectable price. I think it would of been a heck of a sale if things had of went as planned. This is the most I’ve ever averaged for my coyotes, especially with the exchange. Cats never moved but I expected that.
Hats off to FHA!
