All my rats sold at the last auction or private treaty last fall after the September sale. I have a poor coyote and a couple dozen coons left over. I don't know if not all their fur is offered or not but with 70K of coons either they never received many or they are not putting all in this sale. We hear all these rumors about the multitude of coon waiting for an uptick but 70K is really not much fur even if much of it is lower end goods.

Fur buyers from the US aren’t able to travel to Canada for the auction. Canadian border is still closed. The auction is on line. Buyers can sit in their air conditioned office and bid. Or they could at their booth at the convention and bid!!

I thiought they could travel to Canada now, but have to quarantine for either two or three weeks once they cross the border before they can go anywhere. I'm not sure what kind of quarantine facilities they have to stay in, but heard it was real strict.

Sigh. I sent FHA an e-mail a couple of weeks ago about helping me set up an account (first time shipper to them) but have gotten no response. I'll try again tomorrow but I'm not optimistic about being able to see how my skins graded before this auction. I'll probably get a check for a few bucks in August and maybe some detailed paper work of what sold and what it was graded by what, November...?

Sounds like Burgess Seed company...

Even if buyers can travel to Canada, who wants to quarantine for 2-3 weeks. Stuck in hotel or someplace. Can’t go out. Not an efficient way to spend your time, even if it is off season for buying.

I think Canadian buyers are being allowed in for in person inspection on a limited basis. Auction will be totally on line.

Even if you have an online account, you won’t be able to see your grades until just before the auction starts. Probably the 17th or 18th. Shipper accounts are updated all at once, not species by species.

The focus right now is getting the catalog ready for buyers. That requires taking photographs and getting everything ready to go.

Patience.

LOL. Not even sure the fur I took to a pick up in February made it to Canada. Even before covid their customer service was awful. At least they got an excuse this year. But of course they are doing me a favor for even selling fur,

Most marten don't die for giggles. They will see more marten when they figure out how to get reasonable prices for the year 2022. Ten years of real inflation mean marten have to get into the $100 range to be attractive. In the last ten years nothing has gotten cheaper and marten shouldn't.

What is this; FHA has hired Giggles the Clown, to bring in the marten.
Now shivery me timbers, that will take it all.

Yes dirt a 100$ average is the cost for most to chase marten at a returnable amount of return.

What no price predictions? Not even price trend direction? Have we lost hope? I suppose a battering in last 18 months has interest softened to submission.

Fingers crossed for FHA! (With selfish motives)

The roaring 20's are right around the corner and we will see a substantial upturn for our wild fur. I don't see us getting there this summer though.

Increases in fur prices tend to always rise slower than the drops. We're at the bottom of the bucket now so it will take some time for us to hit the levels we all want to see for our hard work.

I have a friend who's been shipping there for 2 years now. They have sent him a couple of checks already but never have set him up to log in online for his account yet. He has tried to call and sent emails but to no avail.

I predicted a 8 year slump in prices before we started increasing prices again. It has been about 8 years since 2014. Similar pattern from '97 to ' 05 However, the change in that time period came from expanding into new markets of Russia and China. Not expanding into new markets anymore? China appears to be able to control prices these days and will work hard to keep them low.
