Woke up in the middle of the night
and decided to check to see if the
FHA grades had been posted yet.

They are up, at least the muskrat catalog is.

Cheers laugh

The bidders catalog with pictures is up and working. Buyers can start bidding when ever they want. First lot closes at 7 AM eastern time on Thursday the 24th.

NOTE - only registered buyers can see the bidding catalog. The catalog with values is also posted but I’m not sure if anyone can see that catalog.

I can't believe that it took this long for someone to post. My account was updated with all the grades Monday morning at 6 am central. I have been waiting for all the "the graders hate me" and "why would you ship your fur there" posts. Those are my entertainment going into every auction. I am very happy with my grades. Might even have a couple top lots in there. Does anyone know if they are still sending out the Top Lot certificates?

Possible Top Lots
2 pelts in Raccoon lot 90161
1 pelt in Skunk lot 180001

I got one last year. So, probably. Stroked me pretty heavy about being an ambassador of the fur industry in an accompanying letter. Hence, I have nothing on this sale. smile

Does the FHA have a posted valuation amount? I never really ever looked for one. I did not look often at NAFA either. During slow or down markets valuations were typically optimistic. I don't know if those were hoped for values or realistic values. I thought my rat and mink grades were good. I had 7 early November mink that had 2 selects and only 1 11 grade. On the rats I had about a half that were in the winter grades.

Valuations are posted for buyers and their customers to see. I’m not sure if shippers can see them or not.

The problem with posting valuations is that the complaint starts right away. If they don’t post valuations for shippers to see, then the complaining doesn’t start until after the goods have been through the auction.

Right, especially with the huge paydays folks have been getting locally with Groeny, or the state sales?

I do hope that auction houses such as FHA can stay operating as the auctions do provide an option for marketing commercial fur.

Day 2 of the auction. I'm guessing we will see some updates by the end of today. I'm guessing those updates won't be very promising.... Did anyone every hear or confirm if they are selling PT after the auction concludes?

They have increased their cold storage capability.There is also another sale in June,not too far away.They could consider PT sales after the June sale depending on how it goes is my guess.

Apparently they have already been doing some PT sales. I called FHA asking them why several of my bobcat lot numbers didn't appear in the auction catalog. The answer I got was they had already sold PT and the price would be updated after the auction.

That has been my question a number of times on here. Some fur has obviously been sold, probably months ago. Is there a reason they will not update accounts till after the auction? or just their outdated accounting software? Yes, I have asked FHA and no response yet, but I know they are busy.
