Yes Wissmiss coming through once again with some insight as to not just how sale is going but what is behind those results.
No embellishment or paranoia. Just the straight goods as she sees it. Keep it up Wissmiss and there are lots of us who will deal with any detractors that may appear.
On the Canadian forum we used to have a guy called "Manitoba Bow Hunter" who used to give us some pretty good insight into taxidermy goods at the sales but he has not been on in a couple of years.
As they rightly say to the military "Thank you for your service".

Carl - your PM box is full. You should think about emptying it. $14.50. OK, did a little house-keeping. Thanks Nancy! In the early sale those same beaver went for $17.50 Oh well. I think I was only offered $5 at K. Falls.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

Walleye101 - here is some info about your questions.
Let me start by saying, I’m not glued to my iPad screen 12 hours a day watching the auction. Unless it is an item I’m interested in, I check in occasionally to see what is going on. Explaining how the online auction program works is a bit complicated and I won’t even attempt it. So what I’m going to say is generalized.
As far as competitive bidding, there is some. How much I don’t know because I’m not watching the screen full time. It appears on the better raccoon there was a fair amount of competitive bidding. Not so much on the mid grades.
One extreme example of competitive bidding was on one lot, which happened to be r at her specialized. The value was $5.00. The lot sold for $51.00. This is the exception rather than the rule. I know this for a fact because I was involved in the bidding war. Unfortunately, I ran out of money before several other bidders. LOL
They are basically holding the line, within auction standards. The computer forces that. The computer isn’t capable of thinking, like a live auctioneer. A live auctioneer can look at the description of a certain lot and say that $10.00 is a fair offer for those goods, even though the valuation is $20.00. And he will sell for the $10.00 offer. I’ve seen that any number of times in a live auction room.
The computer program says, I’m told this item is worth $20.00. Therefore I will not accept the $10.00 offer. Not to say that $10.00 offer won’t be accepted in the PT room. And as we all know, no one knows what goes on in the PT room except for the 2 people in there. LOL.
I mentioned “auction standards”. Unless the lot has a shippers limit on the valuation, there is always a bit of wiggle room, whether it is on line or a live auction. That standard is 10%. It is almost automatic. If the valuation is $20.00, a bid of $18.00 is acceptable and accepted. A bid of $16.00 is not. The on line program is set up the same way. The acceptable percent varies from species to species, depending on the market for that item.
So, FH is moving product below valuation. BUT the same thing would be happening with a live auctioneer.
The on line bidding program will NOT allow a fire sale.
Hopefully that answers your questions, if not let me know.
One last comment - if you want to see competitive bidding in the one line auction, wait until Monday. Bidding on the wolverine will be nuts.

Actually things were updated a couple of times during the last auction. And a few times after with PT sales. No updates so far and no idea how they will proceed this time though.
