updating there computor system to online bidding / live auction would attract alot more buyers ...

I believe you're right on the money there Wallfur.

even a streaming on youtube during the auction would be nice for us to follow
Is that not too much to ask ?

or would it exceed the band-width of their net provider

Don't be such a Karen. Its just smoke and mirrors. In the old days we used to sell fur out on the prairie.

So the online buyer puts low bids in just in case they own a whole lot more than they bargained for. Who wants to write a high six figure check today?

Ditto on this!!...... Two exclamation points<

Looks like even the Russians have the online thing figured out.

for 25 pls years its not new

I thought there was a trust issue with online buying. Especially bigger ticket items. I seem to remember nafa tried this over a decade ago and it flopped. I see advantages and disadvantages to buying online. Maybe the world has changed, but i seem to remember fha blaming the poor performance of lynxcats and marten during corona on yhe lack of in person inspection. Marten have been selling of recent, but it is the old a marten is a marten price like when the market sucked in the late 90s early 00s.

and those better marten in their storage are getting on in years so there has to be inspections. and if they are inter sorted with fresh = gong show

the online bidding was knocking some bidders out a when orders were not filled and they were upset to say the least
and poor service to fix those problems in the end result

But what a difference a year can make! 2005 I could not even get a $50 avg albeit from a fur buyer. But then the lid blew off.

CONDITIONS OF SALE

Interesting strategy to kick off the sale with wild mink and then roll into raccoon. I hope that doesn't set the tone for the rest of the auction!
