That is correct. It was clearly stated that online bidding would end at 6 PM eastern time on Thursday the 25th.

Not sure what technology would be required to integrate the 2 types of selling. Might be too expensive and/or compacted.

And there is no guarantee how many online bidders would be pushed farther. I know the customers I am bidding for have given me their maximum bids.

Fox is still low but the most I have seen online bids come into play this sale. See the opening bid online and they have a max set and bidding against the room.

Maybe not everyone go higher then their max but I'm sure some would. I mistakenly thought they all were run like a ritchie bros auction. It don't seem right to me but I guess that's the way it is. I now understand what you mentioned earlier.

Usually one with a lot of grey on the hips. Not good for the fur trade but the tourist trade likes them.

$7.50 for the top lot rats : HEAVY WINTER SELECTS.

I had one of those.

The rest of the rats are no-sale-ing across the board.

Brutal !!!

YUP,

Lots# 80001 thru 80004 were all in the same TOP LOT string.

That was my only rat to sell out of 234 total.

Might be a bloodbath in the private treaty room here shortly !!! shocked

I know the guy that had 2 pelts in that lot.He used to ship to NAFA,but missed the fur pick up that sale so he shipped to FHA.

That would have been back about 1985, I think. $1200 USD in 1985 is multiplied by 2.85 in today's dollars. SO, that would be an equivalent of $3420 in today's U.S. dollars, we have a ways to go for that to come back. And, it appears these levels may be the new beaver market for a few years.

It's been pretty obvious all selling season that there is very little to no interest in rats. Not sure why anyone would expect different results. They say hope is eternal so I guess there's that.

Part of why rats prices are still languishing is you can buy a similar size brown female mink at SAGA for $12-$13 USD. so there isn't much reason to look for a cheaper alternative. And a rat, even a good rat is still a rat.
