Just wondering when the might become available?

Why not ask Cheryl at FHA ?

Probably not until after prompt. Which is Monday, April 6.

^^^This is why we keep Wissmiss around here. LOL

Thanks, that makes sense.

None of this makes sense. The information was available real time at NAFA. I don't need it real time, just timely. It used to be timely. They really should be able to put those sold catalogs on the website within a week after the Auction, if not even sooner.

Perhaps after the historic high sale FHA can invest in some upgrades?

I don't think it takes any investment to post the sold catalog on their website. They are not doing it for a reason. I could be wrong, but I believe registered buyers can see this right now. There could be a strategery for not posting the sold catalog after the sale? If this is to my benefit?


BTW this is on the website: " Click here to watch a video clip from the most successful wild fur auction in history." Almost as good as 2013. except rats, coon, fox, coyotes, otter.......

Better than 2013 cats and marten.

I wonder if some sales adjustments take place after a sale so they wait on those for the final sold catalogue printout? Maybe Nancy know how long of a grace period buyers are allowed to cancel a bid mistake.

Sold catalog is posted on line for the March 2026 sale.

Nuthin' to argue about then? What a drag.

Pressure works!

You mean the two of us caused the outcome?

I'll tell you a story. FHA used to not post the sold catalog on their website. We bitched about it on T-man and Wa La! it started happening. BTW it ain't prompt date!

As a general rule, once the auctioneers page leaves the stand, that lot is sold for the hammer price. You bought that lot. If you make a mistake, the time to say so is in the auction room. If you listen to the live auction, you will hear buyers say “I made a mistake”. The auctioneer takes back that lot and resells it.

I have witnessed several occasions where the buyer is in the PT room after the auction trying to give back lots that he bought. The answer has always been TS. You bought it, you own it. They will offer to resell those lots at the next auction. You are still responsible for paying the difference if it sells for less the second time.

Now, if you are a major buyer and spend LOTS of money, I’m sure they will bend the rules for you, unless it becomes a habit. FH can’t afford to upset a big buyer over one mistake. I have no idea how FH determines who gets special privileges.

Well, it was fun going over the sold cat lots. I can see that for my section of cats (B-C bellies semi to hvy western or central) prices are almost uniform in the $300-$400 range. That bodes well for my 21 cats on the June sale.

Can’t seem to find the catalog with prices included on my phone anyhow?

Look at the buyers menu.

Try a different web browser. Does not come up with Brave. Does come up with Microsoft Edge.

So Dirt absolutely none of my business but after two years of saying you need the sold catalogue posted before the last receiving date to make a decision, what decision did you make?

This year I decided to ship the left over blanket beaver from the ATA sale. They may bring near my minimums at FHA in June? I also found out they have no wolverine but pales to xxxxpale, so I don’t understand how my dark monster would do at FHA? Last year I had marten to decide as local buyer was competitive.

I like your style Dirt. These days a trapper has to look at all their options and try to make an informed decision.

Dirt - some times you can’t believe the FH color descriptions. I looked at every single wolverine picture in the March catalog. And in my opinion, there are any number of medium and dark wolverine in that catalog. I will admit I am not a wolverine expert, not even close but when the Diamond by the rump is a dark rusty brown, that is NOT a pale wolverine!!!!

After a quick glance through the March catalog, it seems to me that FH has made some adjustments to their wolverine colors.

New name - old name

Pale - dark
Extra pale - medium
Extra extra pale - pale
Extra extra extra pale - extra pale.

That is just my opinion. Take it for what it’s worth.

It has always been that way here.

Wissmiss your input is always appreciated. I’m watching the wolverine prices now as FHA has now become an option for selling wolverine with their slowly improving price levels.

Those that live in Alaska have always had that advantage of a price bubble little affected by the realities of the general fur trade. If FHA can match that sez good things about the current health of the fur trade imho.
