Anybody know the order of sale? Most likely catalog order. I believe beaver is first thing up.

Wissmiss, Are you a registered buyer and able to view the sale? Yes. However, I am not able to share information with any one. The bidding is confidential and not to be shared. Not worth losing my buyer account at FHA. Sorry.

The bidding is confidential...? Is this something with this expedient virtual sale or something that FHA does on a regular basis?? How then does a seller even know there's bidding going and its not FHA's version of NAFA's "private treaty" sales...?

Not worth losing my buyer account at FHA. Sorry. Thanks, I figured you were. and didn't expect you to be sharing of bidding during the sale. But I am curious as a new shipper what to expect for updates. Does FHA update trapper account pages during the sale, or as each species catalog is completed, or does that all come after the sale is complete?

As far as I know, this is the first online auction they have had. Not many other choices with the flu shutting everything down. Manufactures needed products, I am told, and want some way of buying. That is the best they can do, so lets hope things sell well. I doubt you will find out much on prices till after the sale, because it will be in a format more like ebay, where it can be bid on up till a certain date and time. Please be patient, as there is a lot riding on this sale, and with the success of other internet sales, this could be our best shot with the cards that have been delt this season with this kung flu. Good luck everyone!

When is sale. It was postpone I understood. Nobody knows. That's the thing. It's like surprise sale. Nobody knows it's happening until it already happened and nobody knows what the bids are until after the sale. It could be this week it could be next month

AkMike makes a very good point about buyer confidence in the grade. There was a point in time, many years ago, where you could buy goods at FHA sight unseen based on the catalog description. In more recent years, that has not always been the case.
When it comes to the more expensive goods, such as wolves, wolverine, better lynxcats, there is good reason to be cautious. However, on goods such as Section III goods or goods like beaver. Muskrat, Raccoon, where the market is so poor, a buyer can almost afford to gamble on submitting a bid without seeing the goods.

Thank you Wissmiss and Lee Steinmeyer once again. You are both constant sources of info. based on logic and reason and first hand sourcing. You spare us the shooting from the hip that is all too common on this forum and a waste of cyberspace and all of our time. Please continue.
