Jurassic Park - so you would like to see FHA have say 4 sales a year. One every three months. Those are the only times of the year buyers can buy goods. Right??
How would you like to be able to only go to the grocery store or gas station or other retail establishment once every 3 months?? You have to buy everything you need for the next 3 months. Milk, bread, alcohol, cigarettes, whatever. No shopping what so ever, not even on line, between those 4 yearly trips. Would that work for you and your family????
I suppose for some folks in Canada and Alaska, this is what they do normally, a way of life for them. But in the lower 48 I’m thinking that a lot of folks, including members on Tman, go to the grocery store at least once a week, if not more often. I doubt they could survive going only 4 times a year.
Go ahead and tell me that isn’t a fair comparison. I think it is a very fair comparison.
Fire away................ It’s not a fair comparison. An auction is an event. And when the shows over, it’s over. See you in 4 months! I’ve gone to Livestock auctions. If I showed up the next day, I would be staring at mud. I’ve gone to vehicle auctions and if I showed up the next day, I would be staring at an empty parking lot. The way it should be.
Cold as ice!

Yea, I suppose BOCO's buddy the prince wouldn't consider the oldest industry in North America essential business. I say keep those disease infected Chinamen out of my backyard. All you money hungry money grubbers can wait. Everything is on hold. Remember what yo mamma told ya'll-"patience is a virtue" Hard for the Me Me Now Now generation to grasp.

Never liked the PT sales. An auction should be competitive or it is not an auction.
Chris So an auction is supposed to be competitive?? So FHA is selling muskrats. The auction stand opens the bidding at $4.00, which presumably the value they have on that lot. A buyer raises his hand and the auctioneer takes his bid at $4.00. . No one else bids. After several attempts to get more bids, the auctioneer says SOLD and the hammer drops. Is that competitive??? Not in my opinion. To me, competition is having 2 or more buyers “compete” for the goods. That would be a demand issue imho, as long as there is more then one buyer in the room.

Saga’s last sale was much better than the previous. With the world rapidly recovering. Even with an online sale, hopefully it will be better than August’s.
It should be Why? It is a trust issue. if you want to know why I say this( you may not) because the long time furbuyer (I know) told me ( not that he had to) the fur business is the most crooked business he knew of. I'm going with that!

Kopenhagen sale next weekend. Over a couple million ranch mink to hit the market. It will be an online sale.
From what I heard is it was a good selling season around the world. Even the Russians may buy some.

Perhaps most of the buyers wont bid because they know they can buy them cheaper in the pt room in a few hours so why get into a bidding war and drive prices up on the floor. Its same as buying the best bears before they hit the auction and than paying fair market value, who knows what they would have gotten bid up to. Nafa did that to me several times and it made my blood boil, and only always on my very best bears.

Someone remembers that sale LLtrapper, did you get stung out of that one.?
Numbered company's sure do hide for the uninformed and to get share holders names in Ontario is like looking for hens teeth in a pig trough. Yes. Lessons in blood are not often forgotten. LLL

I trust FHA to stay in buisness for the trappers and they have done a good job moving fur thru the pipeline during times of no demand. The trouble with trying to compare apples to apples in the fur trade is that things change both directions in the span of a month or two. Like any other commodity trading, timing is key and cannot be determined 100% without a crystal ball.

I always got good money for well handled larger sized spring bears.They were wanted handled for full mount taxiderm or rugs and the end user was in Germany. I sold to Gordon Gray at the NW company in North Bay.
Nicely furred smaller bears brought decent money,I suppose the busby hat buyer from England scooped up those. The auction house used to market our galls and claws from the hair bears until Ontario outlawed that in the mid 80's. Used to be profitable taking bears in the spring back in the day considering the profits to be had from the hides,and the galls,and the good supply of meat for the larder. I still get a craving for a big bowl of smoked bear ribs and a cold molson when watching the leafs.
