Why even entertain PT on beaver? Before, during or after makes no sense in this beaver market. Makes no sense for the trapper. Who said anything about PTing beaver?

Looks like beaver numbers are up about 14,000 more than last year's March sale.
My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

What part of NO do you not understand? I'm going to give the scenario. FHA sets a minimum offering price at the Auction to start the bidding process. Nobody bids. After fur has been offered at this price and nobody bid and it did not sell, the fur is offered PT for 10% more than it was offered by Auction. How is this selling fur cheap? And how is this bad for the trapper?

Assuming your scenario is actually what happens. Seems like a win win for every one.
But if PT sales weren’t allowed, those pelts would sit there for another 3 or 9 months. Who knows what the market would do in that time. Could go up. Could go down. Could stay the same. Perhaps a bird in the hand is worth 2 in the bush.
With PT sales, buyers steal the pelt, shipper gets robbed, FH makes their commission and empties space in their warehouse. Win, lose, win. I fixed it for you, Nancy !!! w

I’m getting the popcorn out, I see this thread degrading into another FHA bashing thread. Jesh if you don’t like how FHA operates don’t send fur there . I talked this morning with the buyer that bought most of the beaver at the recent Herkimer, NY auction, and he told me he sent several hundred beaver to FHA. So I don’t understand why so many would rather sell to a middle man at local auctions that also charge a commission, than sell direct to FHA ? I agree with you Squash. I see it the same way. I wish I could have got my beaver onto the FHA sale but with no agent in our area and shipping not feasible I'm forced for now to sell via local auctions.

Have you ever listen to one of the sales . Most times there is very little bidding going on. Most fur is bought, it appears, at the minimum offering price. If there is real action, nothing ever goes PT.
