NAFA sale 2016
« on: May 28, 2016, 01:59:22 PM »
 Any predictions for the sale starting tomorrow? I have rats and mink up for bid. Beaver on Tuesday. I predict:
Rats- $2.50
Mink- $8.00
Beaver- $9.00

 Kept all my other furs. Couldn't handle giving them away.

 We cut way back on the rats and mink. In the auction we have 119 rats, 3 mink, and 22 beavers. Kept all our cats, otters, skunks, and 5 big mink. The grading seemed pretty harsh this year. My son did his best job ever with the rats by far and I don't think it showed.

I think you are a little high,
$2 rats
$8 beaver
$4 mink
I hope I am wrong!

I read where FHA offered 20,000 top end coyotes and they basically flopped.
Coyote was the one thing was supposed to be demand for.

 Can't decide if I want to get up early enough to watch it or not. It says the sale starts at 7:30 so I'm thinking that's eastern time. Awful early to start the day with depressing news.

On the NAFA site. My wife and son like to watch and listen. I just like to see the lots sell as they are won. Both are entertaining when prices are good.

 Had to check. My sons top rats went for $3.60. Going down fast! Ugh. Watching the otters go now. Pretty ugly. I'm glad I kept all mine.

George Brady said there was zero interest in otters at the Helsinki sale. Apparently nobody even bothered  to inspect them.
Hard to understand for me because IMO they are about the nicest fur there is.
Mine are all getting tanned.

Why do you think they weren't even checking them out?

If they weren't going to bid  why bother checking them out.

Well you hit the rats right for us. $2 average. However we did get a $7 avg for mink and $10 for beaver. Only 1 beaver didn't sell and it was the best grade fur of them all. Can't figure that.  :dunno:
