Default Predictions for FHA Auction

Just for Sharts and giggles. How do you think the FHA auction will go?

I predict 100 percent sale on quality western heavy kiyutes and no sale or very cheap on lo IIs and junk.

I think the prettiest of the Easterns will command a good wholesome western price but the X-darks gonna be economical. BUYER BEWARE!!! EASTERN AB NOTHING LIKE WESTERN AB!!! To see the resemblance from Western AB to Eastern AB, definitely bring your old cardboard 3D glasses and have a bunch on whiskey, like LOTS...

USA trapper sales kinda lackluster but quality USA stuff selling but poopy 💩 stuff nobody want. Only two guys in the universe not mind buying yucky💩 poopie kiyutes and for big money!

GO ____!!!

GO _____!!!

My prediction is Asian bottom feeders will pick up most of the low grade pelts at very low $$ prices just like last years on-line auction. They will leave the higher quality, reserve price pelts, as do not trust brokers to spend their money. I believe the summer sale may be a proper auction with vaccines and border open.

I’m a lot more optimistic this year than I was last but that Rona is still throwing a wrench in the works. IMO we’ve seen the bottom and things will steadily improve from last year. Maybe even a POP but I think that it might be too soon for this auction.

I’m going to predict 100% clearances on Western Heavy coyotes with a price increase of 10% on better quality fur. Last year I got between $55 - $75 for my DGD pelts so expecting an increase on that isn’t likely.

Muskrat 100% clearances with higher prices. Beaver higher clearances than last auction but prices will stay close to the same. Close to no demand for red fox still. I don’t follow class A critters or marten so I wouldn’t know.

I’m going to say “Good prices with high volume” but what I really think is “Better prices on higher volume”.

Fun stuff......time will tell.
