2009 Nationals Auction

Featured Replies

I am assuming that the birds that are sold at the nationals auction are the best of the best. I mean, the buyers there are the champions of their state, plus local spectators.

 

I have never been to the nationals, in any capacity, so I am wondering what prices are like there. I figure that the birds are of top quality, so do they go for top dollar?

Tomorrow Kaz- tough decisions to make about what to put in

Dave - last year Bob Smith sold a pair for $2500, which was cheap for Bob's birds. But generally the birds average well under $1000 a pair. It really depends, last year a pair of Fallows made over $1000 and i've seen Clearwings go for similar money.

Is their a limit to how many birds you are able to sell their?

The Nationals Auction is by invitation only, and generally they ask for a pair of TOP Quality birds. This year they are also having a Sale to a top price of $200.

how does the sale work Heath?

 

 

Yeah JB not 100% sure - if you look on the BCT website they have the details there.

I would think the birds, that they have the price on,you would put your name down

& if you are the only name on that bird you pay up & its yours.If there is more then

one name,they will draw a name out of the hat & its yours.If there is any birds

that take your fancy & you cant be there ,you can get some one to put your name

down for it.You can do the same for the auction,get someone to bid ip to a price for you.

Nope but if I was, I'd be looking at the Armstrong Birds. ;)

the birds in the *For Sale* section will be sold by mean of each person getting a number, you go into the room and pick out 1 bird to get then come out, and then the next person goes in etc. and keeps going around till all birds are sold. This is how i think we decided to run it, But i probably was asleep at the meeting lol

It was the addition of Armstrong birds that has turned around all my breeding results in my birdroom for the better. And FERTILITY PLUS !!

What a buggar of an idea,you could be waiting a week, for your turn,& the bird you was interested in could

be gone & you have wasted your time,at least if you do it by draw & you only have your name on one bird & you miss out, you can go & do something else.

Don't like that Idea at all. I was going to have a go at a couple but might now give it a miss. :D

this is how i thought it was going to run, Will sort through my emails today and find the exact way it will work, Dont want to give you all the wrong idea,

 

EDIT: scrap what ive said, i cant find the email, maybe i was thinking of something else :D

Usually you put your name against the birds you want and if there is more than one name, you draw cards. The highest gets the bird.

 

I think that is fairer.
