Posted April 9, 201015 yr Hi Everyone, Just a quick update - I got an email from Debra Milton, advising that the Townsville auction, which was delayed due to localised cyclone conditions, is going ahead this coming Saturday (April 10th 2010), and will be held at 4 PM. There are some good birds on offer at the auction, and given the delay, and the clash with the Wynnum Redlands Auction, I certainly think it will be a buyer's market, if you're in the market for some good birds, cheap. If you're interested, Debbie Milton can be contacted on 0410 025 754, or via email on dgmiltonbirds@gmail.com - proxy bidding is available, and birds can be sent interstate. I've attached a copy of the catalogue, for anyone who's interested Townsville Auction Catalogue 2010

April 11, 201015 yr Anyone hear how it went, and Wynnum Redlands as well? and yes, welcome Troy - looking forward to your input. Cheers PT
April 13, 201015 yr Author Thanks guys - I heard it went very well, for all those involved. I know people dont like their names to be associated in the press, with the dollar amount, through fear that the tax man will hunt them down, but speaking with Gary Gazzard yesterday, he said that the top price was $4000 for a Grey cock, and that a man who had some very good birds in the auction, who's been very hot at the Nationals of late, averaged $2000 a bird.
April 13, 201015 yr The more I look at these top price birds, the more I think it is a PR stunt,all they are paying is the commission on the bird. Its a bit like some of the top price bulls. There is a cow or a heifer or 2 in the truck when they go. :rofl:
