Now I've just got to try and find some relatives in Melboure that'll put me up for the night :rofl: Wish I could meet you there but I think airfares from W.A. would be more than $150 Shame we can't ship ourselves around for the same amount it costs to transport our birds, I'm sure I could handle a few hrs in a box for cheaper airfairs, throw in a pillow Hmmm.... just looked up flights and I can get there and back for under $150, might be worth a visit. Now I've just got to try and find some relatives in Melboure that'll put me up for the night lol if you drive and can hire a car your welcome at mine lol can drive me their with you only theirs only one :yes: so may have to just go for drive I did consider driving my car down, just thought it'd be more cost effective to fly, flight costs vs petrol cost....... Still thinking about it if I do I'll let you know and pick you up on the way. I wasn't actually considering the funnily enough they're not actually a variety I was planning on focusing on it just kind of happened Also I'm hoping on approaching John Smithers for assistance with my Albinos, I'm told he has some of the best ones in NSW and he's president of my local so...... I really like lot 224 the spangle hen pictured and was wanting to get a few birds from a good bloodline to work with.

If I really want any I have a mate or two who can bid for me BUT might give it a miss this time. im giving big wide berth no way i would be able to afford any birds from their im not prepared to pay more than 150.00 on a good and i mean it want to be bloody supper albino but then if it was as good as i want it would go for more auctions are for people with money to burn and a picture of their stud in mind to better their stock with a few good birds yes you can get bargins from auctions and good birds under or around 50.00 but i dont think that will happen at melton auction i heard same as splat a lot of money tossed around their i dont have money to burn or a good stud to better as yet anyway i got to fix houseing before i get more birds im loving the watson birds :hurryup: always have Edited May 17, 201014 yr by GenericBlue
May 17, 201014 yr Author Hi Everybody, For those concerned that they will be priced out of the market, below are the results of last years auction: 268 birds sold <=$50 - 42 birds - 16% $51 - $100 - 49 birds - 18% $101 - $150 - 26 birds - 10% $151 - $200 - 30 birds - 11% $201 - $300 - 40 birds - 15% $301 - $500 - 44 birds - 16% $501 - $1000 - 22 birds - 8% $1001 - $2000 - 13 birds - 5% >$2000 - 2 birds - 1% Hope this makes sense. For the record, one third of the offering sold for $100 or less. I think the auction has something for everybody! Cheers PT Edited May 17, 201014 yr by chookbreeder9

Cheers PT so all the big breeders may just be bluffing us smaller newbeies to keep us away pt lol :rofl: i was told 350 and up i saved enough for a choise in the 44 birds sold range is their going to be a shuttle bus from citty lol pmsl m mabe next year i will get a lift in from some one this year need to fix aviry to house next years auction birds
May 17, 201014 yr I had one couple tell me $1,000.00 up I guess that was to keep me away too. I think I am going but mainly to look. Ino is going and said to start saving if I want to go. So I guess I will go but mainly for a look.. Wouldn't mind a pair of Watson birds and you never no but I doubt it. I'm like GB don't have money to burn. PLUS I am curtious about spending a heap on a bird as 2 weeks ago I lost my best hen and yesterday I lost another top hen that was important to my breeding programe, ruptured inside.

Cheers PT That's good to know, I was thinking about giving it a miss but if I do actually have a decent chance with walking away with something then it's back on the cards for sure. I'd really like to get at least 3 pairs to start a decent line with.

May 18, 201014 yr Yes there is ment to be one at Ballarat June 5th, and I was told it is a good one to go too but it says in the Budgie News for enquiries and Catalogues on the BCV website but I can't find any mention of the Ballarat Auction on there at all.

May 18, 201014 yr But the $$$$$$$$$$$$$ we better start saving. Hard with just living expenise sky rocketing urrgggg. I can't seem to keep the petro in my car, I think car is a petroholic because I can't seem to keep petrol in, it seems to be guzzling it all up. Thinking of getting it checked, but I do run around alot but when you live 48 ks from Shepparton and the same from Kyabram, 27 fro Numurkah it's not hard to guzzle it all up. I really miss living in Bendigo where everything was at my finger tips. Late night shopping, well a city of shops at that, plenty of take away shops.... 1 supermarket here, hardhware store and a couple of other little shops and the usual for a small town. We only have 1 cafe/takeaway shop here now.. But yes wouldn't mind going to Ballarat. Because I would mind another 1 or 2 Howes birds for my clearbody line.
May 19, 201014 yr Thanks for that PT. Will see you there. Splat go to a Auction and not take home a bird :bliss: I might have to put a blind fold on you when we arrive. Ino
May 19, 201014 yr Thanks for that PT.Will see you there. Splat go to a Auction and not take home a bird I might have to put a blind fold on you when we arrive. Ino But hey I nearly didn't bring one home last auction but yep it got the better of me had to come home with something and I really wished I didn't talk about compulisive that's me. BUT I am having trouble saving this time Merv so I really think I will be looking and not bidding but we will see I actually have my eye on a few :rofl: but it's the money that is the problem I really wish these auctions were in July as I get a bit money then, on the 30th of June and that is tooooooo late and that really annoying.
