Another Season

What in the fuck is selling for 300 a piece? I can only see the ticker with the lot number and how much it sold for.

[assateague]

Well, if they're only getting $240 for them, it'd be too much of a pain to skin, probably. Unless you lived near a nursing home.

[assateague]

Holy hell, just got $310 for silver fox.

That's still the silver fox.

Any other sites you know of broadcast this?

[assateague]

You can't see anything, it's just a screen with the lot number and a bunch of Chinese writing on it, with the grade/type of animal/and other features on it. The auctioneer sounds like he's straight off the boat from Australia.

How do I know what is being sold? I just see the lot number and the price. I don't hear anything.

[assateague]

I think you need the login. Hold on, I'll shoot you a pm.

[Eric Haynes]

Just for clarification. This is where all fur goes to be sold? Is there a huge auction hall of fur buyers or is it online?

[assateague]

No, there's a big hall. It's mostly Chinese, with some Russians mixed in for good measure. They are bidding on lots of like-graded furs. Out of a lot of maybe 200, there are about 10 furs representative of the lot which actually make the trip from Wisconsin to Toronto, but they are bidding on the whole lot, at a per-fur price. So if there are 200 furs, that guy paid $60,000 for that lot.

Oh okay. Still cool. This is awesome listening to this guy.

[Eric Haynes]

So, will your furs be in your own lot, or are they in with the guy that brought all of yours?

[assateague]

No, they're assigned lots based on grades. Each lot is all the exact same grade of furs. My furs are broken up into about 19 different lots, some have 5 of my furs in a lot of 200, some have 1. They keep track of all that crap.

Cool, I get it now. I noticed they skipped a lot because no one would bid what they wanted. Do they go back to that lot, or did 200 furs just get boned?

[assateague]

No, they will hold those furs over until the next sale, which is in April. If they're not sold there, they will hold them over until the last sale of the year, in November I think it is. Sometimes that's not as bad as you might think, because the supply of furs has been completely exhausted, and you get more money. Not always, but sometimes. The next sale is usually the one you get hosed on, because everyone has furs, that they bought at this sale.

Based on his voice, I want to see a video, but I think I would be disappointed when his character doesn't match the image in my head, lol

[assateague]

No kidding, I'm picturing the head gangster in Snatch.

[Eric Haynes]

So I had to look it up. The Silver fox is a red fox with a melanistic mutation. Guess they don't just breed together, but within all red foxes, so some end up being silver. Kinda like labs. For these prices, I may just start backyard breeding silver foxes.

[Eric Haynes]

$400 a piece, fuck my ass!

[assateague]

No shit. I looked it up, too. I've been scheming a way to dye my gray foxes silver.

Holy hell, some just went for $400 a pelt. Fuck.

[Eric Haynes]

Do you know what lots are yours? That way you know what you are getting as soon as they bid.

[MuddyWaterWarlock]

No ****. I looked it up, too. I've been scheming a way to dye my gray foxes silver.

Holy hell, some just went for $400 a pelt. ****.

That is going to be one expensive coat!

[Eric Haynes]

Reds are going for a lot. You had a bunch of reds didn't you? Some are going over 180

[NuffDaddy]

No, fleshed and stretched. Eric, those were the ranch reds, sort of a "designer" fox, with specially bred coats, not really reds.
