So what 10 days to go there etc George plenty of time type thing  Always thought here a good auction is a short auction scenario sadly not the case here apparently I'm .

217 ace bird though george, plus not very good results through the hot spots, 3rd in final but maybe just a fluke ...?

£1,120 so far for the winner, still plenty of time to go yet .....

some of the cheapest on there at £20 with no bids yet .......

Early days, no idea at this stage what they will go for.

Just thought back to the days when velocities were worked out long hand variations by a swizzle stick and several different kinds of timers.

Now we have all the technology but lost most of the fun.

Regards.

i have been very lucky with the birds i brought in they were in good health would not bring any in now from these auctions

to be fair every bird ive bought from the rpra one loft has been healthy, and never had any heath issues in the time ive had them, yet strange how losses are sometimes but down to health issues during racing/training .....

Just had a look in at the auction.

I know there is a long way to go but if I had one in I would certainly start the bidding off at the starting bid to show some early interest.

Afraid there are many not getting bids on other sites at closing time.

Much uncertainty in many different aspects of life at this time afraid.

Regards.

misty i'm sure £60 courier fee has a lot to do with it

yes £60 for one bird is scandalous ...... you could end up spending more on the courier than the bird .

that's why David i bought 3 birds from olr first bird £25 any other £5

£25 is a good price anyway george, plus £5 for each bird after is excellent ...... which courier did that do you know ...?

yes David the 2 chaps who run the OLR

thats good, thats a massive help to fanciers buying auction birds, its a shame other one lofts dont do the same ......

1st place winner of the final is making £2,870 so far , just under 4 days to go yet........

been looking at a pair of frans zwol pigeons, going very cheap ....... i might be tempted

I noticed the name cropping up David and thought about yours.

Cannot believe in reality that there are any pure breeds.

Fanciers try a new pigeon or two out and even if they blend in and breed winners they are still pure this or that.

As things are health wise in the pigeon world ???????.

Regards.

im not too bothered about names/breeds misty, they are only as valid as the man naming them .... pedigrees can easily be fabricated, i`d much prefer to buy birds from someone who races well with them .

anyone know why the last but one bird in the auction (293) is making £71 ...? it didnt fly in the final and yet making more money than birds who raced better.

anyone know something i dont ..... have i missed something

was thinking the same David have you looked who is bidding think he is the owner the owner is pushing up the price he enter about 120 birds in olr and has won 2 finals
