Janssen Bro Total Auction

Has anyone been watching the Janssen bro Auction on PIPA highest bid so far is from China 11,400 EUR most of the bids are from China
Iv always liked the Janssen pigeons but i could nt aford these prices its still got eight more days to run

hi evs, been having a look now and then....i think at one time a pigeon was bid on by a uk fancier, not sure if he still is the highest bidder tho..........i think they will make a lot more money yet, but i cant understand why some of the major uk studs arnt bidding ?

i think some people will wait till last day and then bid Did you see the Best of Britain 2 auction i thnk highest bid theres 500 and there good birds

i had a quick look evs, i saw one or two of that mark giberts on there........to be honest i find it a bit hard to navigate around pipa`s auctions for some reason.

David i was thinking of bidding on the red of mark gilberts ill wait and see nearer the end of the auction

I see mark Gilbert was a friend of the late Ken Hine well Ken told me he could never understand why fanciers paid more at auctions than what he sold his birds for is there a reason for not buying direct from Mark just curious george

That would be too easy George.
I think it is all kidology, they think they are summat special because they are in an auction, if only everything was that simple.
Yep why not approach the man himself it can't hurt.
There is one well known fancier that I have had much dealings with in the past, he tells everyone his birds start from £125 each, the fact of the matter is, he said this way he gets no time wasters and if fanciers were contemplating paying this much for them, then surely they consider it a bargain when they get there and they are only £50 each.

your right Gary i went with a friend to Ken Hines loft he show us all the birds breeding and said take your pick a few he was putting into the stock loft but we could have the nest mates he picked 4 and i bought him 2 all at £50 each which i think most top lofts are charging now george

just had a look how the auction is going, its disgraceful how the chineese are bidding and probably winning them all...........in my opinion if they get hold of them the janssen birds will be lost for ever and wasted/ruined by them. JMO

been saying for ages wnt belong before all british studs get swept under the carpet by the chinks they will set up stud over here and sell pigeons cheap as chips just like everything eles british studs want to charge the earth but not invest in the stock where are the big studs and all the others who claim they have the best fact is they havent got them and wont have them because they wont invest

and i have always said you will get just as good from a top racing loft if not better george

yes i am sure this is chinamans game and if they offer good birds cheaper to us than the studs at present then fair play to um ......look at louellas they not investing only in distance birds

surely these top studs who claim to have the best available could bid and win some of these birds, in the adverts they all claim to buy only the best, where are they now ???

they are shooting them selves in the foot really because in future when they are selling janssens they cant claim to have the originals/best can they.........

just goes to show they dont give a toss for the future of the hobby/sport, and only interested in making money......

dont get down hearted david there wil be top birds out my red one for sale

I think the Chinese, are going to hit the world all at once mate.
Judging by the birds they have bought over the last 12 months from the sales of all the top fanciers, they have got pigeons from all the big names.
There won't be a stud to compete with them, so if I was a stud, I would certainly be looking to buy some birds from big names just to be able to compete.
Even talking to some guys at Blackpool some of the better names have even been approached by them and their agents.
Like anything else in the pigeon world, It's a buyers market and big names sell.

Graham's birds give a whole new meaning to Homing Pigeons

whats happened with this, has it ended ....?

it has ended but didnt see what the birds went for been busy with work

hi evs, me neither...would emagine they made a lot of money, will take a look on pipa later and see if it says anything...........

Shall do the same myself

when you go to pippa, check the archive and the auction will be there with all birds and final prices.

Hi Martyn hows things well i hope mate long time no talk

Will have a look now mate

Here you are the avarage was

20 pigeons in this auction Final average: 21.390 EUR / pigeon

no much when you consider they were the last of the janssen family of pigeons

all the prices have been removed so you can not see the higest priced pigeon

wonder how much 21.390 EUR is in pounds.......?
