Quite a bit of ground frost this morning here on the East Coast of Fife.

Personally, I do not have a problem with others standing back, as long as they keepout the way, it's the ones that hang about, never do anything and continue to moan about everything elsehttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0127-lipssealed.gif

Here are a couple of reasons that may be the case; The individual wants to compete for and win both the breeder & the buyer prize.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Their birds is failing to draw bids, and sees this as embarasinghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif The individual believes his/her bird is worth more than the current bidhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif The individual would rather pay for their bird and compete without having to deal with couriers, and chase others to transfer the birds.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Nothing in the rules states that he/she can not bid for their own youngster and race ithttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Let us recognize the hard work put in by Ian, and enjoy the competition ahead of ushttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gif Good Luck to all competinghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/egyptian.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/egyptian.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/egyptian.gif As said many times already, this is how this B/B has been run for years , and no grumbles till now, So WELL DONE IANhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gif

Fair comment Blazhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0126-nerd.gif

Good luck wuldonhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/scotland.gif

I respect your opinion, how ever I have been to many, breeder/buyer, charity, clearance, SALES, and all were by the means of bidding, Anyway, good luck with your purchase in the breeder/buyer m8

So does your club or fed not have breeder buyer sales? If yes, are the donators refused the right to bid on their own birds? Maybe such posts should be moved to a new thread, so we do not interfer with the good work the admin and Ian have done with this great breeder/ buyer sale

I believe it was a Breeder/Buyer sale, not an auction.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Read the first post on this thread, it clearly states on 3 occasions that it is a SALE! not 1 mention of an AUCTIONhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0127-lipssealed.gif if you enter a bird into your club/fed breeder buyer sale, are you informed you can not bid on your own bird? I don,t think sohttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif

Payment sent by paypalhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gif

Totally agree, Ryanhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/animatedpigeons.gif any way, Good Luck m8!

A fine mild morning here in Fife

Good morninghttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gif

John, first of all, I am very sorry you feel this way, how ever I bid on both my entrants (like many others) at 13.06hrs, which still left just under 8hours of bidding left for others to bid on my birds. I was not on my laptop at the end of the sale. So, plenty of time for any other interested parties to place a bid. Why should someone who has entered birds be discouraged from bidding on his/her birds, and possibly not end up with a youngster to actually race for the winnings? (never actually entered a breeder/buyer, where this was the case)http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0127-lipssealed.gifI would be very interested to hear if your club/fed, do this, and inform those donating birds that they can not bid on them. If so, I think this would put some off, from entering/donating youngsters, to such breeder/buyer sales/auctions. Feedback such as this, makes me wonder why I bother entering birds at allhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0127-lipssealed.gif 11 of the 41 entrants were bought back by the original ownershttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif Let;s not forget were also looking to raise money for the Arson fund, so the more bids the better. Why do folks wait until a sale is over before they decide to disagree with the rules? surely, if you felt this way, then you should have raised your concerns/suggestions, prior to the breeder/buyer starting, for admin to consider.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0138-thinking.gif That's the thing about auctions, some times, some will end up dissapointed. How ever, as I said at the start of this post, I am sorry you feel this way. Brian GOOD LUCK TO ALL BREEDERS AND BUYERS, AND MAY THE BEST YOUNGSTER WIN!http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/animatedpigeons.gif

Glad you had a good day, hope the youngsters do you a turn Alfhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0140-rofl.gif
