Ryan Hay Posted March 10, 2020 Report Posted March 10, 2020 Is there any others from the north of scotland fed bought any birds from the Donaldsons auctions in Ireland? Just wondering as we could arrange a courier between us to save a bit of money.
Ryan Hay Posted March 12, 2020 Author Report Posted March 12, 2020 That’s a great idea Ryan ðŸ‘I know of a couple lads that were thinking of biding but unsure of courier. I'm definitely buying so if anyone fancies splitting the cost give me a shout

I was the winning bidder on 6 birds in the 1st auction, then was contacted and told I only actual won 1 at the live sale. First time i have seen an auction work that way.

coey18 Posted March 14, 2020 Report Posted March 14, 2020 Similar to me I was winning on 5 and ended up with just the 1. Hopefully better luck todayIt shouldn't be down to luck, surely the bidder should be able to continue bidding if it goes any higher. You could look at the online auction and see what the winning bid was and then go to the live auction and have an idea what the winning bidder was willing to pay and now they cant alter there bid. For yourself to win 1 from 5 and I win 1 from 6, that in itself should show it doesnt work. I have only bid on 1 this time and bid way over the amount it was on.

Id never bid online because your only bidding against yourself in the end,if your the highest bidder online it starts at that in the hall...better to hold off and bid in the hall.
scrapman Posted March 14, 2020 Report Posted March 14, 2020 i won 3 and am in fife if theres any others nearby maybe make the courier charge a bit cheaper
