2008 rings available on e-bay?????


Recommended Posts

So Morroco is no different then?

 

Think every country will have a distribution 'lag' of some sort, you can't really expect manufacturer to supply on January 1st and have rings in every fancier's hands by the end of the same day. 2008 starts and ends on the same days no matter what country you are in.  :)

 

But still think there is something amiss with this case. Accept the rings are on sale on e-bay as collector's items but it is strange a collector can get them before a fancier?

 

2008 rings being in circulation just now leaves the way open for abuse. What safeguards are there to stop a fancier purchasing 2008 rings for 2007 bred birds and putting them into all the one loft races around the world?

Bruno,You say you find it strange that a collector can get these rings but not a fancier,these rings are from Morrocco how do you know that morrocan fancier,s cant buy them now,they probably have totally differant rules over there.

What needs to happen is a blacklist of all countries that are releasing bands early and these should be outlawed from competiton outside their areas or in one loft races

But ours are available early as well, just not to us, I am sure someway down the production line and distribution lines there is an oppertunity to aquire these rings

Imagine a Crooxy being a security gaurd looking after them :D :D :D

Accept what you and DoveScot say that rules governing this could be different in another country as has already been pointed out to be the case even within the UK. To be honest I cannot find any SHU rule which covers the distribution of rings but have never had them before January so suspect there is at least a procedure governing the distribution of SU rings which guarantees that ..  

 

What I am saying is 2008 rings must be in the organisations hands before the end of 2007 to give people time to get them distributed.

 

But if 2008 rings are made available to fanciers in 2007 where is the safeguard to stop those rings going on 2007 latebred pigeons?  Aren't pigeon people world-wide usually well aware of potential problems that create opportunities for cheating? Wouldn't all organisations irrespective of country normally try to prevent that? That's why I cannot see anyone having a rule which allows it and deliberately create a chance to cheat the system  :)

Just because the ring has Morocco on it,it does not mean it is a genuine one issued by their association.For starters the ring is being offered for sale from Argentina!

Anyone can have rings made with whatever they want on them.Me and Ben have USA and ENGLAND rings from the Phillipines.In 2005 there were some unofficial Australian rings doing the rounds but they were nothing more than personal rings.

I do not know if the ring is genuine or not but it is a good way of making money from collectors for a rare ring
