JohnQuinn Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 The standard of doos on sale was Very Poor, the condition of some was a disgrace as well. I would have to compliment Ian Axe though as his doos were in great condition again. There were a few others who's doos were not bad at all but the vast majority shouldn't have been offered for sale they were so poor. Mind you there were eejits buying them so its hard to criticise the vendors!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

fletch Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 For those PB members who attended the Blackpool Show at the winter gardens, and any external sales/auctions. Who would you say had the best birds for sale? to be honest only saw 1 bird that took my eye i held it and first thing i noticed was the bird was full of lice, so not for me, my mate looked at a bird that did stand out on another stand and was £250 and it had bloody flights wasnt worth that sort of money they were asking Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
retired Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Quite shocked at the quality of what I see with very few nice birds if I was to have picked any from the lot both would have been from massarella. Had to laugh when spotted some of jakjak's birds on a stand for a considerable amount more than he charges himself though Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whats it called Cumbernauld Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Went round most of the stalls have to agree standard was very poor.Did however like the birds of Richard miller from Lane head house lofts some nice staff van reets,bought a cracking b/b hen well pleased.Have to also say, that the sales away from winter gardens were also of poor quality,either that i am missing something. Having said this, we had a great weekend over all Happy days Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sapper756 Posted January 23, 2011 Author Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 Being someone who admires the Aarden strain, I would say that Raymond Molveld and also Bob Mac Donalds birds, were my type of doohttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/emoticon-0137-clapping.gif JMO Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

alec guinness Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 imo the birds in general were poor in quality and were not what i would have taken home,the one fanciers birds that did impress me chucked his auction sale half way through a few years ago at blackpool so on principle i had to rule the fancier out. ;) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest C Visser Posted January 23, 2011 Report Share Posted January 23, 2011 For those PB members who attended the Blackpool Show at the winter gardens, and any external sales/auctions. Who would you say had the best birds for sale? Herman Beverdam, good pigeons at reasonable prices. Its the same every year. Its a credit to him.
