JohnQuinn Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Must say i'm disappointed that the donor bid over the top of me, a think this practice should be banned.
gordi.b Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Totally agree john , donated birds should be for another member to race that's what its all about
gordi.b Posted February 16, 2013 Report Posted February 16, 2013 Should make all entrants post the weekly performance of the birds so we can keep an eye on the competition plus I can watch wiley's birds lol.Great idea

demolition man Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Well done lads nice few quid for the arson fund:: :emoticon-0140-rofl:
andy Burgess Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Sale going well just a reminder you are expected to race these young birds as that is what they have been donated for Club , Fed or National even a One loft race Good luck
sapper756 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Must say i'm disappointed that the donor bid over the top of me, a think this practice should be banned.http://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.gifhttp://forum.pigeonbasics.org/public/style_emoticons/default/mad.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
Wiley Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Brian, it's very sad to see this situation, the breeder buyer has been running a couple of years now with no problems. I feel all birds entered should be auctioned. I've never competed in a breeder buyer where the breeder couldn't buy his bird back. If this is the case with an online breeder buyer, with many people from all over the British isles from the site courier costs would kill it, as most cost around £40 now. If you take the average sold being £30 per bird, it means your racing a youngster priced at £70 including carriage and for me it's to much money that can be lost off the loft and not even entered into a race basket, just my opinion.

flying fifer Posted February 17, 2013 Report Posted February 17, 2013 Don't think we need to make a simple thing like a Breeder/Buyer complicated by having add-ons to the bidding etc. What we must remember is where the 40% is going and if you are not 100% okay with set-up then don't participate. Hat off to Ian for organising event and best of luck to all who bid for birds, especially B Massey. Following on from an earlier thread I think it's a great idea to keep the site updated about birds progress. AW THE BEST
