Simeon Turner Posted October 17, 2009 Report Share Posted October 17, 2009 Simeon & John Turner (Parkside Lofts) – Sheffield Major Reduction Sale Due to my Father (John) moving from Sheffield and moving to live here in Chesterfield (where I Live), we have made the decision to fly the pigeons from my back door, and finish at the allotment in Sheffield where we have had over 20 very enjoyable years. As a result of this we have to drastically reduce our team of stock and race birds. Over the past few months we have been deliberating which birds to take, and have decided that we will keep 12 pairs of stock birds and just 18 pairs of race birds. The race team will be made up of all this years youngsters, plus a few 08 birds to make the numbers up. This year has been another super season for us, with us ending up being Premier Prize Winners in both Saturday clubs that we fly, winning from 100 – 475 Miles in both. This year we have had 15 x 1st plus many, many other positions in the top 4 in both clubs. Our team of pigeons is basically our own breed based upon various strains of Janssen type birds that have been added to the team over the years, we also have the odd Jan Aarden for the distance and a few Gaby Vandenabeeles. The birds on offer are the best of what we own and we have taken sons and daughters with us to the new lofts – that is how highly we rate them. If it wasn’t for us moving these birds would not be for sale and it this has made the decision ever harder to come to. For the past 3 or 4 years we have sold young birds out of our race team and every year we have had winners reported, with many people coming back the following year for more youngsters, they have been that happy with them. Some of the birds below are for sale at a fraction of what they cost and we feel sure that in the right hands they will continue to produce super offspring. Lot 1 Hartog – Cock – GB2001R 18835 – Blue – Bred by John Gerrard, super stock cock, “Pure Gold†sire of prizewinners inland and over the channel. SIRE ‘Super Bull’ sire & G Sire of winners up to 9400 birds – top class DAM – Magic Lady – winner of 1st from 26055 Birds.

Novice Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 This sale is going well. Good luck with the remaining birds. For interest I wonder how many were sold on the site and how many via the advert in the pigeon paper. Which method of advertising do you prefer?

Roland Posted October 25, 2009 Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 This sale is going well. Good luck with the remaining birds. For interest I wonder how many were sold on the site and how many via the advert in the pigeon paper. Which method of advertising do you prefer? Interesting post that. Obviosly the Pigeon Paper atracts more views I'd imagine, be hard to actually say which percentage buying wise was best I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Simeon Turner Posted October 25, 2009 Author Report Share Posted October 25, 2009 To be honest I am stunned with the response on the internet. I put the list on last weekend - 22 were on the list but 4 had already been sold before any advertising. I sold 12 on the internet before the advert appeared in the BHW - I then sold 3 from the BHW advert leaving 3 birds I have sold another via the site today so 13 on the site, 3 in the BHW and 2 still left. If I had just advertised in the BHW I would have sold about 14 I think. So all in all I am really pleased with the sales on this say - so a massive thank you to everyone for the interest. I still have a few quality birds that I need to sort. What I plan to do is put a very special bird on the site in the next few days and auction it. Whatever the birds make the money will be sent as a thankyou to the organisers of the website. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
