rabbitfur Posted May 5, 2020 Share Posted May 5, 2020 Fur folks, Lots of gems in this auction, especially if you like fox. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/167389_wednesday-fur-auction/ I just won a beautiful lynx coat off this site last week, though not through this auction house. You will have to get approved ahead of time and be ready to contact a recommended shipping location to get your package to you. These forums seem like a good place to coordinate bids, so we're not competing among fur friends 😉 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
furs limited Posted May 6, 2020 Share Posted May 6, 2020 Note the 22% buyers premium and unknown total shipping costs. Those will add quite a bit to the final price. rf - do you remember how much the shipping AND handling charges were for your lynx? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabbitfur Posted May 6, 2020 Author Share Posted May 6, 2020 I had used the auctioneer recommended UPS store - it ended up $41 for 2 day ground from New York to the midwest. It took my $200 hammer price to close to $300 with the buyers premium & shipping. Still a great price for a full length lynx I think. For what it is worth, it looks like this auction house had another fur auction back in the fall... May give you an idea of prices and how much competition to expect. Looks like many of the lots passed. https://www.liveauctioneers.com/catalog/150412_luxury-fur-coat-auction/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rabbitfur Posted May 7, 2020 Author Share Posted May 7, 2020 Is it fox as they say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LustForFur Posted May 8, 2020 Share Posted May 8, 2020 (edited) There are some misidentified furs there but what I especially noticed is that a lot of them aren't even vintage. I recognize a lot of these coats as being designs that were sold by Daria or Furs Factory Outlet. Those huge Cruella coats everyone loves so much. I noticed one of them even has the Daria tag on it still. So this means you get a virtually new fox fur coat for a fraction of what it was originally bought for. I also recognized some of those furs as ones that I used to own. I saw one silver fox coat that I sold to a gentleman in Montreal and now it's down there in Florida. I know a couple of furriers from Montreal who seem to do a lot of dealings with someone down in Florida. This might be them.

rabbitfur Posted May 13, 2020 Author Share Posted May 13, 2020 Congrats LustForFur! Which ones? A couple of the lots that I was interested in passed too quickly. I have been exchanging emails with the auctioneer - I am hopeful I can still land them. 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
