How the WVTA Auctions Work:
You must be a WVTA member to consign fur or roots through our auction. Membership can be purchased at the sale location.
Upon arrival, a consignment sheet is completed, which includes the seller's name, address, hunting license number, and county in which their fur was taken.
Consignor's numbers are called on a first-come-first-served basis. We do have an express lane for consignors having less than 15 items.
When the consignor's number & name is called, their items are brought to the grading table. We have 3 graders in addition to the express lane.
The consignor can choose to accept or reject the grade on his fur.
If accepted, the consignor's fur is placed into graded lots to be sold at auction. (Example: all the consignor's large mink will be placed with all large mink to be sold at auction)
Raw fur is not graded, and sold as one lot per consignor.
Buyers may inspect fur and root items on Sunday morning and receive their bidder numbers at noon Sunday.
The auction begins at 1:00 p.m. with raw fur lots being sold first. Finished fur is sold by the piece, roots are sold by the pound. The buyer purchases all items included in the graded lot.
Following the auction, buyers make payment in full to the WVTA for their purchases.
Within one week after the auction, each consignor receives a check for the items he consigned.
Items sold through the WVTA auction are assessed a consignment percentage: 6% for fur, 5% for roots, which is deducted from the members' check.
