It seemed impossible to match or even break last season's auction record, despite the many great offers. The pre-bidding started off with a bang but almost came to a halt after a few days. In the end, there was a bit more activity, and the pre-bidding total ended up above €6,000, specifically €6,610. In our wildest dreams, we saw the amount of €7,000 as possible after our live auction...
The live auction also started spectacularly, with the first voucher from our overall champion selling for €600. This already brought us to the €7,000 we had dreamed of. Additionally, Gommaire Verbruggen's voucher was sold via phone for an impressive €2,700! Ultimately, the live auction concluded with a total amount of €8,480!
We could only gather this amount thanks to ALL the wonderful donations and the bidders and buyers of one or more vouchers! Without you, this would NEVER have been possible! And thanks to this amount, we can also provide guarantees, refund postage costs, and offer discounts on the loft lists in 2025! In the 2024 season, we spent more than €4,000 on sponsorships! So, during the upcoming 2025 season, we will provide even more guarantees and try to make pigeon racing in our region even more attractive. You read that right: the proceeds will benefit our enthusiasts! Once again, thank you to everyone for this, and we wish you all happy holidays and a happy and healthy new year!
It was also the first year we had so many phone bidders, and it didn't always go smoothly! We will discuss this and see what measures we will take for next season. More on this later!
