Online sales Online sales platforms have afforded buyers more information than would have been quickly available 12 months ago.
Back then buyers were generally restricted to accessing the sale they were actually attending.
Now, sitting at home or in their jeeps or cars with laptops or phones they can see what the trade is like in any number of locations.
As the week progressed and you began to realise sales were bigger, would you not be tempted to sit and wait to see where prices opened before getting involved?
All that said, and despite some sales yards reporting small numbers of stock left unsold, it appears that interest from northern operators cranked up again last week.
