The highest price for white was NAD 878.40 (DKK 600) for a lot of 146 O Select pelts. The pelts were purchased by 25 buyers, while there were others that actively made bids but weren’t successful. The major buyer was Hong Kong with the agents from England second and Japan third. Buyers from Italy, Greece, the USA and Germany also participated actively at the auction. The inspection before the auction showed that there is still much interest in swakara, but the buyers are worried that because of the worldwide economic conditions, more expensive articles will sell more slowly and they fear that the shops still have stock. The white did very well for the first time on auction with a 23% increase in Danish Krone compared with the contract prices received in April 2009. The white received much interest especially because they are now available to everybody. The top Namibian producer (with more than 250 pelts) for this auction was RH Losper from Keetmanshoop who sold 256 pelts at an average of NAD 440.51, and the top RSA producer was LJ Kotze from Groblershoop, who sold 291 pelts at an average of R392.41.
