Q. What is Maximum bid?

A.This feature is where our software will bid for you. It is not a requirement just another option that you can choose. If you like a horse and wish to place a bid on him and have an idea on what you would like to spend, you can place your regular bid, then place the amount you would be willing to spend in the maximum bid spot. No one else will see this figure but us. Here's where it gets good. Say a horse is listed with a minimum bid of $1500 with increments of $100. You start the bid at $1500 and decide you would be willing to spend $2000 to get him. Someone else comes along and bids $1600 outbidding you. The software will then step in and automatically put you back in for the next bid of $1700 and so on until your $2000 is reached or you get the high bid for less.  If the bidding does go on until someone has overbid your maximum bid of $2000, you will receive an automatic email notice stating that you have been overbid. Then it's up to you to decide how much you like that horse.

Q.  Can I set a reserve price for my horse?

A. Yes, simply let us know when you consign what your Reserve price is and where you would like for the bidding to begin. If no Reserve price is set all bidding will start at your established minimum sales price.
