If you're new to bidding online with Horse Auctions USA, the following information should prove useful! Any online bidding questions should be directed to Kimra Compton at (276) 340-9370 calls and texts are welcome. Please call before the sale starts because I probably can't answer during the sale
You can watch & bid live in real time OR you can place absentee bids ebay style!
At sale time, you'll have REAL TIME video & audio and bid buttons available to you and you can join us from anywhere in the world with a reliable internet or cellular connection!
Early absentee bidding is available to you now , yes even before the sale order is finalized! This works much like ebay for those of you familiar with that. You can place your maximum bid ahead of time and the computer will then act as your agent at sale time, bidding on your behalf by minimum increments to keep you in the lead. This option is useful for those of you with poor internet/cell service at home, those who are unable to watch live for any reason, and also for you folks who find the fast pace of a live auction to be intimidating. PLEASE NOTE that if you place an early absentee bid and that animal comes into the ring with an announcement that changes the information that was available to you when you placed your bid (i.e. the horse cribs but that was not disclosed in the listing) we will NOT honor your pre-bid for your protection. We want you to bid with the most accurate information available!
For those of you who prefer to watch and bid live, you’ll have real time audio/video available to you at sale time! Make sure you have registered to bid, are logged in, and then hit the “View Live” button on the live feed (that "play" button will appear on sale day)! You’ll be good to go and can participate just as if you were here in person!
For those of you using an iPhone or iPad, we do recommend downloading the Horse Auctions USA app for the best bidding experience! It is available FREE to download from the App Store! If you have an Android phone or prefer to use your computer, use our website by typing bid.horseauctionsusa.com in your browser. We do recommend using the Google Chrome browser as it tends to be the most up to date but the site will work in most browsers.
You will need to register with a credit/debit card in order to bid online. Click "Register to Bid" under any horse listed in the auction or on the auction's practice lot. This will populate a pop up window. If you've never had an account with Horse Auctions USA, at the bottom of that window click on "No Account? Sign up here" then follow the prompts. Please note that a pre-authorization for $1000 will be placed on your registered card. This is NOT a charge, just an authorization to verify you are indeed a real person with a real card and is a good faith hold to allow you to bid. Your mobile banking app may send a notification that looks like a charge - AGAIN, this is not a charge. It will show as pending and then fall off like it was never there once the sale is complete and any purchases you have made are paid for. You DO NOT have to pay for your purchases with this card – cash or check at pick up is perfectly acceptable! Please be advised that there is a 4% processing fee on all card payments.
Winning bidders will be contacted by a member of the sales office team. PLEASE NOTE that it gets very hectic in the office and just because you are done bidding for the day doesn't mean the sale is done. A member of our staff will call you but it is possible it will be AFTER the sale has ended. If you need assistance before that, you can TEXT Kimra at 276-340-9370 or call/text Patrick at 804-307-5236
Horses need to be picked up by 10:30 am on Sunday If that timeframe won't work (and we know it won't for some of our out of area bidders) local layover board is available. You will need to contact Patrick at (804) 307-5236 to arrange this.
Good luck and happy bidding!
