Dates requested for your auction can only be guaranteed upon receipt of contract and deposit. If another association requests the same date, the first deposit received will be awarded the dates requested.
If your requested start date is less than 30 days from now, please contact Perfect Horse Auctions before you complete this form.
Listings will be visible to the public as soon as they are added to the sale catalog, which may be up to 30 days prior to the bidding start date.
Your sale may open or close on any date or time, but please be aware that Customer Service may not be available on holidays, after normal business hours, or on weekends.
All times on Perfect Horse Auctions are shown in the Pacific Time Zone only.
End Dates and End Time
The sale end time specified here is the time that bidding will close for your FIRST listing. All subsequent listings will close AFTER this time at intervals of 2 - 5 minutes.
The end time for each listing will extend if there are new bids within the final minutes of bidding. The extension of a listing due to active bidding will not delay the close of subsequent listings.
Banner
The logo must be square and should be 300px by 300px. You may change the logo at any time from your account profile.
The banner must be 1400px wide by 200px high. If necessary, our designer will use additional images from your web site, and/or modify the dimensions of your logo to meet the required dimensions. Your logo and banner images may be used for advertising and promotional emails.
Post Sales
Check with our sales office to see if this option is available for your sale.
You must decide BEFORE bidding closes how you would like to manage listings that do not sell during regular bidding. These items are referred to as "post-sales"
If you would like Perfect Horse Auctions to manage your post-sales, then any listings not sold during the regluar bidding period will be automatically re-listed as "buy now" listings.
The re-listing process takes place immediately when the listing closes, and will be displayed at the end of any remaining listings not yet closed. In this case, all purchases must be made through Perfect Horse Auctions.
Bidders are not informed of your post sale choice until AFTER bidding has ended. Please refer to out custom sale user guide for more information about this option.
Post Sale Length
If Perfect Horse Auctions will be managing your post sales, how long would you like the listings to remain available as "Buy Now"? All post sale listings must close by June 30.
In the case of breeding or service contracts be sure to check with the owner / donor to be sure the extended sale time is acceptable.
Perfect Horse Auctions reserves the right to shorten the post sale length as needed.
