OUR SERVICES
World Class Choice for Online Auctions
From our humble beginnings as a classified listing site in 2004, known as SearchforthePerfectHorse.com to formally establishing in 2005, to expanding into full online auctions in 2006, Perfect Horse Auctions has become a premier online marketplace and auction platform. We strive to maintain a professional, flexible, and efficient way for associations, non-profits, businesses, and individuals to auction their horses, stallion breeding, equine care products and more. This ensures your buying experience has equal parts of both variety and quality.
The Bidding Process
Our site features auction-style listings that allow registered users to bid on an item, starting at the price the seller specifies. The listing will remain open for bids until the specified end time shown. When the listing closes, the highest bid wins the listing. Please note each bid is a binding contract to buy the item if you win.
How It Works
Register
Your next step is to register to get started.
Bidding
Registered bidders place a bid starting at the price the seller specifies. The listing will remain open for bids until the specified end time. When the listing closes, the highest bid wins. Each bid is a binding contract to buy the item if you win.
Buy Now
Some sellers will offer their remaining listings – those that did not sell during the bidding auction – as Buy Now listings, after the published sale dates. The price will be fixed, and no more bids will be accepted. Buyers may purchase those listings outright at the specified price until the date shown, or until the listing is sold.
Bid & Buy Now
Sellers have the option to offer both a Bid Price and a Buy Now price at the same time. Registered bidders may choose one or the other. When a Bid is placed the Buy Now option is immediately removed and bidding continues. If Buy Now is chosen, the purchase will close that listing immediately, and the item will be sold to the Buy Now purchaser without any additional bidding.
Remote Bidding - Live Auctions
Absentee/Proxy Bidding
Internet bidding is a great option for buyers who are unable to attend a live auction on sale day or don’t have fast speed internet. When pre-bidding opens just days before the live sale, buyers can set their proxy bid (max bid) and the system will bid for them before the sale and during the live sale. Be careful – if you set a proxy bid on more than one horse, you may end up owning them all.
Can you set a proxy bid before the sale starts and bid past that online during the live sale? Yes, you can set a proxy bid for the system to bid for you. When the bidding goes past your proxy, you can bid live online. Please know that just because you set a max bid, it doesn’t mean you will win the horse if it sells for that amount.
