Bidding is set to close, starting with Lot 1, from
7pm on Wednesday 24 June.
Following are some bidding tips to help you navigate the process.
Lot 1 will close from 7pm. If a bid is placed in the final 30 seconds, another 30 seconds is added onto the auction and to all subsequent Lots. This will keep happening until there are no further bids placed. If you are are outbid, you must type in the next bid amount, the site does not automatically update the bid amount for you.
There is no benefit in letting auctions run down to the last second before bidding as the auction will just keep auto-extending until no further bids are placed. This practice increases your chances of missing out on horse. gavelhouse.com cannot identify loss of online connection, a slow internet connection or browser issues at the user's end.
