The Horseman's Mission Select Sale
Holmes County Fairgrounds
8880 OH-39, Millersburgh OH
SCHEDULE
Horses 2:00PM EST
WELCOME to our online catalog & bidding site! Horses that are consigned ahead will be posted here prior to the sale. Consignments will show in numerical order and are open for pre-bidding/absentee bidding as soon as they are posted! Go ahead and get yourself registered to bid online if you can't attend in person!
Pre-Bidding/Absentee Bidding is open to you as soon as a horse is posted. This works much like ebay - you can place your maximum bid and then let the computer do all the work for you! The computer will set you in at the lowest bid amount allowed and then bid on your behalf by increments as needed when other bids are placed. This is a useful option if you will be in an area with poor internet/cell service on sale day, if you will be unable to watch live on sale day for any reason, or if you just find the pressure of a real time auction to be overwhelming.
ALTERNATIVELY.....
Watch & Bid LIVE on Sale Day! Once we start the horses on sale day, our webcast will go live. You'll have real time video/audio available and bid buttons. Make sure you are registered to bid AND logged in so you will be able to bid when your favorite horse comes in!
I WON! Now what? If you are a winning bidder, a member of our office team will contact you shortly to confirm your preferred payment method and pick up arrangements. If you need to reach us immediately, please call Victoria Shuffler at (828) 368-1263. While you do have to register to bid with a debit or credit card, you WILL NOT PAY WITH THAT CARD! You will be contacted by an office staff member to give you the wire transfer information! All wire transfers must be paid by Monday, October 23rd at 12pm! You are welcome to pay cash or check (ONLY IF YOU HAVE A BANK LETTER OF CREDIT) at pick up as long as you are picking up no later than NOON on SUNDAY. All purchases must be paid for in full by Noon on Sunday if you are not doing a wire transfer if you are doing a wire transfer you have until Monday October 23rd at 12pm!. If you need to layover board your horse while arranging transport, this can be arranged with the sale office. Board fees per day do apply after Sunday.
***Please Note when you register to bid, you will need to enter a credit or debit card and Horse Auctions USA will run an authorization to validate that card. This authorization WILL FALL OFF, much like when you reserve a car or hotel room. We DO NOT charge your card but it is likely that your bank will send you a notification of the authorization. Don't be alarmed - it is NOT a charge, just an authorization.
If you have any online bidding questions, please call Victoria at (828) 368-1263
