WELCOME to our Online Bidding Platform!
Here on this online bidding platform, you can watch and bid live just as if you were with us in person! You will have listings available to you ahead of time. As mules are added to the sale, they will post here. Initially, they will post without their final hip number. Once consignments close, we will update each mule's listing with hip number and the listings will be reorganized in selling order. 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!
As soon as a mule or donkey is posted, early absentee bidding becomes available to you! 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 mule 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 “Play/View Live” button on the live feed! You’ll be good to go and can participate just as if you were here in person!
For those of you using a mobile device, we do recommend downloading the Horse Auctions USA app for the best bidding experience! It is available FREE to download from the Google Play and App Stores! If you prefer to use your browser, we do recommend using Google Chrome though the website works on almost all browsers.
You will need to register with a credit/debit card in order to bid online. Please note that a pre-authorization for $500 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. This authorization will fall off 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. Final payment for winning bids will be made directly with the Tennessee Mule Sales sale office.
Winning bidders should contact Rilla Reese Hanks in the sale office once you are done bidding for the day to confirm preferred payment method and pickup arrangements! (615) 973-0391
Mules need to be picked up on sale day or by NOON on SUNDAY! If that timeframe won't work, please reach out to Richard Reese at (615) 943-6375 to arrange layover board.
If you need any assistance with online bidding or have any questions pertaining to it, please call/text Victoria at (828) 368-1263 or Bridget at (336) 904-8903. Please remember that when the sale is ongoing, we are generally on the auction block and unable to answer a phone call so if that is the case, text will be your best bet!
Good Luck & Happy Bidding!

3. All items are sold "as is where is" The auctioneer assumes no liability for any guarantee made by the seller.
4. The auctioneer is not liable for any injury, damage, or loss incurred in connection with the sale.
5. Purchaser assumes responsibility for items when "sold" or upon delivery to purchaser.

INTERNET BIDDERS PLEASE NOTE! When you register to bid, Horse Auctions USA will place a $500 preauthorization on the credit or debit card that you register with. This is NOT a charge, just a preauthorization. Your mobile banking may send a notification that appears as a charge - AGAIN, it is just a preauthorization. The $500 will show as "pending" and then never complete but rather, will just vanish as if it was never there. Once the sale is complete, this preauthorization is released for all non-winning bidders. Winning bidders will have the preauthorization lifted once final settlement is made with the auction company. If for any reason you as a winning bidder fail to make final payment to the auction company before the open of business on Monday, you understand that Horse Auctions USA will finalize the $500 preauthorization and remit it to the auction company to be applied to your bill. Further, you understand that Horse Auctions USA will charge your registered card for the full amount due to the auction company for your winning bids. BID RESPONSIBLY and remember, your bid is a legally binding contract! You are responsible for your winning bids.
