Welcome to the online bidding platform for the American Haflinger Registry Sale!
We are excited to now bring you an online catalog of the Haflinger Sale!
Consignments will sell in numerical order!
Here on this online bidding platform, you can watch and bid live just as you are here with us in person. However, you will now have listings available to you ahead of time, you’ll know their hip number and the order they will sell in. This will make it easier for our online bidders to participate and hopefully get the horse(s) they have their eyes on!
As soon as a horse 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 horse 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” 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
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 – We accept cash, wire transfer or a check with a bank letter of credit. Paying with cash or check with a bank letter of credit at pick up perfectly acceptable!
Winning bidders will be contacted by the sales office to confirm preferred payment method and pickup arrangements! If you are needing to pick up or have your purchase picked up after Saturday afternoon... Please contact Dan Yoder to set up pick up arrangements, as all of the stock must be moved from the Fairgrounds day of sale. Anything that needs to be laid over will be at his barn until pick up!
If you need any assistance with online bidding or have any questions pertaining to it, please call/text Victoria Shuffler at 828-368-1263. Please be sure to do so BEFORE we start the horse sale on Wednesday at 6pm. Once we start, Victoria is on the auction block and unable to answer calls! Register BEFORE the sale so we can assist you with anything you might need!
