Winning bidders will receive notification by email after the auction closes. Please be patient, this is normally automatic but may be deferred for several minutes if the site traffic is heavy. The admin will check the logs at the conclusion of the auction to make sure all winning bid notices were sent.

Winning bid email will contain a PayPal link for quick payment as well as contact numbers and a downloadable form for faxing information to the office if so desired. Payment must be made within 48 hours of auction close or the next highest bidder will receive the offer. Bidders who default on an auction will be blocked from future events.

The AHS Stallion Service Auction uses Standard (Proxy Bidding)

This is the default option. Here Bidder A can enter a proxy Maximum Bid that they are willing to bid up to and be protected in the auction till their Maximum Bid is beaten.

Example

• “Stallion A” has a starting bid of $100.
• John places a maximum bid of $250. His current bid starts at $100.
• Mary places a bid of $200, but is told that her bid is lower than John’s bid.
• The current bid of John is now raised to $225 to defeat Mary’s bid of $200.
• Mary can choose to place a new bid which is more than $250 or higher, to outbid John.
• Bid increments are automatically set at $25 and calculated by the bidding algorithm. Bids placed will have to be above that value AND the automatic bid increment will use the same value.
