How it works

There are three simple life stages to a gavelhouse.com auction: pre-sale, catalogue launch and bidding.

gavelhouse.com auctions are open for one week of bidding and are held fortnightly. If you wish to enter a horse, stallion share or nomination in a catalogue you have up until the Wednesday before catalogue launch to submit your listing.

1

Pre Sale

This is the time to get your horses entered into the next catalogue. Entries are open from the day after the previous catalogue has closed. You can enter a horse at any time, from anywhere. Entries close on the day before the catalogue is released.

2

Catalogue Launch

Each catalogue is launched the day after entries close. Interested buyers have seven days to do their due diligence in researching pedigrees, inspecting horses and having vettings completed.

3

Auction Day

Buyers have the full week that the catalogue is online to bid. Final bids will then be taken on each lot at individual times – one minute apart – starting from Lot 1 at 7pm on the final day of the auction.
