How does the auction work? and HOW TO BID
Basically like a low tech version of Ebay. Auctions will be open for approx one week, soon after a kid is born. Pictures and details of each kid will be posted below under "Current Auctions". The opening bid and current high bid will be displayed, and although not always immediate, it will be updated many times throughout the day, as needed.I will be at the computer near the end of auction to make updates for any last minute bids coming in. Make sure you refresh/reload this page in your browser to see the updates. You can send me your bids, and if you'd like you can specify a max bid, just like Ebay, so you don't have to keep up with it through the counterbidding process. Setting a max bid is NOT a straight bid. Setting a max bid just authorizes me to continue countering any other bids automatically, on your behalf, UP TO your max amount. So if an auction opens at $700 and you tell me you'd like to place a bid, and your max bid is $1000, you will get the current bid spot of $700. It will only go up if someone counterbids. If someone counter bids at $725, you will automatically get the $750 spot, and it will stay there unless someone else bids. If someone counter bids and tells me their max bid is $950, the bidding will autoincrement in $25 amounts, and you will end up in the $975 spot.
To ensure people with nothing better to do aren't sending frivolous bids from fake accounts, bids can be sent through Facebook Messenger to "Kathy Beck-Mullins". If we are not already friends on Facebook, send a friend request to become an approved bidder. I will be checking out your account for all the signs of being a real account. It is helpful to do that way ahead of time. Even more helpful if you send a message too especially if you don't have goat posts on your page. If you do not use Facebook, you can email your bid from the contact email address you have listed on your website. Include a link to your website in your email. I feel this should cover 99.9% of people. Established breeders are going to have a website or a Facebook, and that is the customer base for these auctions. Bid increments are $25. (if current bid is $1000, the next bid would be $1025).
I will also make a Facebook post and update there as well for each auction, however, with the ever present chance of getting put in Facebook jail, you should check this page if you haven't seen FB updates. :)
At the close of each auction, the winning bid amount and initials of winning bidder(s) will be displayed. Littermates will be setup staggered with slightly different auction end times, so that if you don't win on the one, you will still have time to get in on the other one. You can let me know when you bid on the first one, if you'd like your bid automatically moved the second one if you don't win the first one.
IF YOU WIN THE AUCTION
If you placed the winning bid, you will be notified by the method you sent the bid (email or Messenger).
You will have 24 hours to send a deposit via paypal, or in person if local. If no deposit
of cleared funds is received in 24
hours, it goes to the next highest bidder. Cleared funds means there
will be no hold on the amount through paypal, or cash (not a check) if in person. To have cleared funds through Paypal, you need to have an available balance OR your bank account/credit
card linked ahead of time, so PLAN AHEAD.
All kids have to be picked up at the farm.
I can not meet on transport routes. Most transporters don't do farm pickups anymore, so
again, plan ahead. If you win a bid, place a deposit, and then can't get transport worked out, you will lose your deposit.
Know whether you can get transport worked out before placing a bid
(please and thank you!). Don't skimp on transport! Thats not where
you want to try to save money. There are too many transporter horror
stories. Make sure you have many solid references for that
transporter and a clear commitement from them with pickup and
delivery dates/timeline. Some may take way longer than what you'd
think to get your kid to you! ASK for a clear commitment on how long
it will take to get kid from here to you.
**The transporter does not work for me!!! They are hired by and work
for you! I have no control over their care once they leave this
farm! BE SURE to use a very good transporter! Protect your
investment!** Consider privately hiring someone you know
local to you, that can pick up and bring the kid directly to you.
Likely will be close to same cost as using an actual transporter
with way less travel time/stress for the kid. The target for kid pickup is between
3-4 weeks old. I can not hold on to kids for extended periods of
time, so be sure you can get kid
transported within the timeframe. Unless agreed to ahead of time, if
kid hasn't been picked up by 4 weeks old, deposit will be forfeited
and kid will be sold to another buyer. If a CVI is desired, I have
to know enough ahead of time to get a vet scheduled and they are
very booked here so the more notice, the better.
Buyers are responsible for all costs
associated with the CVI, including the farm vet visit. If there is
more than one buyer needing one at the same time, the vet farm visit
fee can/will be split up between the buyers to save you money.
***Any associated CVI fees plus the full price of the kid must be paid in full, in cleared funds, before the kid can leave the farm. Paypal payments need to be sent friends and family (double check to ensure there is no fee!), OR alternatively, you can add the 3.5% fee to your payment. *** Important: Paypal no longer allows a refund of a payment plus fees, if you mess up and do it wrong, if I refund, they still keep the fee and it comes from my account! So if you do it wrong, unfortunately, you'll have to send a second payment to cover the fee, so double and triple check there is no fee being charged. :)
By Placing a bid, you agree to all above so make sure you read it!!!
