WOODBINE 88 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 I was pleased that NZB decided to offer such a sale but I was very interested in the terms and conditions of this sale and I must say they will be costing vendors particularly with the increased Gavelhouse commission rate from 5 percent to 8.5 percent. An online sale is just that an online sale and the Gavelhouse Plus upgrade does not add outstanding value to any vendor at present My suggestion is that this Gavelhouse Plus sale should not be compared to the existing May sale as they are very different. Eg no offering fee on passed in lots has ever been a condition of previous May sales so even to raise it is misleading Accordingly the sale should be offered on the normal terms and conditions of a normal Gavelhouse fortnightly sale such as entry fee $500 plus GST, and sales commission of 5% The requirement for X-rays is in order but any comments about an extended buying bench works in NZB’s favour Because as the selling agent they should be maximising the number of potential buyers. Finally there is no need for a major printing run for a May catalogue with a major cost saving to NZB. Any comments.?

Aaron Bidlake 760 Report post Posted April 22, 2020 If you don't like the terms just sell on the regular fortnight auction then wouldn't you? Or bloodstockauction weekly, I think they are no commission... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
