If it is your first time to bid here, please mention:

  • the ringnumber of the pigeon
  • the price you want to bid
  • your name
  • your postal adress
  • your Phone number and e-mail address

IMPORTANT:
If the ending of the auction is very near, it is safer to make a phone call, because Internet can't guarantee the email reaches us on time!

Buying orders

You can submit a buying order with us - this allows us to bid for you up to a certain amount.
Bids done with a buying order are noted in the bid list with: "(by b.o.)".
In case of equal buying orders, the bidder who gave the first buying order has priority.

Minimum bid step

If price is between 200 and 10000 RAND: Min bid increase: 200 RAND
If price is between 10000 and 15000 RAND: Min bid increase: 500 RAND
If price is 15000+ RAND: Min bid increase: 1000 RAND

Auction prolongment

If there is a bid during the last 15 minutes before the auction closes, the auction end will be extended by 15 minutes.

Example:

  • auction ends at 5:00 PM
  • there is a bid at 4:47 PM
  • the auction end will be extended until 5:15 PM

Sex of young birds

The sex of the young birds is always an indication! Never 100% sure!

Extra costs?

The price you bid is the price you pay. There is NO extra commission charge, like there is in the public auctions!

Shipment?

After payment, the pigeon can be collected. Transport can also be arranged in different ways, depending on the country of destination. Transport cost will be charged to the buyer.
