Only a few days to go before Holger Hetzel’s first online auction will start, on Saturday 18 May, from 17.00 to 21.00 hours. Interested buyers from more than twelve countries have already registered for bidding online on the collection of 13 quality showjumping horses.
For Holger Hetzel the lively interest comes as no surprise: "It is indeed the first online auction that we organise, but I always find it interesting to try out new possibilities for the horse sport. That has been my motto from the middle of the 90s", says the German.
In addition to the quality of the 13 horses offered for sale, which can pride themselves in victories and placings in official showjumping competitions up to international level and the special auction method with a maximum price limit of 100,000 euro, there are also other aspects that can explain the interest shown so far. No auction costs or VAT are charged. The buyer just pays what he has offered. Noteworthy are the many registrations from the USA. This has been taken into account for the timing of the auction: from 17.00 to 21.00 hours (CET), which is an ideal match with the time zone in the USA.
Holger Hetzel is mighty pleased with the try-outs of the auction horses "These horses, ranging from 4- to 12-yr-olds, are showing themselves much better in the try-outs than we had hoped.” The auction collection can be found on the new website of www.holger-hetzel.de.
For every horse the starting amount is 15,000 euro. The first buyer to bid the maximum price of 100,000 euro will automatically be the new owner. Otherwise the horse will go to the highest bidder at the end of each auction.
Access to the online auction is simple and free of charge. Anyone who wants to bid can register here https://holger-hetzel.weauction.nl/register.
