Who We Are
|
Welcome to Gavelhouse. We offer a global service that supports buyers and sellers looking for a high quality, inexpensive and effective means of trading thoroughbreds online.
|
Gavelhouse charges no commissions or any kind of commercial participation in owners' sales. Buyers and sellers deal directly with each other. The seller only pays a modest listing fee.
|
The service is the culmination of 30 years experience in the racing and breeding industries. It is designed for anyone thinking about or looking to buy or sell a racehorse. Whether exploring your very first transaction or trading on a regular basis, Gavelhouse provides a first-class, easy alternative to the auction environment. It is available to you anytime and from anywhere.
|
International Exposure
|
The Gavelhouse network, with its strong presence in New Zealand and South Africa, is extensive.
|
Our representative in South Africa is an industry professional available to personally assist and support you in the entire trading process – from uploading a simple photo to arranging international export.
|
Gavelhouse, through its association with leading industry and communications bodies, is being highly publicised throughout the world, and particularly throughout New Zealand and the Asian region. We have a comprehensive database of owners and trainers in Singapore, Philippines, Korea, Macau, Malaysia and China. This gives you unprecedented exposure to some of the world’s keenest and most active trading arenas.
|
A Sensible Alternative
|
Before the inception of Gavelhouse, thoroughbreds were traded primarily at a local and regional level. Most sales were confined to the limitations of the traditional auction environment at appointed times and places. Gavelhouse has greatly expanded the sale ring to include an international marketplace of buyers and sellers eager to trade at any given point in time. As such, Gavelhouse not only gives you immediate access to national and international opportunities, but also the freedom to sell or buy a horse whenever you choose.
|
Naturally, a fast, successful sale through Gavelhouse can significantly reduce ongoing agistment fees and other costs associated with waiting or preparing for a forthcoming auction.
