Vendors Sale Requirements 2 March Sale 2021 Welcome Welcome to Goffs Online We keep selling 2021 has not enjoyed the start many wished for as we have all been forced to endure further lockdowns and disruptions to our businesses and daily lives. However, there is much needed light on the horizon and a belief that ‘normality’ is inching closer to returning. For Goffs, that will mean a return to our traditional sale dates at our complexes in Kildare and Doncaster, something about which we are very excited. Until then, we remain determined to find ways to provide vital sales for the Bloodstock Industry – something we have worked tirelessly to provide over the last 12 months. For our new March Sale, that means a return to our proven Goffs Online platform which has seen close to €8 million worth of business being conducted via the medium over the last year. January’s Online Sale was very well supported and clearly illustrated the growing appetite for online sales in the current climate as it produced the three highest prices achieved by any online sale in the UK and Ireland in 2021. It also illustrated its ability to sell elite bloodstock with three six-figure lots and a £300,000 top price. Like the online January Sale, the March Sale will be a timed auction, meaning we offer the catalogue without an auctioneer over a set period of time with all bids being made through Goffs Online. Those wishing to bid online at the March Sale must register with Goffs no later than Monday 22 March. Please do not hesitate to contact any of the Goffs team should you require assistance with any aspect of the March Sale and especially if you have any queries in connection with Goffs Online; our personal numbers are on the following pages and we are at your service. Alongside all of this we guarantee the same terms of business and consistently high standards of integrity and transparency that are the hallmark of all Goffs sales regardless of format and location.
