Offers received

The offers received on one of your auction sales: who bid, and how much. The highest first.

One opens this window by the Offers link, next to the price, in Horses sold and Matings sold. It only shows: there is nothing to decide in it.

Only on an open auction

The link does not appear on a blind auction, and that is intended: you chose that formula so that nobody would see the offers, and the rule holds for you too. You will discover the result at the award, like the bidders.

It is the price of the formula. A blind auction often brings in more on a coveted horse, but it deprives you of the pleasure — and of the information — of watching the offers climb.

What the list teaches you

Whether your minimum price was well placed. A lot of offers bunched just above the minimum: you had aimed too high and the buyers settled for the floor. Offers very spread out: your horse is of interest, and the market does not know how to value it.

Who follows your sales. The same nicknames come back from one auction to the next. Those are your regular buyers, and they are the ones a reserved sale will please next time.

One offer only, or none. The signal is clear: the minimum was too high, or the horse is of interest to nobody at that price. In either case, there is no point putting the same sale up again unchanged.

What it does not say

An offer displayed is not a guaranteed offer. At the deadline, the game retains the best bidder who can really pay: a bidder may have spent their balance in the meantime, and their offer will be set aside — with a 10 % penalty for them.

So do not count your sale on the best offer displayed. The price obtained may be lower, if one has to go down the list.
