Wildlife Online Auctions bring new dynamics

SA Auction Group’s brand new division, Wildlife Online Auctions, hosted their very first online auction of game during the end of February and proved that the game industry is currently experiencing a unique buzz. 
 
The online approach for selling game takes the industry in an even more dynamic direction and this means that a trusted relationship between the auctioneer and buyers are of utmost importance.  Rudi Herbst, Managing Director of SA Auction Group, says that it is vital to assist any potential bidder in whatever enquiry he or she may have.  He adds that online game auctions have the potential to change the industry for the better, only if the auctioneer accepts the responsibility to put buyers at ease and build trusted relationships in the process.
 
When game breeders and game farmers are looking at selling, their first step is to contact a reputable auctioneer who they can trust at handling the process professionally and in a way which will maximise bid prices.
 
When buying game, there are many ways and places to buy.  Seeing that we are looking into the wildlife online auctions here, let us look at a few advantages of such auctions.  Firstly buyers need not travel long distances to attend the auction as the online auction allows them to bid from the comfort of their own home or office.
 
Secondly, the animals are not confined to a boma for long periods.  In most cases the animals are at their new home on the same day as capturing.  Prospective buyers can also view the animals in their natural habitat before or during the auction if desired.  “We are always keen on buyers viewing the animals before bidding as to feel more comfortable on their prospective purchases”, says Rudi Herbst.
 
Those in love with the game industry can certainly benefit by the advantages offered by online auctions.  SA Auction Group has taken up responsibility in furthering the wildlife online auctions and is available for free consultations in this matter.
