Harnessbid.com, a new online trading site for Standardbred bloodstock, has officially launched with a mission to revolutionise how harness racing horse trading is conducted.
A release announcing the launch on Wednesday stated that, "HarnessBid is a game-changer for the Standardbred bloodstock industry, providing buyers and sellers with an easy-to-use online platform that offers global reach, unparalleled transparency and convenience for its customers."
What sets HarnessBid apart from other horse trading and auction platforms is the zero commission on any sale conducted through its services.
HarnessBid provides a range of services to horse owners and trainers looking to buy or sell their Standardbred bloodstock. Sellers can create a profile for their horse, including photos and videos, and list the horse's relevant information, such as pedigree and racing history. Buyers can search the site's listings and find the Standardbred that best fits their needs, with the option to filter their search by a range of criteria, including age, breed and location.
Having partnered with pedigree experts, "The Breeders Bible," HarnessBid offers a user-friendly interface that makes it easy for buyers and sellers to navigate the platform.
HarnessBid also offers users a range of other benefits, including access to a global network of buyers and sellers, secure and reliable payment options and a team of experienced professionals to support the buying and selling process.
"We are thrilled to launch Harnessbid.com and offer a new, innovative solution for Standardbred bloodstock trading," said John Curtin, the founder of Harnessbid.com and an international bloodstock agent. "We believe that our zero commission model, coupled with our global reach, commitment to transparency and user experience, will make Harnessbid.com the go-to platform for buyers and sellers alike."
HarnessBid offers users of its platform simple pricing options to make their experience less complicated. Users can opt for a generic one-off fee of $175 USD (approxiately $230 CAD) for the duration of their listing, with affordable add-ons to further enhance the profile of their listing. Alternatively, HarnessBid users can also take advantage of the Premium Membership for $99 USD annually, which gives users a raft of benefits, including a $75 USD discount on the standard listing fee price, social media and newsletter promotion of listings and access to an extensive sales history, to name a few.
Buyers and sellers alike can register their profile on harnessbid.com today.
