How it works
The Dogs de Cholet auction site offers game-worn jerseys and player equipment. Part of the proceeds may go to a charity, shown on each campaign.
1. Create your account
All you need is an email address: we send you a 6-digit code to sign in, no password. To bid you must be 18 or over and complete your profile (name, phone, postcode).
2. Place a bid
The minimum bid is shown on each lot. Increments are €5 up to €100, €10 up to €500, then €25. A bid is binding and cannot be withdrawn.
3. Automatic bidding
You can set a maximum amount. The site then bids for you, one increment at a time, only when someone outbids you, and never above your maximum. Your maximum stays secret.
4. No last-second wins
If a bid arrives in the last 3 minutes, the countdown goes back to 3 minutes. This continues as long as bids keep coming, so everyone has time to respond.
5. You won?
You will receive an email with instructions. Payment is due within 14 days, with no online payment: cash, cheque or card at the club stand during a home game or office hours, or by bank transfer. A QR code lets you collect your lot, or have someone collect it for you. Shipping is available within France and the European Union for a flat fee.
6. Authenticity
Every lot comes with a numbered certificate of authenticity that can be checked on this site with its QR code. During the auction a jersey may be shown as a mock-up, replaced by real photos once it has been collected.
