The current auction of privately held Everton Shares being run by Asset Match is showing a very interesting spread of prices.
Historically, the price at which Everton shares changed hands in previous auctions has declined slightly, from £3,700 in 2023 to £3,400 in 2024:
However, these auctions came before The Friedkin Group takeover of Everton Football Club in December 2024 that brought with it a remarkable devaluation of the shares, with the issue of millions of new shares to Roundhouse Capital at the remarkably low price of £175.
The current auction sees a huge spread, with one seller hoping to sell their single share for £2,250, while another has 20 shares on offer at £600.
On the buyers' side, there is an order for 1 share at £2,000, 1 at £511, and 20 shares at £500.
Leveling all this out, Asset Match have set the current indicative price at £600 per share, with a total of 21 shares set to change hands when the auction closes next week on 18 February.
Although perhaps not quite as bad as it could be, this auction appears set to crystalise the fears expressed when it became clear that the value of privately held shares would likely be decimated.

"Yay. I just bought 1% of my club".
And?
This is the state of modern game where this makes a bigger headline.
Fulham £45m v Everton 90m
May be 65 and now out of touch and so be it.
Must bet on who buys whatever. Any "tips" where can we do that?.
And with many here getting on, are we blinded by this shite. And sadly, me too on match day.

For most minority shareholders its an emotional hold.
I think whoever inherited poor old Kenwright's shares as the biggest minority shareholder has taken a significant haircut and appears to be still holding.
That must be a whole other level of emotional rollercoaster!

Or can the sellers pull out if their price is not met?

I think, once you lodge an order, either to buy or sell, you are committed to complete the transaction at the ultimate price set in the auction. I think it applies to all transactions, up to the limit obviously of the number of shares being sold.
Now how they reach that price... there must be some nifty algorithm that levels out the cumulative selling and buying prices and the number of shares at each price.

So it sounds like no matter what price you want, or bid, the auctioneer determines the selling price.

I'm not seeing anything at his website. Guess I need to listen to start listening to his podcasts again.
