We for a finale to the week we have another 800 in the 17545, lanes 13,15,16 to top it off.  Jamb packed with 100% trade ins. No place else on earth can you find this depth of inventory…no place.   We paid up to get ‘em and now got to take the doe and let ‘em go.  You got a back to back double header on your hands.  Sourced by maniac gambler degenerate workaholics, kissing more butts than should be legal to pinch ‘em (just to make your job as easy as red hot razor sharp knife sliding through butter) and getting pure sold by an obese half Irish, pacemaker wearing, whacko, unable to say no-sale even when he’d pay more for the car he’s selling .   

 We got $20,000,000+ on the line in two days.  Makes your blood run don't it?  God I love this game.

Now we are going to see if the future is here or we are just pushing the envelope.  Tomorrow broadcasting from Manheim Nashville is the first of it’s kind pure simulcast sale.  As I said the other day we have joined hands with Wholesale Inc. to stack up a few hundred units, arranged in logical order depending on the flavor that floats your boat, and priced to sell.  Nice group of merch if I have to say so myself. 

We thank you in advance for your participation, even if it’s as an observer that wants to watch like watching the Great Flying Wallendas preforming high wire acts just to see if they were going to fall.  It’s ok. 

But if you are a car dealer, a buyer, make no mistake we are sellers.  I speak for both our entities in saying you can by with the confidence that we are not looking to hit

 On May 7, this Thursday, we are holding a Simulcast Everywhere special event.  It is hosted by Manheim Nashville and Manheim Pa. It is the first of its kind and  we hope will be held on a regular basis.

 Wholesale Inc and R Hollenshead Auto are blending inventory to make our joint inventory available to all buyers, under the hammer, but a pure simulcast event.  The units are in Nashville and in Manheim, Pa.  All units will have an Insight Condition report that we, the seller’s,  guarantee.  I am subsidizing the cost of transport for buyers that bid from Nashville.  This mutes the concern of where the units are that you are bidding on. 

As always our goal is to sell everything that is presented.  If we are unable to sell because of any reason I will credit the last bidder $100 on any
