Friday is shaping up to be as balanced as I have ever seen
it, but first let me tell you about the largest wholesale market in the world,
nobody shows up. I have been selling in
the 17545 for 42 years and I have never seen it like it is now. If it weren't for Simulcast, there is nobody
to sell a car to. Either there are
really good places to find cars (that you need a special password to find, I
don’t know what or where it is) or nobody needs them.
I was talking to a dealer from Dallas Friday and IO asked
how the market was. He replied that is
was high as a kite. I asked what he was
looking for after I got up off the floor. He said what everybody says when they
are asked what they want, exactly what doesn't exist with the exception of our
lanes. But break that done; Low mile, good Car fax, no paint work 2010
and down, right color, white or black, (no silver , blue, grey, red, blue), has
to have all the gear, tires fat, and a good service history. In his case Tahoe’s and Impalas. Now when you pop that into perspective and
picture that one unit out of 6,897 units at the sale, how many other buyers
from around the world are looking for that one?
Seems logical that bitch might bring a shot. How about the 6,896 others? So from his perspective the market is “red
hot”. OK, got it. Are you taking notes? And by the way, he’d buy as many as he could
get. He bought 2 on Friday out of the 6,897
offered.
The way I see the market in which I sell 700 units per week
in the sale or on the street is total apathy.
Now I still sold 25% of all dealer cars sold last Thursday and Friday, as I usually do, with
great Simulcast action, but the market
is deader than Kelsey’s balls. The moral
of this story is, This fine piece of literary work written with the finesse of Yogi
B, is pay attention. We have a line up this
week that is balanced, deeper, wider, and fatter than I have ever seen offered
at any sale, anywhere., so pay attention.
We will not be advertising that we say sold…we will be selling, 100%
with no regard to playing games on words or posturing like a real seller. No.
Do yourself a favor and peep the pre-sale. One word to describe it, wild. It’s like Noah’s Arc but we don’t have
animals, we have creamers. And not 2 of each, we have 20 of each, and in some
cases 80 of each.
This line-up is like Macy’s Parade and the Mummers…combined
Pal. If I had your bosses email address and
knew you missed it, I’d send it to him to get you fired. Because if he hired you to fine cars, and you
sleep this one out, he would never keep your silly self around using up oxygen when
that same oxygen could be taking advantage of a dumb Irishman that is nutty
enough to find, buy, prepare and sell $12,000,000 of cars in the market we are
in and, and, and, sell them suckers to the bone. Pay attention. We got them, the market sucks, and we will
sell them, not in word, in deed.
