It’s only Wednesday and we have 600 units ready for sale this Friday. 

I spent the last couple days watching sales all over the USA (as I always do to be sure we are on top of our game and that there is nobody no place that is close) and have come to a few conclusions:

1.        We are the only source in the USA that have fresh, massive volume, not 10 not 50, not 100, not 200, not 300, but 650 units, primped and ready (every week)

2.       We are the only lane in the USA that sell every car regardless of outcome

3.       We are the only source that actually arranges our merch to meet your needs and not waste your time

4.       We are the only source that declares on every unit the state of the history report, good or bad (it takes balls)

5.       We are the only source that brings only first time to an auction merch 52 weeks per year, for four decades

6.       We are the only source that actually considers the buyer outside the rules set by the NAAA

7.       We have the highest quality auctioneers in the bidnez for speed, clarity, determination, and integrity

And now, beginning August 8th, 2013, we will be running a sale on Thursdays.  It is a sale that runs the week the High Line is not running.

 Even though I sell 30% of all dealer cars sold, I am not able to get numbers.  We simply have too many cars to wait for a high line and it is  impossible to get numbers on Friday.

The only solution I see is to have a special sale, our sale, on Thursdays, the opposite Thursday of the High Line,  just for you with the following as my commitment to you:

1.       No other lanes running, just like a factory sale of the old days

2.       Totally organized merchandise and everything getting sold

3.       Full disclosure with Spotters available to answer any questions you have on specific units, equipment or paint meters

4.       No confusion, if you need help after the sale we are staffed to do whatever you need done.

5.       Transportation  assistance, no lost cars

6.       Food that a fat man will love

7.       Fun, like real fun, not fake fun, fun (remember that?)

8.       Access to inventory and a selling philosophy that simply doesn’t exist anywhere else on the continent (which includes anywhere) and if you can show me anything even close, I will give you a $10,000 gift certificate.

Now, cruise the 600 we have for this Friday.  Great stuff and in fact nothing like it in the country.

Then, figure there will be twice the merch and similar quality and start making your travel arrangements for the 8th of August.  I promise you, you will not be disappointed.
