MADE did it again, 98% SOLD.  Thank you to all participating dealers.  A barn burner that the auctioneer couldn’t stop to take a men’s room break, he said he didn’t want to miss the action.  That comes from a guy that sells all week long, didn’t want to take a wizz, too much fun.  See, I understand that.  I never take a wiz break, don’t want to miss nothing (you were wondering how I stay there 6 hours and not hit the head weren’t you.  Put $14,000,000 of your cash on the line, causes your bladder to freeze up, it’s simple.  When an auction breaks out  and a seller with massive balls is selling, there ain’t nothing like it.  Vegas is for sissies, The Great Karl Wallenda walking the Niagara Falls don’t compare.  The atmosphere is contagious.  Once we get a little blood in the air it’s game on.  God I love it.

The lineup is looking good for tomorrow. On-line bidders are able to take advantage of my personal guarantee, if you have a surprise attack on something that is not what I represented it to be, I’ll make it right…or take it back.  This is nothing new for us, but it is new for many of you that have not experienced it.  We are here to help you find what you need, with no hassle,  waste no time and understand that MADE is a dealer exchange created by dealers, for dealers.  Go the website, MADEaa.com or access it from CFAA.com, lane 8 and lane 7,  do your homework, come to the sale or get online.  Buy with no fear, I am here if you have need us after the sale.  The mitigation folks are instructed to be sure of one thing; all participating dealers will be happy with their experience.  If you are not for any reason, my cell number is 610 960 6346.  This is not a head-fake it is a guarantee, I am here to make the

MADE will facilitate a nice grouping of units to be absolutely sold at Columbus Fair Auto Auction in lanes 8 and seven this Wednesday.  There are 300 units that are there or en route that will have their Universal Condition Report/Pricing done and ready for proxy or live bid today and tomorrow.  MADE Remarketing requires the facilitating locations to charge a flat buyers fee that is the best for buyers in the nation.  That does not mean that the service provided is discounted in any way.  I means we recognize the cost of sourcing cars has blown up to a point it is untenable for dealers.  We also are proud of the irrefutable fact that the units offered in this sale are not available at any other location in North America when we look a volume, transparency, logical arrangement, conversion rate (which requires the seller to sell at a minimum of ninety percent (90%) to ensure participate is far more rewarding and in a class by
