Due to having our Thursday sale pulled out from under us we
are in deep poo for Friday…way too many cars, spectacular stuff, but way too
many. Manheim has made it impossible to
get reasonable numbers for Friday so the vast majority of our cars will be
running deep into the afternoon. The
no-sale kings have pretty much chewed up all the numbers that show any respect
(as insane as that seems) which leaves us out to dry.
We have well over 650+ cars running, no match for the volume
and selection anywhere else in North America, and 500 of the will be running after
the rest of the sale is over.
A select three hundred car Thursday afternoon sale is the
answer but we need to find a host. Since
what I consider my home auction is unwilling to do it I am working a a solution
that will be good for all of us. It
seems simply impossible to believe that we have to do this as any auction in
the universe would do anything to host us, or at least give us numbers on a
regular day, but this is the dilemma I have to find a solution to, and I will.
That said, Friday should be a perfect storm for a buyer to pay attention because we have absolutely
wild merch form the lowest mile and
highest price to the opposite extreme, all logically laid out. This is a grouping impossible to find anywhere or cumulatively anywhere. Regards of circumstance you will participate
as a buyer or observer in as close to an absolute sale as has ever been
offered. These hotdogs are going to have
new owners by Friday afternoon.
The sale begins at 9AM in lane 24, 500 units, and will be running until 5PM. There are 350 low mile, spectacular imports
in this lane. All Car Fax cautions are
clearly marked, grouped at an appropriate time of the lane not to confuse the “creamer”
buyer. As all of you know I am not in
the hit and run business, I disclose what might make you look and feel stupid. There are 50 in lane 6, all domestics, all
clean Car Fax, and all low mile fat units that start to run afternoon starting
on #116 ( they take forever in that lane with dog and pony shows that’s why
they only run 35 units per hour. Lane 24
will be on number 240 at the same time of the day…go figure). Lane 23 we have 100 domestics that begin
around 12:30. These are units that are a
bit higher mile domestics that are exactly what the used car dealer and
mid-west dealer is dying for.
Got to go get ready for the show. Do your research and put in the proxies. Oh and go to BidNez.com to participate in a
process that help you see what is for sale, what you think it’s worth, and then
based or you bid, proxy or activated proxy, get your results back to help you
understand reality…and if you are good, get paid. You got it, get paid, you the user, not the
dealership. If you wi, you gat
paid. Go to BidNez, log in and bid on
whatever you want to bid on. Your bid
can be activated if you want it to be or just part of the pricing process. Either way it counts on your score to see if
you are a winner. it costs nothing to
participate and you will love it.
