Do you work at Manheim / Cox?

It was interesting watching the auctions online. What are the pros & cons between being online and in person?

Appreciate the insight into the business from someone on the inside.

I don't work for the auctions, but I am at 6 Manheim sales a week all over the country.

The auctions are dealer only, and if the broker sneaks you in there with him and gets caught he will lose his badge.

The benefit of being at the sale live is you actually get to see the vehicle. The auction condition reports are often completely full of shite. In addition, the auctioneer will often run you up to your max bid wen online. When you have someone experienced there in person, it happens less.
