Late night driving last night. To fill TV time, the selling pace was very slow. Auctioneers work the crowd to get as much as they could for the seller. 400+ cars get sold today, so we’ll be rocking’.

The old R&S sight has become an overflow parking area for BJ. Lots of car haulers are parked there now.

Not all of them are cool, but I make the best of every situation.

Sounds like poor planning on the sellers part if it doesn't start to get across the auction stage. In the whole scope of things what does a new battery co$t? A LOT, if it doesn't project a good image to a potential buyer, and you know what they say:, "You only get 1 first impression"

All too many times a dead battery is the byproduct of people climbing in and out of these cars like it's a ride at the state fair. People who will never bid on a car have to jump in, look around, take pics of their wife.......etc, etc. All the while lights of one type or another are left on.

I know there are site members who sell a fair amount of cars in this manner. I have no idea how they tolerate it!
