I did work for GL at there HQ here in Phoenix, Totally unvehicle
related. The guy I talked to about it said they pay either 1% or 2% of
acquisition cost. So they are making money but when you buy that triwall
with $150,000.00 in weird crap for $40.00. GL still paid 1% or 2% for
it. Don't get me wrong I love the old days with a live auction MUCH
BETTER!

Nahhhh..they wouldn't do that.....would they.??? :-)
I do know for a fact..that without "live auctions" the US Government --
you
and I...are losing millions.!!
GL is not bringing in near as much as they should... Over 70% of the
buyers
that used to buy at the auctions do not have computers...and they "ARE
the
BUYERS"...or --WERE....
