Default Will auctions eventually take place with no bidders at the auction?
Does anyone think car auctions will continue, in the short term, if the bidders are all online or telephone, or will the auctions just continue to be postponed? I know the closest auctions had already been postponed, but how long can the auction houses continue to do that?!?!

Can’t answer that, but after attending a few b-j auctions, I know I wouldn’t bid on cars without a close in-person inspection!

Postponed sales should be countered by a surge as things return to normal?

I expect there are plenty of sellers hoping to capitalize on this exact scenario.

There was a 400 plus auction in Florida that went to Proxi-bid only this weekend. Can't remember the company name.

Bring a Trailer has been doing that all along. For them it is business as usual.
