Responsibilities included but were not limited to the day-to-day operation of a small boutique dealership. My tasks and self-guided forward-thinking consisted of the evaluation and buying of used collector and rare vehicles to sell at a profit in the retail sector. I will try to describe the process that was consistently effective in the profitability and continued success of the dealership. Searching, observation, and evaluation of various vehicles on dealer auctions and online classifieds for possible purchase for the dealership. Supervised, delegated, and sometimes personally repaired and detailed the vehicles myself. Final pre-photo shoot evaluation before the actual setting, location, and time of day were chosen. The preliminary photo shoot was either inside or outside, and always performed by me.

The Presentation was submitted to an online auction with all pertinent flaws, and details about said vehicle. If and once approved, I worked closely with the Auction Specialist to complete the requested items for final draft submission for my approval. In continuation, once the auction went live, I would try to answer and interact positively on the chosen platform.

Once the auction concluded, I would follow up with the winning bidder on the process and procedures to move forward with the completion of the sale.
