[Video] How do you sell a car at auction? | GRR
You'd think selling cars at auction is quite simple, wouldn't you? Cars arrive, people wave their arms around, then someone drives away in something shiny. As it turns out, selling a car at auction is much more complicated.

Moreover, getting a good car to auction takes a lot of work beforehand. So how does it all work?
