I think you want to be where the "action" is. Back office is very grunt work and SALES is where the advancement and money is--if a career path is your goal. Sales is where you pay your dues.
 
You might think about starting off in the "post sale" lot, where cars that did not sell are put to see if a bargain can be struck with the closest bidder who didn't meet reserve.

hello i recently start using auto auctions to get into buying and selling of cars so far i haven't had any problems with it. the key to it all is doing your research it will take some time for a person to get the hang of finding a good deal without paying too much or buying a vehicle which you may not profit from. i had a game plan and i did come out on the winning end so far. i don't know about the auctions you mentioned above, but i used the government auction because i really wanted to get the cars i was interested in with less damage as possible and i found it. in stead of going to the usual private auctions i went to the government auction, i even went as far as to making myself a list of things to do before i begin to bid on the car i want. and what worked for me was that i could monitor the car i was budding on online. i took a day for research made my lists of interested cars and began placing my bids. as a first timer in this field i am proud to say i think i can make it work for me with the system i use. take a look at my blogg 10 tips on auction buying http://10tipsonautoaction.blogspot.com/ it have more information on what i did to get my cars at the government auction take a look what work for may may or may not work for you good luck in your research.

Congratulations, Darren. I admire you for your entrepreneurial spirit, and wish you well in your auto business. Question: Why did you make that video, encouraging others to compete with you?

i made the video to inspiration not for competition it was my first time doing it and i was really happy with the out come of it all that i just had to share it with others. their are 50 states in America and i am in Washington DC so the chances are slim that i would have that much competitors in this field and area plus i know what i can profit from when buying from the auctions and also i work in an auto body repair shop so i can get a damaged car and fix it myself for cheap and still profit.
