Peer-to-peer platforms like Craigslist, Airbnb, and Uber have led to the creation of Crowd-Based Capitalism and it's fundamentally changing every industry. These platforms have allowed people and businesses to decentralize purchasing from traditional establishments and the same is true for sourcing used vehicles. Dealers no longer have to travel to a physical auto auction, they can purchase inventory direct from other dealers anywhere at any time, bypassing the time and fees associated with physical auctions like Manheim or ADESA. The DealersLink Marketplace app provides dealerships access to over $1 billion in used-car inventory that they can purchase directly from other dealers anywhere at any time without having to pay auction fees.
