Reply to Anyone have experience at the Philly Car Auctions? by Stevekane42

They happen every Monday Wednesday and Friday at various PPA lots.

You have to think about why the cars are there in the first place. Some, are there because people cannot afford to get them out. Those are marked as live stopped vehicles (they were impounded while they were moving).

Most, were idle and towed to the lot and no one claimed them. Most likely, those you want to stay away from because the person responsible for it felt like it didn’t make any sense to get it out.

The used car salesmen are the best at this. They run the auctions most cases. But, they have a budget and will only spend but so much time on a car cause they need inventory.

Slim chance to get a winner, but you have a chance nonetheless

There is a generation of people who feel like they can shoot and rob anyone at anytime because they don’t fear any consequences. God pray for Philadelphia because we need it

RIP young man. and let’s not let his murder be in vein. Never again can we allow this culture of killing fester into the societal cancer it has become

I endorse this. I’m not a doctor (NP), but I work for a surgeon and see 100% of his post-ops. We absolutely could not do our jobs without the admin support staff. Surgical schedulers work miracles! The front desk is the face of the health system. I could go on and on. They need to be paid more and treated better. (Patients also need to be accountable for how they treat them, but that’s another story.)
