Hey, we have a new idea. We want to build out a tool. So VAuto has a tool that's kind of like this. It lets a dealership look at all of the private listings where people are listing their cars for sale all over the internet, Facebook Marketplace, Auto Trader, wherever the hell they're listing them. Is it? It lets you see all those listings and then possibly contact them. What if we built and built a piece of software? It can be a separate page. We can start it out separate. What if we built a app that basically It scraped all of the private listings in a given area. We could have it tailored, where we say, okay, let us look in a 50 mile radius or 10 mile radius or 20 mile radius, based on need and based on inventory availability. We build it out to where it goes and looks at all the private listings, takes all of those private listings, looks at the VIN, looks at the Carfax, looks at what the customer is asking, compares that to J.D. Power.

And then it goes okay. These six are worth bidding on because they're basically wanting what is a good value for the cars. What if we built that? Talk about it. Iterate on it. Give this to Copper to look at, and I'll look forward to her texting me.
