sometimes an "auction" would also be buying it on a wholesale auction. Many times, when a dealer takes a trade-in from a customer, they turn around and sell it on the wholesale auction market.

It's why there's always a random collection of used cars at a new car dealership... half those cars were never sold to that dealer to begin with.
