Simulcast is a distribution tool
Simulcast increases reach.
It does not automatically increase price.
The outcome depends on:
- Stock quality
- Buyer mix
- Timing
- Presentation
Where simulcast performs well
It works best when:
- Vehicles are easy to assess
- Buyer demand already exists
- Physical lanes are active
- Digital buyers trust the data
Poor setups get exposed quickly.
Common simulcast mistakes
- Sending low-quality stock
- Overloading lanes
- Weak inspection data
- Treating it as a fix-all
Format doesn’t solve fundamentals.
How to decide if simulcast fits
Ask:
- Do buyers already want this stock?
- Is the inspection data strong?
- Is timing critical?
If yes, simulcast can amplify results.
Final thoughts
Simulcast is leverage, not magic.
Use it deliberately.
