Reducing Upstream/Online “Cherry-Picking” Through Accurate, Scientific Floor Pricing
Consignors often price upstream/online channels at a premium to protect against the downside of under-valuing vehicles. As a result, buyers “cherry-pick” the “better” vehicles (i.e. cars worth the premium) from upstream/online channels, and only the “worse” vehicles are left for physical auctions. To address “cherry-picking”, we developed a statistically-driven, VIN-specific, wholesale valuation model – based on the Manheim Market Report (MMR) and vehicle odometer, damage, content, and exterior color. We used this model to set floor prices on a consignor’s upstream/online portfolio and tracked performance of both sales and no-sales that later sold at Manheim. Compared to the consignor’s own floors, scientific floors reduced “cherry-picking” and improved retention in all channels.
