A run list is a pre-published inventory list showing which vehicles will be available in an upcoming auction. It typically includes the year, make, model, mileage, and sometimes a condition grade for each unit. Dealers review run lists before a sale to identify target vehicles, research market values, and set their maximum bid thresholds.
Reviewing a run list before an auction is a critical part of a dealer's acquisition strategy. It allows buyers to cross-reference market data tools like ACV Market Report and set proxy bids in advance
