NPA Sponsors MRAA Weekly Ask the Expert Webinar Series for Dealer Week Attendees
MINNEAPOLIS — Feb. 24 — The Marine Retailers Association of the Americas announces National Powersport Auctions has joined as a Partner Member. NPA has also partnered with MRAA to sponsor its weekly post-Dealer Week Ask the Expert Webinar series.
NPA, a pioneering leader in the powersports auction industry since 1990, is expanding its pre-owned remarketing services into the marine market. Based in Poway, Calif., NPA serves lenders and dealers throughout the nation with a complete range of auction-related services. Its weekly live pre-owned auctions are held at 10 sites around the United States, while NPA Simulcast™ technology allows authorized dealers who cannot attend to bid virtually.
“National Powersport Auctions is excited to partner with the MRAA in 2021,” said Damon Puckett, National Business Development Manager of RV & Marine. “As we continue to grow and expand into the marine market, we believe this is an invaluable partnership that will allow us to share with MRAA’s members the benefit of selling and sourcing used inventory through the auction. NPA offers boats and PWCs at all 10 of our nationwide locations, plus has specialists on hand at each facility to properly process each unit with our proprietary 100 pt. condition report. With weekly live and online auctions, members have ample opportunity to buy and sell inventory, track wholesale market trends, and leverage a wealth of additional resources. We are extremely excited about all the opportunities this partnership provides!”
NPA gives registered dealers the opportunity to buy and sell their pre-owned powersport, boat and RV units through its proven auctions. With NPA ValueGuide Plus™ and other resources and benefits, dealers are able to gain insight into vehicle values and projections, down to the specific unit.
NPA continues to sponsor the Ask the Expert Webinar series through Thursday, March 18. The remaining post-conference Webinars, reserved for Dealer Week 2020 attendees, air at 11 a.m. CST on their respective days.
