Ledger entry: Independent Auction Group (IAG) — classified auction-association.
Location: National coalition of independent automotive auction marketplaces (independentauctiongroup.com).
Claim / role: IAG unites independent auction owners under shared resources, market intelligence, advocacy, and tech — 'the power of local ownership, the reach of global commerce.' Emphasizes hybrid physical/digital lanes, faster turns, and owner-operator service culture versus pure corporate yards. Buyer takeaway: IAG members are still individual auctions with their own fee cards, sale days, and arbitration policies — check the specific yard before you bid.
