Index file: National Auto Auction Association (NAAA) — auction-association.
Signals: published URL (naaa.com); address string (5320 Spectrum Drive, Suite D, Frederick, MD 21703); role summary present.
NAAA is the primary US trade association for wholesale auto auctions — 345+ auction members and 100+ associate members. Mission: promote member interests and safeguard the wholesale auto auction industry. Hosts the World Remarketing Convention, condition-report / arbitration training, and partners with ARA on the Spring Remarketing Exchange. Buyer takeaway: NAAA membership is a signal of a dealer-only wholesale marketplace with published standards — still verify sale-day fees, arbitration windows, and title brands yourself.
Finding: addressable industry entity. Residual risk is lot-specific.
Buyer frame: Trade-association membership and association software brands are editorial signals — not endorsements by this forum and not substitutes for title, fee, and condition diligence on the specific unit.
