I'm trying to understand why Caucasus is different. What's the difference in the buying experience for a retail client versus a dealer client?
There's a big difference. Caucasus Auto Import has a huge sales team, with hundreds of call center operators. They handle promotion and receive a lot of calls. You have to follow your client from choosing the car to the last step, bringing the car to Georgia. With dealers, it's easier. You teach a dealer once, and then they handle everything themselves. Only if there's an issue, like a weather, shipping, or insurance problem, do you intervene. Otherwise, they bid, ship, and pay by themselves. With retail, you have to send invoices, pictures, and assist with bidding.

Pay the membership to whom? To Copart?
Yes, that's why I'm explaining the advantages of working with us. You have to pay the membership to Copart, higher fees, and handle international logistics yourself. What we offer is that you come to Lion Trans, Caucasus Auto Import, or another company and say, "I'm a dealer planning to buy or already buying five cars a month." Our team calculates the logistics costs, and we provide competitive prices for transportation because Lion Trans is officially a transportation company.
