Ok, so both wholesalers and retail dealers buy and sell cars at auctions. If a wholesalers buys, it is with the intent to flip it to a retail dealer, or to sell it at another auction. The reason wholesalers exist is a physical one; dealers can not attend every auction that exists.

So this can be one scenario? Guy trades car in at dealer. Dealer does not sell it retail, but sells it at auction. Wholesaler buys the car at auction. Wholesaler then sells car to dealer #2, who sells the car retail.
