BirdDog Sourcing: A private-seller pipeline for Chicago dealers
BirdDog Sourcing says it finds local private sellers whose cars match a dealership’s buy box, checks details, and books appraisal appointments at the dealer’s store.
- For
- Chicago-area car dealers seeking private-party inventory
- Worth noticing
- The site explicitly says its buy-box board is illustrative, not live inventory, sourcing activity, client evidence, or results.
Field notes
Dealers specify makes, models, years, mileage, and price range; BirdDog says it finds nearby private sellers, checks vehicle details, asking price, and permission to contact, then schedules an appraisal at the store. The page lists a $1,500-per-month, month-to-month Founding Pilot and describes weekly reporting by appointment, show, purchase, and stock number; its displayed board is explicitly illustrative, not live activity or client evidence.
