The Wholesale Whale marketplace is where licensed dealers can browse live wholesale listings across RV, Powersports, and Marine markets. All browsing is gated by your active dealer licenses — you'll only see inventory for the markets you're verified to access.


🏪 Marketplace Overview

Navigate to Wholesale Market

You'll see:

  • All listings you’re eligible to view based on your license(s)

  • Filtering options across market, unit type, offer range, status, and more

  • Search bar and icons for advanced views

Market Access Rules

You must have a valid, approved license for a specific market (RV, Powersports, Marine) in order to browse and make offers in that category.
Licenses are tied to the account, not the individual user.

Filters & Icons

Located just below the top menu bar:

  • Search Bar – keyword or VIN-based search

  • Filter – open full filter sidebar (unit type, location, age, etc.)

  • "New" Filter – view only new inventory

    • “New” = units added in the last 3 days or that you haven’t interacted with yet

  • "Hotsheet" Filter – view only units that match your saved Hotsheet filters


🏷️ Viewing Listings

Click on any unit to open the Listing Details, which shows:

  • Market icon and Listing ID

  • Current status tags (New, Hot, Offer Submitted, etc.)

  • Photos of the unit if available

  • Offer section

  • Unit specifications and seller-provided condition report

  • Listing details (location, price, delivery terms, seller type)

If you've submitted an offer, you’ll see its current ranking and status here as well.

Understanding the Tags

  • New – Listed within the last 3 days

  • Hot – Matches your Hotsheet filters

  • Offer Submitted – You've already submitted an offer on this unit

  • Connected – You’re actively connected to the seller/buyer for this listing


🔥 Hotsheets

Hotsheets are your saved search preferences. They allow you to:

  • Get quick access to the inventory you care about

  • Filter for specific unit types, ages, or pricing windows

  • Enable proactive dealer-to-dealer discovery

When you click the hotsheet icon, only units that match your Hotsheet filters are displayed.


❓ FAQs

Why can’t I see all inventory?

  • You only see listings from markets you’re licensed for (RV, Powersports, or Marine). Add a license under Settings > Licenses to unlock more.

Can I browse anonymously?

  • You can browse freely within your licensed markets. Your identity is only revealed if you submit an offer and both parties connect.

What makes a listing “hot”?

  • Listings are considered "hot" if they match your Hotsheet filters — these are set up by you under your profile.

Can I save units or follow listings?

  • Currently, you can filter using Hotsheets or submit offers to stay engaged. Save/follow functionality is not yet available.
