At the heart of Wholesale Whale is a streamlined system for submitting, receiving, and managing wholesale offers. Unlike auctions, there are no obligations — only mutual interest triggers a connection, where dealers can then negotiate directly.
💸 Submitting an Offer
From any Unit Details Panel, dealers can submit an offer:
Offer Amount – Your proposed purchase price
Delivery Arrangement – Choose who arranges transport:
Buyer
Seller
No preference
(Seller may enforce a required setting)
Offer Expiration – Optional countdown
Click Submit Offer
ℹ️ There’s no penalty for submitting, rescinding, or letting offers expire.
🟢 Offer Status
Offers are tracked by both buyer and seller, with the following statuses:
Offer Statuses:
Open – Offer has been submitted by the Buyer & received by the Seller.
Connecting – A connection request has been sent, awaiting other party to confirm.
Connected – Buyer & Seller are now connected and now have access to eachother's profiles for contact, details, etc.

🏆 Offer Ranking
Offers are gamified with a Top 5 system:
Offers are ranked by value.
If your offer is in the Top 5, you’ll see a tag once the delay timer clears.

❓ FAQs
Is there any obligation to respond to an offer?
No. But ignoring too many offers can impact your peer ratings and reputation on the platform.
Can I cancel or update my offer?
Yes — you can rescind or re-submit an offer anytime.
What happens if I miss the expiration window?
Your offer becomes Expired. You can still re-submit if the unit is available. If you're the Seller, you won't be able to interact with an expired offer until the buyer re-submits it.
How do I know if my offer is competitive?
If you're in the Top 5, you'll be notified. Otherwise, update your offer to stay in the running.
Do both sides have to agree to connect?
Yes. Both seller and buyer must confirm before any contact information is exchanged.
