How can I attend dealer car auctions in Massachusetts?

I know you have to be a car dealer to attend, my question is how do I become a car dealer?

1. It's getting tougher to get your dealer's license. I'm licensed in Fl., and you have to have an "approved retail site," attend a few classes, pass a test, post a sizeable bond, and hang out a shingle. Unless you're seriously committed to it, it isn't worth it. It can be a very rewarding profession, and I really have enjoyed it. It certainly helps to be well capitalized, especially when starting out. You'll find that money just seems to vanish for the first five years. The best recipe for success is L.U.C.K! That stands for Laboring Under Correct Knowledge! It also helps if you like people as much as cars! Good luck to you.
2. I have attended several dealer car auctions and am not a car dealer. Any car dealer actions I have been to you can just walk in, look around, watch the cars sell.. you just can't buy, so you don't have to be a dealer to attend.
