The Spirit of Erie

I was born on the shores of Lake Erie, where the winds are strong, the waters fierce, the skies endless and the winters long. From the beginning, I was gifted with sharp eyes to see opportunity far and wide, and wings built to carry me wherever justice and strength were needed.

As I soared across this great nation, I saw a challenge that called to me. Dealers and buyers gathered in markets where hesitation and confusion slowed them down. Fairness was uncertain, decisiveness was rare and arbitration corrupt. That was when I knew my purpose.

I descended from the skies with a gavel in my talons and a promise in my heart. With one strike of that gavel, I brought clarity, authority, and speed to the lanes. My cry of “SOLD!” cut through the noise, delivering certainty where it was needed most.

From that day on, I pledged myself to Greater Erie Auto Auction and took to wearing a badge on my chest — GEAA — which is more than a symbol. It is my oath to guard strength, freedom, and independence for every dealer who enters these lanes.

I am not just an eagle. I am the spirit of Erie and this great nation— bold, patriotic, and decisive. I soar above the rest so that every sale here is fast, fair, and final. At GEAA, freedom isn’t just an idea — it’s the spirit that drives us forward.
