Interesting, I'd never heard of the site before. I looked and noticed that some sales apparently are for licensed dealers only. If their goal is to maximize the sale price, why do they limit the potential buyers? It doesn't make sense to me.
My understanding is that it's only for licensed dealers/repair shops... or someone with a business license.
A friend had a motorcycle shop and traveled to California many times to buy motorcycles, then he'd haul them back to his shop in WA and piece them together as "race bikes" or part them out on Ebay (selling the remaining good pieces).
They were always insurance totaled/branded title/VIN.
Copart is a huge network of auto-recyclers and does auctions as well.
