Absolutely!

IAA and Copart provide a lot of services and storage for the insurance companies. Their lots have literally thousands of vehicles. We see cars all the time that have been at that location for months and have even seen it stretch to well more than a year.

It used to be that the auctions needed buyers and would do quite a lot for them/us. Lunches, shirts, jackets, transportation several different ways, test track to drive the cars, use of jump boxes, etc. That's ALL gone. The sellers are the ones to be courted now and as many charges as possible are thrown onto the buyers.

And the buyers are treated with a mild contempt all too often. Just look at the pretty pictures, make your bids, pay your money, and make an appointment to pick it up.
