I have visited several times now and have yet to find anything interesting.
It seems to be a small time operation to be able to support a Top Fuel Team.
Other opinions?
Am I missing some part of the website or something there?
Just My Observation

with average sales of 5000 cars per day at average fees about $1000 per car = about $5,000,000 per day not really small time

Where did those stats come from?
Coparts own website advertising?
I searched it and did not find much and the days I looked there was less than 20,000 total listings in the entire site shown when I went there. I find it hard to believe with less than 20,000 total listings they sell an average of 5,000 a day. I also do not know what kind of fees they charge but I noted a lot of salvage vehicles which were selling for less than the $1000 average fee you quote.
I just looked and there are 59,106 listings as per the web site right now 12:45 PM CST 6-20-2010.
From my observations I can not make the numbers work.
Am I missing something there?
I just do not understand it.

Remember the Diamond Mine company that jumped in a few yars ago with lots of sponsorships? That was a total scam and this kinda reminds me of it. I could be wrong!
