These are sort of just coming up in popularity in America. They are basically an auto broker, wholesale style. You used to have dealers that got what they could and sold them as high as they could, and brokers who could locate a 69 corvette at a premium price. The ones I've seen just found your car, bid on it wholesale and tack on a flat fee. You get the near wholesale price, they get their profit, and everybody's happy. I think they work off of volume.

The ones I've seen looked a little shady, but probably legit. Since its an auction and you are not provided with any history or information it kinda seems scary to me.
