Yes and no.
They're not like "lil old me, just sellin' my wares on my site for a fair price..." they've become as much a technology company and a media company as they are a used bike company.
Just an onslaught, full court press on Google shopping results, Instagram, Facebook, the ads on many websites. If you use the internet, you will be force fed TPC listings without even trying.
Even my favorite Youtubers and bloggers have gotten kickbacks from TPC to show off a new-old bike they got through them.
It's just weird to be fed all this stuff to be led to a... $2000 second tier Colnago with a patch job repair. According to their own intake criteria they don't even make offers on repaired carbon bikes so how and why did this one get through?
