Vast majority of the used stuff they get are from people and yes, manufacturers, that contact TPC first, not the other way around.....

The utilities in their zillion square foot warehouse, the crew of more than 100 people, plus everything else that makes for their monthly fixed costs...not a small number but I get it..it's a biz you don't like and will never use..10-4...
I predict that TPC business model will fail as time goes on. I just don't see how they can generate enough profit to cover their huge overhead nut. I may be wrong and I wish them well, as it is fun to look at the bikes they have for sale, but when seed money all used up we will see.
