Could you build this?
Partial Saved searches, alerts on Telegram and iOS, and the web UI are straightforward. Getting auction listings, hidden photos, sold history, and window stickers from IAA and Copart requires scraping past anti-bot defenses or licensed data, and that is the core asset.
What it would actually take: A scraper and ingestion pipeline for IAA and Copart listings, with a search and alert engine and notification bots. The hard parts are reliable data acquisition under heavy anti-bot measures, legal exposure from scraping, and building a historical sold-price dataset that takes time to accumulate.
