Community calendar thread. The short version for newcomers: Copart and IAA yards each run their own weekly sale days — check the location page for your lot and note the preview window. Manheim runs dealer-only sale weeks; we can't walk those lanes, but the results shape every used car price in the country a week later, so watching the reported numbers is free homework.
Post the yards you're watching and any date changes you spot — the thread stays useful when members keep it current.
