Default Selling your car using Autoflip

So a friend was selling her 2014 FG2 XR6. Nothing special, just a nice clean, well maintained, Falcon I think it had done around 125kk.
Paid $15k a few years back, so was advertising for $17k, and hoping to get at least $16k.

So had the usual gumnuts and time wasters, and a few low-balling dealers.
Then along comes this mob called "Autoflip".
Quote:
Our team will develop a profile on your car & forward the profile on to our reliable network of dealers & wholesalers.
Our network will bid on your used car & we will call you within 24 hours to let you know the highest bid.
You can have the car picked up & the cash in your bank account within 48 hours.
Sounds like either a scam, or just another one of these schemes that go nowhere.
But they came out, did an inspection, took photos, she listed it with a reserve of $15k, and a day or two later the car is sold for a smidge over $16k. No hassle, no haggling, no messing about.

Anyone else had any dealing with this mob, or similar?

I suppose one take away could be that she under-priced the car, but considering she had it advertised for weeks at $17k, and got only time-wasters, I don't know.
And its hardly the first time where I've had a dealer or wholesaler make a better offer.
