Click the 'register' button at the upper right. Once you're registered, you can see the fees and 'upgrades and deposits' in the 'my account' pulldown. They've got a fee for everything. Final value fee and gate fee are unavoidable, and internet bid fee is unavoidable if you aren't at the yard. Then there's the $50 fee to process the title for a non-dealer, and sales tax. In Michigan, they pay the $15 state title fee, so the processing fee is really only $35. You're allowed to bid up to $1000 on up to one car at a time without a deposit. Payment has to be made by credit card online (there's a fee for that), by cash (they only accept up to $400 cash, and only at the location where the car is) or money order (at the same yard as the car). If you want to be able to bid more than $100, you can make a deposit with credit card for no fee. I'm not sure what would happen if you made a $1000 deposit by credit card, then bought a car for $900-1000 with tax. It's possible you could use that as a back door to paying by credit card without getting hit with a credit card fee, if they're just taking the money for the car out of funds you have on deposit. Pickup within one week of purchase, I think it's sooner if you use buy it now, $20 per day for late pickup. The yards near me are open 8am-5pm, five days a week. The tow companies that they deal with have the key code for the front gate, so they can move the car out to the front parking lot during business hours and the transporter can pick up at night. I don't think they'd give you the gate code, but maybe they would. You could just pay the $700 or whatever they want for delivery, but that would nearly double the price of the car.
