You really need to review the license requirement page. It will list
who can bid on what based on state and based on what sort of title it
has. In some states, public can bid on anything. In other states,
public can only bid if it has a clear title. In others, public can only
bid if it has a salvage title. This does not seem to depend on what
state the auction if physically located in, it depends on what state the
vehicle is titled in. For example, I once had a car I was bidding on in
Texas which public can only bid on salvage title vehicles. This vehicle
had a clear Oklahoma title so I was able to bid even though it Texas I
could not. I could bid because the title was in OK. I ended up getting
outbid though.

A week ago I put a test bid on an SL500 to see if it was open to public bidding.
Yesterday, when the same car came up for live bidding, complete with the big
red thumbs down symbol to show that I've been outbid on this lot, it says 'you
are not eligible to bid on this item'. Huh? It was a dealer only sale and they
let me place preliminary bids on it?
This was the Ionia auction site, where I bought my ML350 on a preliminary bid
last summer, but I was able to bid on the ML during the live auction too.
