Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

[Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes]

What I don’t get is that in TX only dealers or brokers can bid on TX CT cars, 
yet in the past I have bought several cars from the CAN donation auction down 
there that had CT.

In theory, I should be able to bid on the MI clear titles and not on the MI 
clear title dealer only cars. But it doesn't work that way in practice, even 
though I overheard one of the counter gals telling another customer that he 
could bid on any car that was CT. 

But what about a MI clear title car that I can bid on one day and not bid on 
another day, which is the case with the SL500 I was talking about?

Understood,  But if I’m bottom feeding, $200 might make the difference between 
whether or not it’s worth it.

Good to know.  Thanks for pointing that out.

Too bad their system doesn’t seem to discern what your status is as a bidder, 
or if it does, not until you try and place a bid.

Well if it’s something worth pursuing that you are interested in, you just bid 
thru one of the brokers and they charge a couple hundred for that.

Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

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.
