Let me rephrase that, is says to upload a business license or ID.  When 
I go to my account page on licenses, it says the image I uploaded is 
pending, so I bet I will have to wait until tomorrow to bid.  Hopefully 
they get it processed.  I should have done it last week!


They have a licensing page that you can click on your state and OK says 
you do not need a business license to bid on cars listed there, same 
with LA.

I have highly interested in the rod bender.  The carfax lists an oil 
consumption test at around 160k miles, which is right in the rod 
bending time frame.  Since it is a 1 owner car, there could be a 
chance the engine was replaced around that time.  Especially since the 
engine is so clean from what I can tell.  It also appears to have some 
sort of sticker on the valve cover, which I have not seen before.

Throw a lowball bid on that Tulsa Bluetec like I said.
Worst thing that can happen is you get stuck with a $500 Bluetec.

If it takes your bid, the problem is with the rodbender listing.
If it won't take your bid, the problem is your account isn't authorized.
If you didn't upload your license when they were open last week, 
that's probably the problem.

So why does that lot remain when when I click the 'no license required' 
checkbox in the upper left of the search screen?
I say call the Baton Rouge yard in the morning and ask them if it's supposed to 
be dealer only.

I guess the screen shot did not show up.

When I click on the offer button I get the exact same thing as you.  
When I put in an amount and click submit I get this


Due to licensing restrictions you are unable to bid on this lot. However 
the following options are available for unlicensed buyers

PS where do you filter by no license required?

Insurance auto auctions makes it clear who can bid in the auction listing.
At CoPart, the best I can usually do is filter a search for 'no license 
required' and see if it disappears, or sometimes I'll put a lowball bid on 
something just to see if I'm allowed to bid on it.
When I hit the 'no license' checkbox on my watchlist, that SD remains, so it 
should be biddable with no license, assuming you are enabled for bidding.

What happens if you throw a $225 bid at this one?
