Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

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. Sent from my iPhone > On May 26, 2018, at 9:42 AM, Mitch Haley via Mercedes > wrote: > > >

Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

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

Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

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. -D > On

Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

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. Sent from my iPhone > On May 26, 2018, at 8:31 AM, Dan Penoff via Mercedes > wrote: > > Screw that. So the rules are

Re: [MBZ] CoPart weirdness

Screw that. So the rules are based on where the vehicle is titled? Otherwise, I’m out. Makes no sense to use a broker for the stuff I would be interested in. -D > On May 26, 2018, at 9:20 AM, Kaleb C. Striplin via Mercedes > wrote: > > That is correct. You would

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

[MBZ] CoPart weirdness

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
