Copart is most definately NOT a scam.They are in fact an insurance salvage pool that is actually listed on the New York Stock exchange and has been for years.They have salvage pools in most every state in the USA.
I have hauled into and out of many of them over the years and have bought from them as well.
If it is listed as donated it is because ( and those of you who claimed it was a scam read very carefully ok) they also sell vehicles.boats campers etc. that are donated to charities like United Way to be resold for those charities.
NOW,read this part carefully as well.If you see a great deal on a pop up for 125.00 it might just be a great deal and I have bought many great deals from them over the years,BUT DO YOUR HOMEWORK because on top of that 125.00 are fees that can easily total another 300 or so and the item has to be removed within something like 5 days or there is a 20.00 a day storage fee.
Not all states in Copart business areas allow private persons to buy directly,meaning you have to go thru a licensed agent and that throws another fee into it and then of course you need to get in there quick and pick it up or get it transported,remember the storage fees and they don't budge on those.
Send me a private message if I can help you further but do your homework and ask questions before you bid on anything at a Copart so you don't claim you were scammed with extra fees after the sale when you have been told about them.They are there in the fine print on their site.
With that said,Copart is not my favorite place to do business but I will always consider them if it is a great deal and the fees are reasonable and I know I can get into that yard and get it out quickly.They have actually bought many of the crashed toys yards over the years.
Also keep in mind that many of their items have a reserve so just because your high bidder doesn't mean you will win.
I hope my many,many years of experience with them has helped you and others.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK !!!
