Copart/Crashedtoys? Brokers? Experiences?

[scootergmc]

Anyone here a copart broker? Experience using one? Experience with copart or crashedtoys? Positives? Negatives?


I ask because I'm looking for a beater grom or z and stumbled across a 2003 Kawi 636 I purchased brand new and subsequently sold. It doesn't look too worse for wear, but at the right price I'd buy it again. Trouble is, it's license (broker/dealer) only auction and I'm not. Copart says use a broker. However, copart fees (not including any broker fees) seem to compound rather quickly and rapidly escalate depending on hammer price, so when everything is said and done, I think I'd be better off buying a beater off CL. If not for the romantic in me, I wouldn't even consider it. Opinions?

Thanks.

Careful, with this. There may be leins against the bikes, they may be stolen and never had the DOJ stop removed, they may be parts only, and the broker you hire may be a crook.

Remember Motopia? I believe their troubles began when their broker purchased bikes at auction that wound up being stolen.
