I've seen a lot of posts about bidding on Copart through one of their recommended vendors - especially posts from people getting burned by companies who wont return the deposits. I signed up with Sanders Auto, which is one of the Copart recommended sites. For a $25 fee (3 months) and a $400 deposit, they will assign a license to you so you can bid - LIVE - on the Copart site. It was very easy to sign up. They have a very professional website. I used it and was able to bid on Copart just like everyone else. I did not win my auctions and ended up finding my donor on craigslist, so I can not comment on the Copart auction fees or any of the delivery problems others experienced. Just wanted to say that my experience with Sanders was good and they refunded my $400 deposit with no problems -- Refunded it the same day I asked.
I can't recall if Sanders charges any additional fees if you win the auction, so check that out. It is all pretty clear on their site. Just wanted to share that it seems like a safe place to do business with. Good luck!
Dr. any way you can give me a call or email me, I am in the last 20 hours and this thing keeps going up and up, I can't help but suspect that somebody is calling by bluff. But is there bid snipe of similar? how do I prevent this from getting away into expensive crazy territory, bidding on the last moment?
Ideas.

Know what you're willing to spend, and bail when the auction goes over it. I bid on a few dozen cars before I finally won one at a price I was willing to bear. Several were right back up on the block the next week, including a few where I was the high-bidder...because the seller is allowed to reject your WINNING bid in all but the "Pure Sale" category. It is surely an exercise in frustration, but be patient and wait for a good deal.
If you absolutely HAVE to get a donor right now, you can probably find one on craigslist for a little more money and a lot less headache.
I also considered buying an engine/harness separately and picking up an N/A impresa because those go DIRT cheap on Copart...couple hundred bucks, for real.
