About Market Makers

As you're browsing vehicles and placing bids, you may come across items that require specific licenses in order to buy – licenses you may not have. When you try to bid on a vehicle and don't have adequate licenses on file with Copart, you'll get a list of Market Makers who can help you. Market Makers buy vehicles on your behalf, so you can still purchase the lots you want, even without the appropriate documentation. Remember that when you use a Market Maker, you are buying the vehicle through the Market Maker and not Copart. As a result, be sure to read and understand the Market Maker's additional terms, including payment terms and conditions.

Important Note: It's best to find the vehicles you wish to purchase prior to contacting a Market Maker. Not all Market Makers are eligible to buy vehicles in every state – or every type of vehicle. When you attempt to bid on your selected items, the Market Maker who can help facilitate your purchases will be displayed.

Benefits of a Market Maker

In addition to getting access to vehicles you may not otherwise qualify for, Copart Members using Market Makers can benefit in other ways too. Market Makers are available to answer questions you may have about vehicles and the auction process. Many also provide financing, inspection, parts locating, repair and transportation services if needed.

Market Makers have a physical location, or storefront, for you to visit. You can bid and buy via these Market Makers’ computer kiosks, and experienced staff are on hand to assist you every step of the way.
