“Night Cap sales” give buyers more opportunities to bid on vehicles at Copart Winday auction. Night Cap sales are held at 6 pm PST (9 pm EST) Monday through Thursday and include the vehicles that did not sell in the regular sale.
Night Cap sales allow for vehicles to be on sale more quickly than if buyers had to wait for the next scheduled sale in that facility.
If the vehicle did not sell during the regular sale, then the vehicle enters the 2nd-chance bidding period, it will also be added to a Night Cap sale. Buyers are able to place preliminary bids on the vehicle until the live Night Cap sale the next evening. If the vehicle goes into 2nd-chance bidding on a Thursday or Friday, the Night Cap sale will be held Monday.
A vehicle is removed from a Night Cap sale if it is sold during 2nd-chance bidding. Conversely, if preliminary bids received in the Night Cap sale reach the seller’s current minimum bid, the vehicle is removed from 2nd chance bidding and will continue to receive bids in the Night Cap sale.

- I placed
an Internet bid received the following message: “We're sorry. You have exceeded
your bidding limits. Your bid cannot be accepted.“
You can place bids according to the amount of your security deposit, which must be a minimum of $400 or 10% of your maximum bid. For example, if your security deposit is $400, you will then be able to bid a maximum of $4,000. If you wish to bid a higher amount, you must increase your security deposit in My Account .
- I just received
an email stating that I lost the bid, but my bid amount was the same as the winning
amount. Why did I lose?
We do our best not to allow ties to happen. However, when they do, it is Copart's policy to award the vehicle to the virtual bidder, not the preliminary bidder. Utilize the Bid Increment option to prevent a tie.
- What is increment
bidding?
Increment bidding authorizes Copart to increase your bid by one and only one increment if a live virtual bidder matches your preliminary bid. Your bid will not be incremented if it is the highest bid.
- What is BID4U?
Copart uses BID4U to make the bidding process easier and more efficient. BID4U represents the highest preliminary bidder during the virtual sale. Simply enter the maximum price you are willing to pay for the vehicle during preliminary bidding and BID4U will bid on your behalf up to your maximum bid during preliminary bidding and during the virtual sale. BID4U will only bid one increment over the current bid to maintain your position as the highest bidder. This allows you to purchase a vehicle below your maximum bid if bidding does not meet or exceed your maximum bid. If you select the bid increment option, BID4U will bid one additional increment over your maximum bid to break a tie. If a bidder with a higher maximum outbids you, Copart notifies you via email. As a security precaution, no one, including Copart associates can see your maximum bid. It is 100% confidential!

bidding?
