Recent experiences/advice regarding brokers for Copart auctions?

I'll add a little more...

My IAA auctions are Tues Mornings.  You have 2 business days to pay and 4 business days to remove the car.  

If I win a car on Tues, the car must be paid for by Thursday end of day.  So, with the details that come with my IAA on-line reciept I go to the bank and do a wire transfer.  Lets say I do that wire transfer Thurs Morning.  What the wire transfer does is sends money to IAA directed to my specific bidder number account.  We all here are the type that buy one car at a time (though one week I ended up with 3.)  The IAA system is set up for junkyards and body shops that buy 15 to 150 per week.  

So, just because my money arrives to IAA Thursday afternoon, there is one more step.  I then have to log into IAA and from my account I have to assign which car to pay for.  Easy if you're only buying one car but it is not automatic if just buying one car.  

The main point being, just because IAA got my money Thursday, if its not until Friday that I assign the money to the specific car then I will be considered a late payment for that car.  I think it is $40 per day of late payment.  Net result, a $40 ding before the car will be released.  

4 days to pick up or $50 per day late fee:
For me, this means I have to pick up Tuesday auction cars by Monday's end of day.  IAA does not offer weekend pick-up.  
A caveat...If you sign up for delivery via IAA, IAA does guarantee the shipping price they offered you (in Brian's case $87) but they do not guarantee the car will leave the lot in 4 days.  However, since you are paying IAA for shipping and left the routing in their hands there is no $50 per day late fee if the car remains on the IAA lot past the 4 days.  

So, if you are personally at risk of not getting to the car quickly, and at risk of 2 days of $50 each, the shipping to Brian's is a cheaper route. 

Oh for BERK's sake.  I got everything figured out and decided to pull the trigger on the car- but since I WASN'T certain I would be buying a car from them hadn't paid the $200 to register. So I go through the registration progress and... still can't bid. I then get an email saying "document review for registration typically takes 48 hours..." 

The buy-it-now expires in 21 hours, and the auction itself ends in 32 hours. 

So now I get to call their customer service first thing in the morning see if I can get them to expedite it so I can actually buy the car. 

Additional random thought...

Any time you are on IAA property, weather it be previewing or picking up, they insist that you be wearing Hi-Viz, like a vest.  No, they will not loan you one.

Well... no turning back now. I was able to get in touch with their customer service and get my account confirmation expedited so I could bid/buy on the auction. I then went back and forth about whether to use the buy-it-now and pay the 'full' price for it or to wait and just enter that amount as my bid amount in the hopes that a) the reserve was set lower than the buy-it-now, b) nobody would bid more than that (unlikely as they'd have just used the buy-it-now), and (most likely) c) nobody else would buy it for the buy-it-now price before it went to full auction.
