Copart Fees & Total Buying Cost | CB500F Wrecked Bike Rebuild - E2

[@kastimizillion]

LOL, your last video convinced me to sign up on Copart. Was just going to dig into what the auction costs are. Now you saved me some time. Thanks HD!

[@HooptieDoodle]

I know! It's just not easy to find a steal. I am still optimistic that this route will yield value. (Fingers crossed)

Great job, I am glad other people have the means too pass this along. I don't have the means to acquire many bikes, but I have had some great bikes for a lot of watching, & some work. Been riding over 50 years.

[@HooptieDoodle]

Thanks. This bike was an experiment to see if Copart was a good idea. Here is the video on the finished bike and costs: kzbin.info/www/bejne/qXy0gH-gfNGIf9k

[@pokojoe9741]

Great Video, thanks. I just won a 2013 Ninja 650 bid on IAAI for $650, but the total costs came to $978.plus DMV and sales tax. I was a little surprised at the amount and am not sure if I want to go through with it. I should have done my homework.

[@codyglade899]

good video bro, FYI you can get a motorcycle trailer at U haul for $20 for a full day

[@worldhello1234]

@3:16 Quite unreasonably so, because why is the only bidding fee not a flat rate? Do they online servers have to work harder for a Bentley than for a motorcycle? @11:41 Yes, but rebuild doesn't mean good or decent. If you have done it yourself, you know what you have.

[@301susana]

You're good! You get right to the point. So...I subscribed.

[@HooptieDoodle]

I SUPER appreciate that 😀

[@warlock.420]

The amount of $ you're spending on that bike is way more than I spent on my car, and that's with the $ I spent to replace the battery wires plugs upper intake manifold lower intake gaskets water pump brakes and radiator. That's just crazy.

[@jamesstewart2560]

If you have a vehicle for under $2000 it must be a shit box 😂

[@therustyduck5400]

For the low price you paid, what about parting it out? I would think, the motor would sell for what you have into it. I have 2 coparts within 30 miles from me, and was just thinking.....

[@HooptieDoodle]

I have had similar thoughts, but my experience trying to sell motorcycle parts has also been discouraging. There doesn't seem to be much demand for parts in my experience. Perhaps if you sold online, shipped cross country, and were willing to hold onto parts till you got your price. I've still got a bunch of grom parts😀

[@marineandhisrifle]

A Salvage titled vehicle is valued at 50% of Blue book Not 30% less. And THEN condition is taken into account.

[@kennethhacker3014]

Agreed... great presentation

[@marcelhartman]

Cool project. Hope the frame is still straight.

[@HooptieDoodle]

Thanks. The frame appears to be in good order.

[@tazydevil1379]

Your video helped me out a lot 😎👍

[@HooptieDoodle]

Nice! 💪

[@michaelprentice9779]

So the " BUYER FEE" .... How is that calculated? Is it a % of the winning bid price? Is there a chart that shows prices ranges and fees?

[@mendingmotos]

Going to be doing some copart shopping

[@HooptieDoodle]

Good luck!

[@MotorvriendenDePallieters]

I think you will adjust it, back to stock is boring 😜. And a cafe racer would be fun 👍

[@HooptieDoodle]

It seems like custom might be the more economical path to a working bike.

[@martinlopezpgara5treestart263]

thanks for being honest .

[@christopheravery5808]

Harley Davidsons retain their value a little better and you can get some of the newer bikes SUPER CHEAP compared to their "new prices". There is definitely some profit to be had of you fix and flip those versus sport bikes. That might be something to consider

[@HooptieDoodle]

Those are some good points. Harleys are also plentiful. I'll have to take a closer look at those - thanks!

[@radrock6249]

What did you end up doing with the Honda CB 500?

[@HooptieDoodle]

I am riding it! I still have a few mods I want to do to it before its finished. I quite like it👍

[@radrock6249]

@@HooptieDoodle can't go wrong with a Honda.👍

[@SeymourBalz]

Sounds like you didn't do an estimate BEFORE, bidding.

[@joeabbott7839]

Thank for the facts

[@45AMT]

Well at least you didn't pay sales tax. As an out of state buyer I'm exempt from sales tax. They charged me anyway but said since i was exempt they'd refund me. Calling customer service. They gave me an email of which nobody will respond. Rip off.

[@wolleetkikens]

Where the heck in NY did you get Gas for $2.39 😂😂😂 no seriously it's like $2.60 something at bjs and I thought that was a deal!

[@Immad1337]

Pamela Keyes still $4 out here in commiefornia.

[@HooptieDoodle]

I know a guy😄.

[@wolleetkikens]

$4... Ouch... That is painful...

[@Immad1337]

Pamela Keyes I’m convinced it’s how they keep people from leaving.

[@lastkingof9971]

Alabama gas is 2.27 😂😂

[@Themayor88]

Customize it!

[@serviceproper]

No idea what you're talking about. Maybe for this little pos it isn't worth it. However there's other vehicles & motorcycles that are. To say as a whole Copart isn't a good place is a stupid assumption.

[@musica51502]

She sounds nice

[@HooptieDoodle]

It does sound nice. Has an aftermarket exhaust of some kind.

[@kiesha104]

Custo, buddy.... Custo....

[@mattshahwan7874]

customize rat rod

[@chadbushnell4132]

Cafe racer, for sure.

[@willieboy8798]

do you think these people are in business to do favors?? you factor that into the price! edit you did good on your video but it is worthless for anything other than restorers .... i did like your detail in costs but you forgot years of enjoyment in riding it!

[@giliocervantes6793]

This bikes all in probably cost over 5K adding the travel time and Mechanical work. Not worth the hassle, Buying copart junk.

[@HooptieDoodle]

That's what my girlfriend says

[@giliocervantes6793]

Man buying something that is gonna cost more than a regular bike.. then selling it will be a problem with salvage title plus dealing rebuilding it., a wrecked bike no thank you compare prices salvage vs regular bike adding the copart fees is a no for me.

Scramble Those Eggs

[@davidlewis3171]

Customize!!!! Stock is boring....let your imagination go wild... scrambler would be cool

[@HooptieDoodle]

Scrambler is a great idea 👍

[@iainyoung2677]

He looks stoned

[@dereksmith5551]

Yeah but you bought a cheap shit bike buy a newer Harley or a higher end bike you will make money

[@HooptieDoodle]

I think you may have something there 😀👍
