Good source for cheap campers

[Txfire409]

I have no affiliation with this company but thought it might be good info to pass along for those looking for an inexpensive deer lease camper. It's called Copart and is an online auction type company. They have locations all over and you can go view items before bidding. Some of their stuff is junk but alot of it is in good shape and sells for alot less than value. I recently bought a mid 90's camper with a salvage title for flood damage for only $850 in one of their auctions and I can find no evidence of water damage in it anywhere. Everything in it works including the a/c, fridge, and all plumbing. The website is copart.com and you obviously have to sign up to bid on items. Hope this helps someone out there needing a cheap camper.

I have a friend that works for them. I asked her about buying campers from them and she said I had to have a dealer's license and jump through all sorts of hoops to do it. She said it's not worth the trouble to most people. Are you saying I can just sign up online and buy?

That's what I did and I dont have any kind of dealers license.

yes, that's exactly what I did. like i said before, mine has a salvage title due to flood damage but i cant see where it ever had any water in it. im going to be living in it at my lease.

Did you have to use a broker at all for anything and were there any fees on top of the end bid?

No, I did not have to use a broker. I did everything myself. There were some other fees involved after the sale that brought the total price to right at $1200 after a winning bid of $850. To me it was still a very good deal. All of the fees are explained on the website.
