Some people are complaining about it being a sealed bid rather than a conventional auction. It’s simple: bid what you think is a fair price for the item. If you win, great! If not, understand that someone else valued the item more highly and bid accordingly. This method allows CC to receive a fair price, rather than boats being sold for literal pennies on eBay.

Unresponsive to emails so Call. Follow-up to get paperwork. Inspect the boat & take pictures as items may walk before vessel pick-up (some engine sensors in my case). Don't expect insurance company to accurately describe what happened nor condition of boat. In my case, the bid write-up claimed "Boat partially sank at mooring" when in reality it fully sank underway & washed ashore turned turtle. Don't expect any maintenance / care to be done by anyone (even the fridge drawers were full of salt water besides the boat having substantial sand in it). The listed Reserve is not accurate (or adhere to) as I bid more than the listed amount on three boats and they were all still re-listed (maybe my bid tied with someone else?). Sealed bid process appears to result in a lot of "winner's curse" where some folks' surveys appear to have missed major things amok & over-paid in my opinion.

This place is as misleading as a company could be. Bid on a boat but wanted more info, they sent me to the boat owner. Turns out the reserve was 20k higher than what was listed. Called the company and they wouldn’t own up to it. Further there bid process is blind, how can you know where you’re at if you don’t know what the other guy bid? Lastly, their fee structure is insane for a company that simply runs a website and nothing more. I will never attempt to do business with these people again and I’ll encourage everyone I know in the business to avoid this company as well.

Purchased 3 boats but bid on 20 within 1 year....never had isues....CC is not the seller. Bids gets represented to the owner/insurance co... They have to like your bid, not CC... And if your not on top, better luck next time or go somewhere else...Not in cc's hands.. Stop crying over low-ball bid you made, you couldn't the make the purchase.. Beef it up... Show em how much you want it...

In over ten years of buying boats though this company (14 in 2023) I'd love to give them 5 stars as at one time they were, sadly in the last 4-5 years their descriptions and photos are not accurate as to damage, and boat info is often incorrect, missing items from the boat when picked up from storage, add to that several title mistakes in recent years and I'm now looking for other outlets, for my business to function well CC needs to function well too, and that has seemed to have gone by the wayside for whatever reason

We have bought Several boats from cooper capital. They have always been good to deal with. I like how this auction broker isn’t as inflated as Copart or some of the others. This is a salvage site and if you know the value of what you are bidding on and have a clue what it’s worth you’ll have a good chance of success.

Zero stars as they refuse to help. I provided everything they asked for and they still did not help they lie. They need workshops in customer service as they lack people skills. I can not believe a company would do this. Do not lose paperwork as they will say they have it but won't give it to you. I wonder why when we live in a technological age where everything is a few clicks away. I wonder what really goes on over there.

Beware of parts missing. Transaction was 💯 however the persons in possession of the vessel stripped many parts before I took possession of vessel. Cooper says vessel stalled and hit jetty. Carburetor, exhaust manifolds, alternator, All electronics and micolanious items missing. Make sure to inspect and take pics before bidding.

This guys extended an auction time on us because they didn’t get the bids they wanted. Super unethical company practices.
