The real cost of a Copart win in Atlanta
On a $2,500 winning bid, Copart adds about $759 in fees (buyer, internet bid, gate, environmental and title), and Georgia adds $165 of title ad valorem tax (TAVT) (6.60%) when you register the car — not at Copart checkout.

What the median leaves after those is your ceiling, not your target.
