Install the two buttons

One drag each, once. After this, a Copart page is one click from a filled-in calculator, and a KBB, Carvana or CarMax offer page is one click from landing in your exit price.

Button 1 — on Copart and IAA

Bid Ceiling
Drag this button up to your bookmarks bar — don't click it here

Button 2 — on KBB, Carvana and CarMax

Grab Offer
Drag this one up too — you need both

If you can't see your bookmarks bar

Press Ctrl + Shift + B to show it, drag the button up, then press it again to hide it if you prefer.

Using Bid Ceiling

  1. Open any Copart or IAA vehicle page as you normally would.
  2. Let the page finish loading — the photos need to be on screen.
  3. Click Bid Ceiling in your bookmarks bar.
  4. A new tab opens with the VIN, year, make, model, title, damage and photos already filled in.

Using Grab Offer

The same button does two jobs, and works out which one you need from what's on the page.

  1. In the calculator, under Instant offers, click Open on KBB, Carvana or CarMax.
  2. On their page, click Grab Offer. It fills in the VIN, mileage and ZIP from the calculator. It does not press their button — asking for an offer in your name is your call.
  3. Answer whatever else they ask until the dollar figure is on screen.
  4. Click Grab Offer again. It shows the figure it found and asks before sending it back.
  5. Repeat for the other two. Your exit price follows the lowest of the three.

It has to stay the same tab

The two tabs talk directly to each other, which is how the VIN gets across without going through anybody's server. So open their site with the Open button in the calculator rather than typing the address yourself — otherwise there's no link between them and it can't fill anything in.

Why it isn't automatic

None of those three publishes a way to ask for an offer — it only exists at the end of their own form. A server pretending to be a browser would work for a few weeks and then quietly start returning stale numbers that still look right, which is the worst thing that can happen to a figure you're bidding against. So it reads the page you're already looking at, only when you click it, and shows you what it found before it counts.

If it grabs the wrong number, hit Cancel and use the pencil on the card to type it in.

What it does and doesn't do

It reads the page already open in front of you, only when you click it. It sends nothing to anyone — the vehicle details travel in the part of the URL after the #, which browsers never transmit to a server.

It reads what's on screen, so let the page load first. If a field comes through blank, type it in — everything stays editable.

Where the button opens

This is already filled in correctly — leave it alone. It is only here for the rare case that you move the calculator somewhere else; changing it rebuilds the button above to point at whatever you type.

Your calculator lives at https://nk-bidceiling.pages.dev/, which is what the box says. If you ever blank it out or paste the wrong thing in, put that address back.
Copy the raw code instead

Make a new bookmark by hand and paste this as the address — Bid Ceiling:
