True…. My search came up with approx 5%. In the grand scheme of things Ford’s $820M is peanuts given Rivian had $35-38B when the IPO hit, which all pre-holders were offered a max of 175 shares at $78 a share. I purchased the max.

Edit: Ford originally had $1.2B invested.

Has been stuck at that $92k bid for a few days now. Seems like that number still nets you some $$ but hoping you get some more activity today. Haven’t been watching market on these closely - know they were crazy for the first wave, not sure if market has started to cool yet.

It should increase towards the end. At least I hope it does! The R1T bubble has nut burst yet, but it is definitely leaking. The days of pulling $130k+ are over with. Even $105-110k seems to have dwindled. Hopefully the exterior color will draw some attention given that it is the first one to hit an auction site. Another Red Canyon hit bring BaT this week.

Rivian had an unannounced price increase last week. My build is just under $98k now. Crazy!

Sold! I lowered the reserve 30 minutes prior to closing. The winner is paying $99,100. Cars & Bids is putting forth $2900 for the reserve of $102k.
