What a crazy day! When the listing FINALLY went up on BaT it jumped from an opening bid of $5k to $91967.00 over night and then sat there over the holiday weekend. Monday it went up to $93k and parked there for the remainder of the week. I had considered taking today off, but it didn't look like it was going to meet the reserve so I didn't call out. Work actually called and pushed my show time back to 3pm, which turned out to be a good thing. I was able to take a few calls on the car during the last 30 min, but still the bidding wasn't moving. The auction was set to expire at 1:05 and at 1pm bidding started, but very slow. Didn't look like it would go. I was talking to John on the phone and texting with Brycen when things started to take off. When it passed my reserve, I posted "Reserve Met" and that seemed to intensify the bidding. Probably not, but it seemed that way. Brycen asked what I really wanted for the car and I told him $150k, but I didn't think it would get there. Well.... I was wrong and happy to be so.
My ego wanted to beat the 68 that went for $130k, so that was a bonus.
It's a bitter sweet day and I will miss the car. It's a lot of fun to drive and I've had a great time with it.
