The truck was sold to a very nice gentleman who was pleased to get it; happy parties on both sides :)

Actually, my complaint is about transparency. They're obviously free to conduct auctions one-at-a-time if they feel that's in their best interests. (I'm not sure how it's in the seller's best interest if he has to wait weeks to realize a sale of a depreciating asset, and I'm not sure how it's...

I want to add; Bring a Trailer did the same thing. Except they first took a 99 dollar listing fee. THEN they told me it would be weeks until it would be listed. I will say that when I complained, they quickly agreed to refund my money.

You guys are absolutely right; it's why it made me so upset that C&B took 8 days to tell me that they were 3-4 weeks from listing mine. I would have gone straight to BaT if I had known. The broker had approached me early on and I said he could offer it to his customers over the weekend after I...

I was planning to sell my truck via Cars and Bids. Over the course of eight days they had me jump through their various hoops- "yes, you've been accepted, now send us this" only on the EIGHTH day did they bother to tell me that it would be 3-4 weeks until my auction appeared because of other...

I would assume that means 3 or 4 vehicles since the auctions are one week long.

Yes, I just moments ago found out from Cars and Bids that my truck would not be listed for 3-4 weeks. This really ticked me off as I had been "accepted" by them 8 days ago without a word at that time, or any time since, that there would be a delay. Apparently they only want to offer one at a...

Sorry, I forgot to answer this promptly. The comparison is casual, but definitely easy to hear. When I rode in one at an open house, it was on the 20" wheel. When they came to me for my first drive I took it out on a nearby stretch of highway that I'm very familiar with; I wanted to try to...

I personally agree with both of the above statements. I don't mind the scrutiny, or the challenges, or even what I would just plain call "the haters". I expected that based on many earlier posts by others who began selling either their trucks or their place in line. I don't understand their...

I pretty much agree with the sentiment, but I would argue that no one knew (or at least I didn't know) in advance that these would be high demand/low supply when I put down the deposit. And they wouldn't have been if all the unforeseen issues at Rivian hadn't arisen. In fact I didn't even know...

Whew, right!? I believe it will come back, but not sure if I have enough conviction to double down. A year from now people might easily say, "remember when you could buy Rivian for only x?"

I had to try REAL hard NOT to enjoy it! You should see the texting to my wife about changing my mind :) I barely drove it, maybe 12 miles, because it was too sweet! So I'm just walking past it in our garage trying not to look; I feel it's like the pretty woman walking down the sidewalk, just...

Thank you sir! For my best use, I really need to be able to put a cap on for covered, dry transport, but easily remove it for Home Depot building supplies. I debated getting the R1S, but it's just too hard to load (think 80lb bags of mortar mix, concrete block, etc.) compared to a truck bed...

I'm not sure why all the hate on the making money; in general, yes, I like to make money, though that was not part of the original equation. And to Mr. aptly named Venom, yes, I did know the bed length, but if you actually read my OP, you might have seen that my needs changed over the years...
