I copy pasted kiwicyclos info from the one up thread. I thought it was going to be too messy to look through that for RU/elite APD upgrades.

My first thought with that first $1000 post was maybe it was for 2 people but it certainly does look like it's for one. PE can go for $1200 on that route on sale whereas J, I don't think I've seen it down to $2200, or < 3k. I guess that's more of a one up but paying $500 cash with the 50% elite uplift to make it up to $1000 would still have been reasonable value. The elite APD upgrade would have been 480 on that route so they only bid $20 more so not a huge difference between one up and elite APD upgrade. Maybe they didn't have enough APD at the time? They certainly didn't lose out or spend too much actual cash.
