9/9/19 - PSC-SEA - Asked for 2 but needed 1 for $500, Got in 6 hours late, Kept F upgrade for the whole route to BUF.
9/9/19 - PSC-MSP Needed 1 for $600, someone else.

I usually ask for $500 and most GA know and like me and make me first choice regardless, I know the drill and understand options so they prefer me.

Some are saying they bid low to get the bump and count on the price going up with later volunteers. Good strategy if you know that others will bid up the price but if they are only looking for one you are stuck with your low bid.
