GOOG was done differently it was latterly a Dutch auction and you could have gotten shares even as John Q Public. The IPO price ended up being 85 bucks, IIRC when the stock opened it was over 100.
I wanna catch my kid before he goes to sleep so I am running out but I’ll answer the balance of your question in the morning if no one beats me to it. There is a lot of back room dealing and salesmanship and just remember that for all the killer IPO deals you hear about there a 10 times as many crappy ones you have to take in order to get the good stuff.
Oh I can one up you... My cost basis taking into account dividends on MSFT is something like 20 bucks a share they paid me to own it!!!! LOLOLO I used to answer a lot of questions on the options markets boards till i got tired of those kinds of people.
Have a good night
