Hello mrs4evr, Here is how I would do: note: if they give you a counter offer like for adding $11 to your current bid, it means that you are getting very close to accepting bid, so don't take it (my2cents). 1. If you preferred zone 10 only and no where else, try this sequence of bidding: a. select 4* bid for $57, and if it fails b. select 3.5* bid again for $58, and if it fails c. select 3* bid again for $59, and if it fails d. select 2.5* bid again for $60, and if it fails e. go for the 2* or 1* that you already had 2. If you can stay in any of the following zones: 4, 5, 6, 7, 10, 11, 14, 15, try this sequence of bidding instead: (note: by following this sequence of bidding, you probably would get an accepting bid for 3* at zone 15 or 11) a. select zone 15 only and 3*, then bid for $44. if it fails b. add zone 11, and bid again for $46, and if it fails c. change to 2.5* and bid again for $48, and if it fails d. add zone 10, and bid again for $50, and if it fails e. add zone 4, and bid again for $52, and if it fails f. add zone 5, and bid again for $54, and if it fails g. add zone 6, and bid again for $56, and if it fails h. add zone 7, and bid again for $58, and if it fails i. add zone 14, and bid again for $60, and if it fails j. go for the 2* or 1* that you already had Good luck and let us know how it turns out.
