Hi Yellowdog, Many thanks for your reply. I'm happy to take whatever I win on priceline and my apologies for posting currency incorrectly. Conversion done, the counteroffer still seemed expensive at $94USD exclusive of taxes, etc. So, can you please share a bidding strategy that will help win me a 4* hotel in Toronto Downtown South at the best possible price. I am happy to take my time doing this, but I need a 12 March check-in date. I'm grateful for your help. With thanks, Immo
