lcf76 Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Looking for Downtown (DT), City Hall Downtown South (DTS) or Granville (GR)Rejected for:$80 4* DT$82 4* DT+GR$84 4* DT+GR+DTS$80 3.5* DT$82 3.5* DT+GR$86 4* DT+Coquit.$88 4* DT+GR+Coquit+Langley$90 4* DT+GR+Coquit+Langley+SurreyGoing to try 3* DT & GR shortly Link to comment
lcf76 Posted June 21, 2011 Author Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 Rejected for both:$80 3* DT$84 3* DT+GRhad a closer look at the likely possibilities in DT-south and have decided to limit the search to DT + GR.And, when I went to add Langley for a free re-bid, the average price of a 3* hotel in those areas dropped by $60. I didn't think Langley had 3* hotels and PL doesn't show that (it only lights up 2.5* and below for Langley) but I didn't want to take the chance that I'd win a 3* in Langley so I'm passing on the rebid.Any thoughts on what I should be bidding up to for 3* -4* in DT and/or GR? I'd take either one and would be willing to pay up to $10 more for a 4* over a 3*. PS. I used your PRICELINE link. Link to comment
thereuare Posted June 21, 2011 Report Share Posted June 21, 2011 I would of course bid in increments towards these levels, but i'm guessing a 4* is going to go for about $110-$135... a 3* for about $95-$110.If you need help with a bidding strategy let us know which star rating and zones you'd like to try for first, as well as your maximum bid, and we'll try to assist further.Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.
