thereuare Posted August 11, 2005 Report Share Posted August 11, 2005 What is your maximum bid at the 3* level?Do you know that you have more than two re-bid zones at the 3* level?

helle001 Posted August 12, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 12, 2005 Hi, I upped the bid to $45 for a 3 star and added the additional zone (I had failed to mention that there was an additional zone in my earlier bid). Now I will wait for 3 days and then bid again. I think I might just go $50 in the 3* category and/or switch to the 2 1/2*. Can you give me advice on a starting point for the 2 1/2* based on my experience with the 3*, i.e. should I assume that I will have to pay at least $30 (or a figure that your recommend) for a 2 1/2* because I can't get a 3* for $45?

thereuare Posted August 13, 2005 Report Share Posted August 13, 2005 What is your maximum bid at each star level and we will suggest a strategy to follow... i don't think you're systematically adding areas as you should. You may increase you chances of success at the 3* level if you are willing to go to the mid-$50's, but we'll advise a strategy to follow if you let us know your maximum bid at each level.

helle001 Posted August 15, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 15, 2005 I'm pretty sure that I went up systematically. However, here are my maximums................... 4*- $75 3*-$65 2 1/2*-$60 Link to comment
helle001 Posted August 16, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 16, 2005 Oh, do you mean the max that I've bid so far? That's $55 for a 3* I stopped at $55 for a 4* Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 I'm trying to put a strategy together for you but in looking at your first post i'm unclear as to which zones are acceptable. You state that you had bid the Downtown (i assume the 'Lexington' zone), North, and the Airport zone... but there is no Airport zone on Priceline for this area.Which zones are you willing to accept and we'll outline a strategy based upon your maximum bid amount provided above.Thanks.

helle001 Posted August 17, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 are you looking at Lexington or Louisville? I'm trying to stay in L'ville either downtown or airport districts Link to comment
thereuare Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Thanks for correcting the error of my ways... and i took a nap yesterday too!Now that i'm on the same page... you have five re-bids when bidding 4*, four re-bids when bidding 3*, and three re-bids when bidding 2.5*. Feel free to confirm your re-bid zones with the board before proceeding if you're unsure. I'm thinking you really only want to stay in Downtown?Select 4* Downtown...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did prevoulsy.Select 3* Downtown...Bid $50, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $55, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $58, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $62, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did prevoulsy.Select 2.5* Downtown...Bid $35, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $40, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $45, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $50.Start with the above and we'll take it from there.Any questions feel free to ask.
