gleemonex Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 after bidding unsuccessfully many times at the 3* level (trying to get the courtyard to bite) up to $45, i've decided to bid mostly 4* in toronto this year. why bid 3* up to $50-60, when you can get a 4* for the same price? i dunno what's up with the courtyard this year. bummer. nice place and it was great deal while it was so cheap.so i bid $60 for a 4* in downtown toronto, they made me wait a bit, then finally came back with a add $17 counteroffer, which i rejected.added a re-bid zone and bid $61, which was accepted.Congratulations, you got your price of $61 for a 4-star hotel room.Hilton Toronto Downtown Toronto145 Richmond Street West Toronto, Ontario M5H 3M6Check-In Date: Friday, April 29, 2005 Check-Out Date: Sunday, May 1, 2005 Your Offer Price: $61.00 (US dollars)Number of Rooms: 1Number of Nights: 2Subtotal: $122.00 (US dollars)Taxes & Service Fees: $19.50 (US dollars)Total Charges: $141.50 (US dollars)bid through savingsbarn.com
thereuare Posted February 23, 2005 Report Posted February 23, 2005 Nice job!You've hit the nail right on the head... not just with the price you paid, but in some cities it's foolish to bid for a 3* when a 4* can be had for the same amount or just $5-$10 more (this doesn't apply to 2.5* bidding where you can often get amenities such as free parking, breakfast, internet, etc)Thank you for sharing your win with the rest of the board and for placing your bid thru SavingsBarn.comEnjoy your stay.
