Hokietravel Posted November 29, 2010 Report Share Posted November 29, 2010 Transparent side price was $79, and I typically do a little better than 50% off, so I thought to start bidding at $35, but since I had almost a week and 3 rebid zones I started at $25. I was waaaay too optimistic. Bids rejected at $25, $27, $29, $31, $33, $35, $37, $40, $42, $44, $46, $48, $50, $53.Bid for $55 rejected but counter offered at $73, which I turned down because a counter offer has always meant they'll accept about half-way between my last bid and the offer. Bid $63 and was accepted. Good news: This bidding took from Thursday to Sunday, with my trip beginning on Monday so I was out of time and rebid zones when I won. It was my last shot before paying retail. Whew. Bad news: Only saved $16 a night, or in other words, 20%. Eh, it's better than saving 0%. :-) Link to comment
