Mystique0101 Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 I haven't bidded before, but read up on some of the success of people. I'm looking at bidding from Dec 1 - Dec 27th in the district of Wan Chai 4*, how should I strategize? Also, what is a reasonable starting bid?
thereuare Posted May 25, 2011 Report Posted May 25, 2011 Welcome to BetterBidding!To confirm, this is a 26 nite stay? As we wouldn't want to suggest a strategy which went higher then you were willing to pay, what is your maximum bid for this stay?Please use the PRICELINE and HOTWIRE links on the board to begin your travel purchases.

Mystique0101 Posted May 25, 2011 Author Report Posted May 25, 2011 Thank you :) That is correct, it's for a 26 night stay, i might go on a short trip for 4-5 days, but if I can get the price I want, I don't mind... Hotel prices in Wan Chai vary from 60-100+ so I'm hoping to pay max $70.. but I'm open to other areas in HK as well.

thereuare Posted May 26, 2011 Report Posted May 26, 2011 What about East Hong Kong Island? What about Silvermine Bay?
