Jmack Posted June 4, 2011 Report Posted June 4, 2011 There isn't a lot of bidding history here on Mammoth, especially for summer rather than winter, so I started my bids fairly low. All of these were rejected, but I will try again after 24 hours.3* - Mammoth Lakes - $39added Angels Camp - $41added Buck Meadows - $43added Mariposa - $45added Oakhurst - $47Looks like most of the 3* hotels have a retail between $100-$150, so I'm hoping to get something in the $50-$75 range eventually. I used the PRICELINE link to start my bidding, as always!

Colfax Posted June 7, 2011 Report Posted June 7, 2011 I've seen several TV segments in the last couple weeks about how the waterfalls at Yosemite are the best they've been in decades. With all the publicity Yosemite's probably going to extra busy this summer and I wonder if we'll see Yosemite area hotels pulling back inventory from PRICELINE as a result. It will be interesting to see if you win something as your dates approach. It helps that you're bidding for a Weds/Thurs, rather than a weekend. Good luck!
Jmack Posted June 9, 2011 Author Report Posted June 9, 2011 Still no luck, and we topped out at our limit.I bid again up to $85. I'm a little surprised only because it says that the median retail is $138. I think you are right that inventory must be down.We're going to change our itinerary, and drive up through Sacramento instead (on our way to Reno).
