Hi noodles81,

I actually started bidding @ $105, then increased my bid by $10 over the course of 3 days. When I reached $125, I received a counter-offer of $160 - which I declined - so I knew I was close to getting a bid accepted. Continued with my bidding strategy & got the bid of $135 accepted on the 4th day of bidding.

For your own trip, I would suggest you start a new post seeking help/advice so the more experienced members of the board can give you a bidding strategy specifically tailored for your trip. I'm still a bit of a newbie, so I don't want to give you incorrect advice.

Cheers.
