theothursdays Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Ok I've been reading a good amount on here so I think/thought I had it down. Could someone help me with this request.Ok this was my progress, I know it's a little long.. Ideally I wanted to get the Hyatt Penns Landing for similiar to what other had won it for in the past. But any of the 4* would do.4* Philadelphia DowntownJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$434*added Trevose/BensalemJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$444*added AirportJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$504*added City LineJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$534*added Stadium AreaJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$584*added Cherry HillJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$624*added University AreaJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$654*added GloucesterJul 22-23 Fri-Sat 1 night$72That's all of my re-bids I think, and none were acceptedSo I guess I have to wait the 72 hours now, but what should my strategy be when I restart?
thereuare Posted July 14, 2005 Report Posted July 14, 2005 Welcome to BetterBidding!Prices don't appear high for your date, but they can also change between now and 72 hours... bump this thread (by replying to it) a half day or so before your able to bid again and we'll look at current prices and suggest a strategy to follow.What would your maximum bid be?

theothursdays Posted July 16, 2005 Author Report Posted July 16, 2005 up for some help...I see sojourn's win of 85 which is reasonable, so my maximum bid is I guess around 110 because then I could just go to Hotwire.
thereuare Posted July 16, 2005 Report Posted July 16, 2005 You have 7 re-bids in this zone and this is how i would bid...Select 4* Downtown...Bid $60, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $65, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $70, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $75, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $80, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $83, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $85.(one re-bid zone intentionally left out)It don't think it should take more than that, but we'll leave some options open.Good Luck and let us know how it goes.

theothursdays Posted July 17, 2005 Author Report Posted July 17, 2005 No luck with that strategy.Tried all the way up to 85.One re-bid zone left.... not feeling confident
thereuare Posted July 17, 2005 Report Posted July 17, 2005 If you want to continue up to $110 you can do as follows:Select 4* and the re-bid zone you haven't yet selected...Bid $90, if rejected add re-bid zone (any are fine, even if you've already bid them previously)...Bid $95, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $100, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $105, if rejected add re-bid zone...Bid $110.
