sabbaticalman Posted June 5, 2012 Report Posted June 5, 2012 Looking for a 4* in Downtown or FQ. Have seen some wins for $70/night. Best price is the priority. No preference between Downtown or FQ.You have helped me with numerous NYC bids, and I've been happy with your strategy and the results they produced. It's been a few years though, so I thought I'd post and see if anything has changes with the bid techniques.HK

sabbaticalman Posted June 5, 2012 Author Report Posted June 5, 2012 Max bid maybe around $100. No set in stone maximum limit, just looking for the cheapest 4* I can get. I was thinking of starting at $50-$60 and seeing if I get lucky...
