Deep discounts on airfare have been far and few between since the airlines cut capacity a few years back so i would think expecting tickets for $200 would be a bit aggressive, but you have nothing to lose by giving it a try. However, for a short trip like this, keep i mind that you could get a late departure and an early return, essentially cutting your time in Los Angeles significantly.

If you want to give it a try, you can follow the technique in this Priceline Airfare Re-Bidding thread (see the second post in particular) and start at ~$150 and increase $5-$25 per re-bid until you get to your maximum bid price.

Any questions feel free to ask.
