Willow Branch Posted November 23, 2005 Report Share Posted November 23, 2005 WOW, this one was fun to bid on! I wanted to stay in the Irvine-Costa area or the Newport-Huntington area; I had no preference between these two areas. Also, I wanted a 3*, so that gave me Laguna, Anaheim & Seal to use for my free rebids. So, using the math permutations, I quickly listed my combinations on a sheet of paper--I had 18 of them ( I probably could have had more if I had worked at it harder, but I figured that 18 re-bids would be MORE THAN SUFFICIENT!! :) )I started with Irvine for $40.00With the bid for $40.00 came a counter offer of (if I would just add $12.00, I would receive it...). My usual strategy would be to half this counter & just add $6.00 & I probably would get it. BUT, since I had so many rebids for this area, I wanted to get this at the Rock Bottom!!So, I continued bidding with the following:Irvine + Newport $41.00Irvine + Laguna $42.00Irvine + Seal $43.00Got it for the $43.00Taxes & fees $12.00TOTAL $55.20I have learned everything about bidding through just reading all of the posts from people--the math permutations is just a WONDERFUL idea & WORKS!!!! I am known as the Priceline.com QUEEN to all of my friends!THANK-YOU for this board!!! Link to comment
