pnb Posted January 7, 2006 Report Share Posted January 7, 2006 First bid, $103 all in (as VAT is a hefty 25% in Denmark).Best available rate on Sofitel.com (incl. VAT) for this date was DKK 1,600 (approx. $260). :) And an addition to your list thereuare! Link to comment

mats Posted January 8, 2006 Report Share Posted January 8, 2006 Thanks for posting your winning bid pnb!!! I had intended to bid $90 or $95, but tried $77 after reading your post. Accepted at first try. Maybe we could have got our rooms for less even??? Anyway, I am really happy with this price. Seems like a super deal!/Mats Link to comment
pnb Posted January 9, 2006 Author Report Share Posted January 9, 2006 That was effectively a bit of a surprise to get my bid accepted for $77!Before placing it, I noticed that Priceline would show "Based on recent data, your price has only a small chance of being accepted", up to $95. So I thought my bid would probably be rejected, but it was not!Interestingly enough, the "based on recent data..." note now only appears for bids <$77... Link to comment
mats Posted January 11, 2006 Report Share Posted January 11, 2006 Interestingly enough, the "based on recent data..." note now only appears for bids <$77...Hmmm, so maybe "based on recent data..." really reflects recent bids? I always thought that was a phony message. Seems as you are on to something here... But then again, whether a bid is accepted is also very dendent on the date you bid for. And I doubt that is taken into account in the "based on recent data..." info. Or??? Link to comment
