farrelljennings Posted February 1, 2006 Report Posted February 1, 2006 I'm following the rebidding sequence offered on the site: Bid $120, if rejected add re-bid zone 1...Bid $125, if rejected add re-bid zone 2...Bid $130, if rejected close browser and re-access priceline however you did previously. Where I get stuck is that after I've re-bid with zone 1 and then try and bid the $125, it asks me to "Please change at least one part of your original request."What am I doing wrong? Thanks so much for all of the great advice. Much appreciated!
