drycleaner Posted January 11, 2008 Author Report Posted January 11, 2008 I am a little confused about the Priceline bidding process.When I bid $85 for 2 1/2* FLL Beach, my bid was rejected with a counteroffer of an additional $22.However, other bids have been accepted at $62-$75 for around the same time period.Why do you think my $85 bid was rejected? If I had bid $75, would that have had a chance of success? Do you have any thoughts about this?Thanks.
thereuare Posted January 11, 2008 Report Posted January 11, 2008 Rates are date specific, so occupancy may have been lower on the dates with wins of $62-$75. I assume those are for different dates than your own?If $75 would have been enough for these dates, then your $85 bid would have been accepted.
