Priceline Hotel: 4* Paris (Bastille-Bercy) Pullman Paris Bercy

[melthread]

I have been bidding on the 4* Paris Bercy area - there is only one hotel listed and a previous post from a winner at the Sofitel Bercy. I received an interesting counteroffer today, and would like some advice/suggestions:

1/22 - bid $115 - counter 155

1/23 - bid $125 - counter 147

1/24 - bid $129 - counter 151

How did the counter offer go up today? Should I be concerned? These dates are so far in advance. Thanks for your help!

----Note on 2/3/08 - Just won the Bercy. Will post details at bottom of thread.

Hey Everyone, thanks for all your guidance on bidding strategies. I decided that $140 was my max, so I just took my time, since we are so far out. Sure enough, after countless bids, I won the hotel for $139/night.

Details:

1/27 - bid 128 - counter 150 (22 more)

1/28 - bid 134 - counter 153

1/30 - bid 135 - counter 154

1/31 - bid 136 - counter 158

2/1 - bid 137 - counter 154

2/3 - bid 138 - counter 160 (22 more)

- then free rebid adding Mont/Batig (which has no 4* hotels) and got accepted at 139.

We are very excited about this lovely hotel in Paris.

Thanks again!
