BEAV Posted March 20, 2009 Report Share Posted March 20, 2009 Welcome to Better Bidding and thanks for posting your winning bid. When your $100 bid was rejected, did Priceline suggest you bid an extra $22 or is that a figure you came up with on your own? If Priceline suggested bidding $122, that is what they call a "counteroffer". In general, Priceline will accept less (often 50% or more) than the $22 they were suggesting. If you're not already familiar with it, read up on this site about "free rebidding" which will enable you to continue to make bids, increasing your bid price at smaller intervals than $22. You did great for your first Priceline bid attempt! Hang around this site and you'll pick a lot of good advice for future bids. Link to comment
