mrzeigler Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Admins, by all means, delete this if deemed not helpful (since this is technically a "winning bids" forum), but I figured that posting unsuccessful bids can be almost as helpful as successful ones. Figure those looking for the same dates can base their bids on these failures.I was looking for lowball prices for a two-night trip to DC. All of these were rejected in this order. FIRST SERIES OF REJECTED BIDSJuly 24-26 (Fri-Sun)1. $55 for 4* White House/Downtown2. $60 for 4* White House/Downtown + DC suburbs northeast area3. $60 for *4 White House/Downtown + DC suburbs noreast + Convention Center4. $57 for *3.5 White House/Downtown + DC suburbs noreast + Convention CenterSECOND SERIES OF REJECTED BIDSJuly 30-Aug 1 (Thurs-Sat)1. $60 4* Convention center2. $65 4* Convention center + White House/Downtown3. $60 3.5* Convention center + White House/Downtown4. $63 $3.5* Convention center + White House/Downtown + suburbs northeast area.
AaronJB Posted July 18, 2009 Report Posted July 18, 2009 Welcome to the site. :)Thanks for posting your bidding information - it's definitely appreciated and can very likely help someone looking for these dates (which seem surprisingly inexpensive, given how insanely costly DC can sometimes be.)Please use the site's HOTWIRE or PRICELINE links to start your purchase.
