tilepusher Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 I started at $55 and increased in $1-$2 increments. On my fifth bid of $62, I received a +$17 counteroffer. Based on this counteroffer and other reported wins at $70, I decided to wait 24 hours, figuring that this deal wouldn't suddenly disappear this far in advance. I then started at $63 and increased in $1 increments (receiving 3 more +$17 counteroffers along the way); I was accepted at the Marriott Fisherman's Wharf on my seventh bid of $69. The rate for this hotel on Marriott.com was $209/night. I'm really looking forward to this trip, my first to San Francisco in over 20 years.p.s. Could someone please fix the subject line? I apparently had a dyslexic moment. :)
AaronJB Posted August 11, 2009 Report Posted August 11, 2009 Congrats on your success! :)Looks like an excellent deal for this San Fran property (nice job getting under the counter-offer, too!), and certainly a nice place to stay for your first trip to the city in over 20 years.Thank you for sharing your win with the board and using the site's PRICELINE link to start your purchase.Enjoy your stay.
Colfax Posted August 13, 2009 Report Posted August 13, 2009 Nice deal, tilepusher. After 20 years you're going to see a lot of changes. Have a good trip!
