bearb Posted December 10, 2009 Author Report Share Posted December 10, 2009 Very, very good deal for this Buffalo Marriott property. :) I'm not following (not feeling my best, didn't get much sleep) in terms of the rebid - did you do 1, then 1+2, then 1+2+3?YES...this is correct.-expecting to get it for $57...I didn't bother playing around...closing the browser after 1, 1+2...then start fresh bid process-felt confident that I would get exactly what I wanted...as I didn't really feel like packing :) Thank you for letting your neighbor know about Betterbidding! :o-he was off for a cruise...but travels a lot...so will definitely be reading up on this site now that he knows!
