ygtgxi Posted April 1, 2010 Report Share Posted April 1, 2010 Past bids were usually $50 but maybe because it is long weekend so it is more expensive. There were 5 re-bid zonesTried 6 days ago and failed but here is the attempt. Seeing as there were so many zones so I tried to low ball. I was aiming for a the 4* hyattAttempt 1-$28Attempt 2-$30Attempt 3-$33Attempt 4-$35Attempt 5-$37There goes the end of my 1st shot at itTried again the next dayAttempt 1-$35Attempt 2-$37Attempt 3-$40Attempt 4-$43Attempt 5-$47Failed again. Tried again the next dayAttempt 1-$46Attempt 2-$49Attempt 3-$50Attempt 4-$52Attempt 5-$55Tried again the next daySeems like my low ball attempt is failing and even the 50 dollar bid does not workAttempt 1-$50Attempt 2-$52Attempt 3-$55Attempt 4-$59Attempt 5-$62-->SUCCESSWow unbelievable eh? about 20 attempts, I thought as usually the price was around $50. Also I check and I saw the normal rate per night was only $95 for it per day. I knew I have a good chance at around $46-$50 as usually i divide their rates by half. Nope failed this time, had to get all the way up to $62. Maybe $60 was the magic number but I was getting a bit annoyed. I was prepared to low ball the 3* radisson for about $35-$40 if the 62 attempt did not work for the hyatt. Honestly, I wanted it to fail. lol but i only spend $50 more for a great hotel. If i think about it, a motel cost 69.99 a night at normal rate so for the same price I got a 4* so no complains. Used the PRICELINE link!Thanks Link to comment
