Anyone Used Skyauction.com

Caption is self explanatory, has anyone won and what were the results 9 obviously ended in a vacation I hope.) I have been bidding lately and now am close to winning and probably should have asked for feed back prior to bidding. Just got caught up in the holiday rush and excitement.

I've won airline flights to London, Paris, and twice to Germany and a New Year's Cruise. You've got to be careful not to get caught up in the bidding. Know what your top price is (including the all the extra fees and add-ons) and if you are outbid, just walk away. You could end up paying way too much.

A lot of people must bid from work. I have found that auctions that end early Friday evening seem to be the best bet.

Remember to factor in the taxes and service charge which could be anywhere from $100 to $200 in addition to the bid.

Thnaks all Budman I am very careful about thoose extra cost which sometimes seem to equal the actual bid amount. I keep losing last minute. I think it's like a dog chasing a car I don;t know what we'll do if we ever catch it. Happy Holiday's to all
