Online Travel Booking and Bidding Agencies - Article re: Opaque Bidding Sites in the 04-12-09 NY Times

The good news is that the author is cognizant that BFT is no longer the pre-eminent bidding information site. However, I have never heard of the third site she mentions (and mentions rather prominently):

http://travel.nytimes.com/2009/04/12/travel/12pracopaque.html?em

The third site she mentions just has technique and approaches and such. No user-reported wins, reviews, failed bids, etc. Essentially the body of info in the FAQ sections and general sections of the other two. What is there is cleanly laid out and nicely written, but the site is just not the same genre.

Yawn....

Yawn....

You can choose to ignore, not read or not post. I appreciate the OP's post, thank you very much. At least a greater percentage of their 13,000+ posts are more informative....

I realize that most people who post in this forum are knowledgeable "power users" of bidding sites. But I do think that it is valid to see what the mainstream press is saying about the subject.

I wasn't commenting on the post - I was commenting on the NY Times writer -which we should be noting. The post was helpful and I apologize for any implication to the contrary.

I got B1's yawn. I'm sure he meant well.
