What was the highest the offers went? I would want a refund of the price different between J and E+ as well so it would have to be a pretty high offer.

The best offer I have witnessed was a $1000 from SJC to Austin on WN. I had a meeting so could not take it, but when I arrived in Austin meeting was cancelled. The lucky guy who got it must have been loving life.
