Marriott Sydney Harbour - Priceline

Just won this hotel for this weekend at $90 USD on priceline. After pulling up the priceline reservation on marriott.com I see the following:

October 9, 2004 - October 12, 2004
151.80 (AUD) per night
PRICELINE.COM *DELUXE CITYVIEW (1 KING/2 DOUBLES)*MAX 4 ADULTS* ALL RESERVATIONS TO BE MADE VIA WORLDSPAN ** W/RESTRICTIONS
NON-COMMISSIONABLE
A CREDIT CARD DEPOSIT IS REQUIRED TO CONFIRM YOUR RESERVATION
TAXES INCLUDED IN ROOM RATES

At 151.80 AUD priceline is not netting much on this transaction. It does not seem like the have built up their negotiating power the AU region.
