Helping my Brother-In-Law

The day we got home from our Embassy Suites/birthday celebration (the day we came home to the blown water heater), my brother-in-law called from Omaha saying they were at a party and wanted to spend that night. Could I get them a deal on a room? Heck yeah! How about this? (as posted on better bidding.com:

Just helped a relative get a last minute room for tomorrow night in Omaha. Even though there were 4 re-bid zones available, I suggested we start the bidding process at $45, since regular rates were looking pretty high, and there would be no re-bidding in 24 hours.

First bid was accepted for: Courtyard By Marriott Omaha Downtown 4/19.

$45
Taxes & fees: $15.32

Total: $60.32

Lowest rate on Courtyard's website was $169

(Found out later that the hotel was very nice...they were very pleased!)
