Going Once Auctions {Luxist}

Apr 17th 2007 3:51PM These packages aren't very good deals. The starting price is way above the cost of booking the package a la carte yourself. There's no date availability guarantee either. Until a package reaches around the half-price mark for most trips, you're better off booking it on your own. Is there something I'm missing about the offer? I don't know why anyone would purchase these for hours.
