Yep, the Priceline prices have been amazing. Just to be clear though, you can't bid for the Prince specifically, and some people who bid NYOP hoping for the Prince are getting the Marriott -- which is fine place to stay, but doesn't run a shuttle to the Mauna Kea. To get the Prince for sure, try them and see what the kama`aina rate might be. Won't be as good as Priceline, but a friend of mine did get the Hilton for $125 kama`aina this summer, which is pretty amazing for high season.
