The bidding for travel days are not over. Rather, Priceline operates in 2 modes and to get to the "name your own price" part of their website it is necessary on the first screen to click on the "bid now" link rather than input your trip parameters at the top of the page and click "search now".

(Priceline, Hotwire)., then call the hotel you think it is directly, speak to the Manager ...
