Priceline advice for luxury hotel in Tokyo

I have never used Priceline, and would appreciate advice from somebody who
has used it for either Tokyo or for a luxury hotel.

What price would you offer Priceline for a non-weekend, non-holiday, stay at
a Luxury hotel in Central Tokyo (e.g. near Tokyo Station, Imperial Palace,
Diet Building, i.e. Not Shinjuku, Shibuya, Shinagawa, Ueno, Port of Tokyo,
etc.) in winter ?

Thanks for your advice.

I suggest you take a look at the Priceline Asia Discussions forum at
http://p197.ezboard.com/bpricelineasiadiscussions

People there share information on what bids they've been successful
with, so you get an idea of how much to offer for the dates you need
the hotel.

I use Priceline for hotels frequently, but in my opinion it is not a
good deal in Tokyo. My rule of thumb is if I can't save ~ 50% with
Priceline for at least a 4*, I book a hotel other ways. For bidding
help use http://p070.ezboard.com/bpricelineandexpediabidding

The hotel I like in Tokyo is the Metropolitan Crowne Plaza in the
Ikebukuro district, which has typical prepaid rates of ~ 12000 yens on
the HI web site http://www.basshotels.com/holiday-inn. Priceline
savings are not great on this hotel.
