The more I think about this company the more amazed I get about the opportunities that are available to it. The name your price model has got to be attractive to the large majority of consumers, be them individuals or businesses. There is virtually no limit to where the model can be applied. I just tried their name your rate mortgage service - I received three very competitive offers, and I shopped around a lot. So not only is the model good but management seems to be executing it very well. I am yet to be disappointed with their services. In addition, judging from the sparse remarks from Priceline, their "pipeline" is indeed full of new deals, new services, and news. I did an informal survey with friends and colleagues and found that Priceline.com (immediately associated with "name your own price") is among the top 10 (definitely), and maybe even top 5-6 Internet brand names, alongside such companies as Yahoo, Amazon, Ebay, AOL, and Dell. Now if only PCLN's stock can follow it's companions' suit in terms of stock price. IMHO all things considered, that is not a bad possibility.
