I'm looking at some vacation deals at www.skyauction.com. Wondering if anyone ever bought a vacation package there and if it's an honest, valid site or just a hoax. Please advise.

Thanks

Yes...I bought something a couple of years ago. I bought a week stay in a nice place (in Collingwood, Ontario, I think I had choice which place/which dates). It was like one of these time share type places, and they were trying to fill up empty apartments/suites. The taxes and fees might be high, so watch that....I didn't pay much for the bid, but the taxes and fees were like $200 something, but per night for a whole week, it came out very cheap.

I have a friend who told me about them who bought flights and did very well, but it was a while back before the site became as popular.
