VRBO's new dynamic pricing tool - Free.
Hey everyone, I see that VRBO has a new dynamic pricing tool that is free. I first dismissed it as a way to race to the bottom so that they can keep making cashola off us like AirBNB's does.
However, @John Underwood in another thread said he has been using it for a week and is liking what he see's so I figured I would start a thread on it.
Looking for discussion and people who have tried it out and their opinions.

Agree 100%. Both platforms push high volume, low price models because that is in their best interest. The incremental value of a higher priced booking can't offset the loss of bookings at the lower end. If you view their search results enough you will see that low price trumps almost everything else; there's no other logical reason why a host with a 4.1 rating with say 40 reviews would come up higher in a search than one with a 5.0 with 25 reviews, all else but price being equal.
