Priceline - anyone used it?

I'm off to New York in 10 days - have booked 3 nights in Ramada New Yorker (and got first night free!!!) but am away for 5 altogether.... (just too tight to commit to 5 nights at once!.
Anyway - for the remaining 2 nights I can either go 'budget' with its potential cockroaches and rats (see trip advisor) or gamble on Priceline.
Now, I'm a gamblin' sort of gal ... but only when I think I can win. I can choose the area and go for a 3*. The normal price for the Ramada is $249 for midweek nights. I've had a quick look on Priceline and they say you could potentially save 50% - so if I put in a price of, 130$ am I likely to get a room? If not - what sort of rate should I be looking to go to?
