Someone here recently bought a week at Bali Shangrilah Beach Club on ebay for $1, I think. We've stayed there - lovely little place run by an extended English family. It's a timeshare so part of the ebay deal is sitting through a 90 min presentation.
You can stay there anyway without having anything to do with a timeshare spiel. The rates are moderate. The setting is lovely & the roof-top bar has spectacular views.
Whether you'd get a better rate just walking in to any hotel depends on the occupancy - if the hotel is pretty full, then of course the price won't be dropped much, if at all. If the place is empty then you'd have a good chance of getting a cheap rate, I guess.
