Month: November 2018

While shopping on DealDash.com I noticed that several customers recently won some outstanding deals on bid packs.

I seldom bid on large bid packs because I assume too many other shoppers will go for it and the competition would be too stiff. However, I now see that is not always the case.

Check out some amazing bargains some shoppers got on bid packs just today (at the time of this writing):

• 100 bid pack sold Nov. 11 for only 5 cents. The winner used only 2 bids and paid a total of 45 cents.
• 400 bid pack sold Nov. 11 for only 7 cents. The winner used only 1 bid and paid a total of 27 cents.
• 3,500 bid pack sold Nov. 11 for 48 cents. The winner used only 24 bids and paid a total of $5.28.

It only took a total of 27 bids to win all three of those bid packs. I wish I had bid in those auctions to get some of those deals, but the only way we can ever win such amazing deals is to try.

Bidding Options

Sometimes it’s just a matter of choosing the best shopping strategy to win such great bargains. For example, let’s say we have a total of 500 bids:

• We could place 10 bids each in the next 50 bid pack auctions
• We could place 25 bids each in the next 50 bid pack auctions
• We could place 100 bids each in the next 5 bid pack auctions
• We could place all 500 bids in only one bid pack auction

It is up to us to choose the bid pack we want to bid on. What we don’t know is when a bid pack auction will close early. The examples above, however, prove that some customers do, and still are, winning great deals on DealDash.

Perhaps the best advice I could give to new customers on DealDash.com would be to start small to win big. Let me explain:

Looking at all of the items up for auction on the DealDash home page can be overwhelming. Our eyes might quickly go to some of the high-dollar products. The most experienced shoppers, however, might have an edge over you in these auctions. That’s why I suggest it is best for newcomers to start out by shopping for the easiest-to-win auctions.

We can quickly identify those auctions by:

• Looking at the auctions with a buy it now price of $200 or less
• Look at the “Winner’s List” to see what auctions have been selling for the fewest number of bids and the lowest sales price.

We will most likely find that jewelry, perfume and sheet sets will be a good place to start. However, this can change from week-to-week, so it’s a good idea to frequently check back and look for new trends. We might see different items sell at great prices during various times of the year. For example, water fountains might sell for less during winter months than they do during summer months. Shopping for off-season items often results in great bargains.

That’s right. At the time of writing this post, DealDash.com has nine new cars up for auction.

DealDash is the only online site that I know of where we can bid on and possibly win a brand new car. How exciting is that?

Christmas is not far away so it is not too early to start shopping now.

If you are a retiree with limited funds like me, you might not have much money to spend on gifts for family members and friends.

By shopping on DealDash.com, however, we might be able to still get some great gifts at bargain prices. I checked out the various auctions now listed on DealDash and came up with a list of auctions that seem to be often fairly easy to win at bargain prices, suiting those shopping on a budget.

Gifts for Men

• Bolvaint – Leaf, Men’s Eau de Parfum,7 fl. oz. The buy-it-now price is $230.00. This item sold for 10 bids or less 23 times from Oct. 19 to Oct. 26. During that same time, it sold for 100 bids or less 105 times out of 144 times it was listed. Therefore, if we place 100 bids in this auction, the probability of winning it at a bargain price is extremely high.
• Wilson & Miller Tactical Combat Flashlight. The buy-it-now price of this item is $65.00. Based on my findings this item sold for less than 50 bids six times from Oct. 19 to Oct. 26. During that same time, it sold for 220 bids or less 20 out of 30 times it was listed. Since we can purchase 220 bids (at 14 cents a bid) for $30.80 the probability of winning this at a bargain price is fairly high.

 

Gifts for Women

• Ashlynn Avenue – Aurora 18K White Gold-Plated Echo Ring with Pavé Gemstones 0.44 Ctw – Size 7. The buy-it-now price of this ring is $165.00. This ring sold for 50 bids or less 21 out of 35 times it was listed from Oct. 19 to Oct. 26. Therefore, if we place 50 bids on this ring, the probability is high that we could win this ring at a bargain price.
• Ashlynn Avenue – Symphony Harper 18K White-Gold Plated 3.4 Ctw Teardrop Earrings.  The buy-it-now price of these pierced earrings is $210.00.  They sold for 62 bids or less 19 out of 23 times they were listed from Oct. 20 to Oct. 26. Therefore, if we place 62 bids on these earrings, the probability of winning them at a bargain price is very high.
