Month: April 2021

After shopping on DealDash.com since Feb. 8, 2012, I have won 914 auctions.

I’m sure many DealDash shoppers have won more auctions than I have. However, over the years I learned a thing or two from my own hands-on shopping experiences about what to do and what not to do. I also learned a lot from seeing what other winners do or don’t do.

What Winners Do

1. Winners develop a plan. The last thing winning shoppers want to do is to run out of bids when they are one of the final two players in an auction. Winners develop a definite plan and part of that plan is to figure out how many bids they can afford to purchase per month. Then when the bids go on sale they probably purchase enough bids to last for the entire month.
2. Winners place their bids into BidBuddy and allow the DealDash automated bidder place their bids for them. Winners also monitor the bidding and cancel or add bids whenever it makes sense to do so. If several new shoppers join an auction winners might cancel their bids, but when the bidding gets down to the last two or three shoppers again winners add more bids.
3. Winners eliminate distractions. Winners shop on DealDash when they have plenty of time and are least likely to have any outside distractions. I feel like several years ago, when DealDash was still a small company, I could place my bids in the auctions I wanted to win and then go mow the lawn or do my grocery shopping. Then I would come back to pay for my wins. Now that DealDash has grown into such a large company, however, I can no longer do that. If I seriously want to win an auction I have to take the time to focus on my DealDash shopping and nothing else.
4. Winners participate in auctions that have the fewest number of competitors because they are usually the easiest ones to win. Winners also look for auctions that are already down to only two or three active players.

Attention all DealDash.com shoppers: to bid or not to bid … that is the question!

Whenever we see a product go up for auction on the DealDash shopping site that we really want we need to decide when to bid, how much to bid and when to stop bidding. One other question we must answer is whether to choose to use the “Buy-It-Now” option if we don’t win the auction.

Long time DealDash customers might have it all figured out, but it can be a tough decision for new members. So let’s take a look at some of the options that might help.

Methods of Bidding

DealDash shoppers have many different methods of bidding.

For example:

• Many shoppers place only one bid at the beginning of an auction and never return to place more bids.
• Some shoppers place only one bid at the beginning of an auction and wait until the auction gets down to the last two or three players and then place all of the rest of their bids. Sometimes they add more bids if they start to run low.
• Some shoppers place all of their bids at the beginning and often run out of bids before the auction closes, depending on how many bids they placed.
