Tips to Staying Positive – Losing on DealDash

DealDash

Everyone loses sometimes, and it’s important to stay and stay positive even when you’re not winning. Here are some tips from DealDash to help.

We’ve all been there – we begin bidding in an auction, and there are only a few people. You see that the people are new when their bidding bios pop up as they bid. “Oh, this will be easy,” you say, “I’m sure to win.” However, the people keep bidding, and other people keep joining, until there are now 25 different people bidding on this auction. You’re now feeling less and less confident by the moment. We’ve all had this happen to us, and believe me, it’s no fun. However, this isn’t the end of the world. There will be other auctions, and you will win bigger and better things in time. Here are some tips from DealDash to help you through the rough spots.

There’s Always BIN (Buy It Now)

In the above situation that I described there are basically two courses of action – drop out of the auction and lose your bids, or do a BIN. A Buy It Now is the wisest way to use your money and bids on DealDash. With BIN, if you have bid to many times and are still not going to win the item you can purchase it at the retail price that is listed on the auction page. After you have paid you will have all of the bids that you spent on the auction returned to your account. If you’re bidding on an auction that you’re really interested in having, and if you’ve bid close to the purchase price, it only makes sense to do a Buy It Now on the auction.

Remember That There Will Be Other Auctions

DealDash often has the same products available to win every few days or so. And in some cases multiple items of the same kind every day. If you’re losing an auction and you haven’t invested too many bids on it, then maybe you should just bow out, walk away, and find a similar auction the next day. You can easily do a search for anything that you would like to bid on in the search bar on the main page. There are very few things on DealDash that will never show up again. Typically the same items are offered, however, if there is an item that you’re really interested in and you don’t see it in the upcoming auctions, feel free to email DealDash customer service. They do their best to put up items that they know that the bidders are interested in.

Go For Easy Wins On DealDash

When I find myself getting into a losing streak on DealDash, I know I’m doing something wrong and all I have to do is to fix it.

The fastest way to pull myself out of a losing streak is to go for “easy wins.” The excellent way the DealDash shopping site is set up makes it really easy to find an “easy win” auction.

First of all, what do I mean by an “easy win?”

“Easy win” auctions often close for less than $1. There are a couple ways to quickly identify which auctions fall into this category.

Winners’ List

First, we can take a look at the “Winner’s List” and look for auctions that closed for the least amount of money. Second, we can open various auctions and see the closing cost of the last seven to nine auctions.

Some auctions might close for as little as a penny one time and go for as high as $20 another time. What we need to look for is a pattern of auctions that often closes for less than $1. How low we go might depend on how many bids we have or can afford. The idea is to find the auctions where we can get the most “bang for our buck.”

Jewelry Bargains

Right now, the auctions that are closing for the least amount of money are the earrings and necklaces, but this can change. Next month, it could be something else.

If we can win a pair of earrings that retail for $99 to $180 for less than $1 we would be getting an excellent bargain. If the earrings closed high the last two or three times, chances are fairly good they will close for a lower cost the next time.

If you bid in the “easy win” auctions, I am very confident you will have a pleasant surprise. I did!

DealDash Tips for When You’re Out of Ideas

DealDash

Are you feeling stagnant and out of bidding ideas on DealDash? Maybe it’s time to go back to your roots!

Remember when you first started bidding on DealDash and everything was new and exciting? How you read everything you could about bidding, and how you watched videos to try and get extra tips and tricks? Those days might be behind you now that you’ve been bidding on DealDash for a while, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t turn back the clock and get back to being really invested in spending a lot of time studying up on bidding and strategy.  Let’s think back, with DealDash…

Are You Still Doing Research?

It’s important that you are still doing research on both products, categories, and bidders. DealDash has millions of registered users and gains hundreds more each day. Not only does DealDash get new users daily, it seems like they get new products practically every day as well. Just because you’ve been bidding for a while doesn’t mean that there aren’t still things that you can do research on and learn. Personally, I love reading the DealDash sponsored blogs written by other people. It always gives me different insights and tips.

Remember, research bidders and products in your spare time. If there’s a week that you don’t have any bids to use, visit the auctions anyway and take notes on the other bidders and the final auction prices of any of the items that you are interested in winning.

Does DealDash Still Excite You?

When I first discovered DealDash years ago I was so excited to get home and bid on DealDash. Instead of watching TV in the evenings I would just TiVo my shows so I could play on DealDash. Those were great days, full of excitement and wins and discovery. After a couple of years, though, I found myself not bidding quite as often and things just weren’t as exciting for me. Had DealDash changed? Nope! DealDash is still as exciting as ever, it was me who had gotten stagnant.

How did I get into a rut? By bidding on the same things over and over again. I was not only bidding on the same things, but I was also bidding the same way. Once I broke out of my rut and started bidding on different things and switching up my strategies then DealDash became as exciting as ever! Give it a try. Bid in a different category, bid on new and different things. Use a different strategy. All of these things will lead to getting back to the excitement and adventure that you once had.

Thanks for Reading the Tips Blog

I hope this article has encouraged you to think about how you can make things exciting on DealDash again. Go ahead check out the auctions on DealDash. Visit DealDash now to see what’s up for bid. DealDash has everything you need. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Switch It Up On DealDash

What do I mean by “switch it up?” I mean, if one way of bidding on DealDash is not working for you, try something else. One of the best ways to “switch it up” is by changing the day or times of the day you are bidding.

You have probably heard a popular meaning of insanity–doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Likewise, if you play on DealDash the same way over and over again, chances are you will not have a different (or better) result.

Good Days, Bad Days

Long-time customers who have been having fun shopping on DealDash for several years already know that some days we might win several auctions and other days we might not win even one. Therefore, changing the days or time of day we bid might be just what we need to do to start winning more auctions.

Week Ends, Holidays

Fridays might be the best times to win auctions when other DealDash shoppers are going to movies or weekend parties. Other times, when other players get home from work, Friday evenings might be the busiest time of the week because some players might choose to use their leisure time to have fun on DealDash.

Holidays could be the best times to win auctions, too. Most likely, the majority of other customers might be too busy doing other things, such as traveling or spending time with family.

In other words, if we continually “switch it up,” we will eventually have a winning streak on DealDash and that’s when it’s most fun to shop.
