Planning Ahead On DealDash

By Barbara

How much do you plan ahead when bidding on DealDash.com? Planning ahead is a great idea. Are you a spur-of-the-moment shopper, or do you carefully select the items you want to win and plan ahead?

Do you know that we can look ahead and see which auctions are coming up as much as 23 to 24 hours beforehand? Although auctions do not become available for active bidding until the last 10 seconds on the clock, we are still allowed to place bids into the automated bidder, BidBuddy.

This feature that allows us to place bids into BidBuddy ahead of time really comes in handy for the following reasons:

We might not be at home or available to participate in the auction at the time that it is scheduled to become active
We might have had a long, hard day and will be asleep in bed at the time the auction becomes active
We might simply be busy and do not want to take a chance of getting in on a particular auction the next time it becomes available.

If we look ahead to see what auctions are scheduled, we could find out if the auction we would like to win is coming up at a different time when the competition might be lower. We could also be among the first shoppers to get in on new auction products before some other customers even notice they are there.

DealDash Top Tips Round-Up 12/06

DealDash

Welcome to DealDash’s Weekly Top Tip Round-Up. Tonight we are going to round up some of the top tips for you from last week. Read on for more information from DealDash Tips.

Welcome to the new edition of the DealDash Top Tip Round-Up series. All of the bloggers here at the DealDash Tips Blog love to share all of our tips with you. In this series, we always highlight the most helpful tips from the previous week. We love to share our knowledge with all of the new DealDash bidders on DealDash. Read on for a recap of the best tips from last week.

Changing Strategies from the November 30th Blog

The theme of November 30th’s blog was how to survive the holiday rush on DealDash. The top tip of that blog was to change up your strategy if you feel yourself getting a little complacent. The advice from blogger Theresa suggested:

“Maybe you bid from the get-go early on and stay the course or drop out after a certain number of bids. Maybe you’re a mid-auction bidder, watch a bit and then jump in when the bidders thin out a bit. Or maybe you’re a dreaded last-minute jumper who waits until there are just a few bidders left to place your first bid. Whichever type of bidder you normally are, try changing up your strategy and see what happens.” -Theresa

Get Free Bids from the December 1st Blog

December 1st’s blog was 3 suggestions how you can make your DealDash experience better. The top tip from that blog was to make sure that you are taking advantage of the free bids that DealDash offers. That blog suggested that you can earn free bids by both bidding in auctions and also by exchanging some of your wins to get more bids.

Get What You Want from the December 2nd Blog

The blog on December 2nd was some tips that made sense when you are trying to get wins. The best and most useful tip on that article was to decide what you want and just go for it. If there’s an item in your household that you were planning on buying anyway it just makes sense to put enough bids in your BidBuddy to reach the BIN (Buy It Now) price.

How Did You Discover DealDash?

By Barbara

Many people discover DealDash.com from one of its TV commercials, but I first learned about DealDash before the company had a TV commercial.

Back in 2012, I was doing research for a technical speech topic for Toastmasters International. After checking out several online penny-auction shopping sites, I selected four of them to do a study to determine which one I liked best. DealDash was one of them, and I’ve been shopping on DealDash ever since.

The Christmas season is an especially good time to tell family and friends about DealDash. I tell family and friends about it every chance I get. In fact, some of my family and friends now call me “Miss DealDash.”

Some things we could share about DealDash are:

Excellent customer service
Free shipping with no hidden charges
Reliable, fair and honest
Wide variety of high-quality products
Excellent automated bidder, BidBuddy that places bids for us so we do not have to be stuck to our computer or mobile devices
Easy to use web page
Bid packs that go on sale
Apps are available for mobile devices
Special features to keep the shopping site fun and interesting

Regardless how you first discover DealDash, do not be shy about sharing it with others.

DealDash Tips That Make Sense

After you’ve been bidding on DealDash for a while there are certain tips that just make sense. Read on to see what these tips are and how to use them.

How long have you been bidding on DealDash? If you just signed up today, great! Welcome to DealDash. However, if you have been bidding on DealDash for a while then you have probably figured out some tips and tricks that just make sense to you. I know I have! Now it’s time to share them. Read this article to get more information on tips that make sense.

Only Bid on Things You Want

Only bid on what you want? What does that mean? It means, of course, that you shouldn’t just be throwing your bids around on anything and everything that you see. That just doesn’t make any sense. For example, I have seen the same bidder bid on 3 different sizes of shoes. That just doesn’t make sense! Of course, they could have been bidding on them for a gift, but I just thought that it was a little odd.

Do keep in mind, though, if you win an item in a certain size you may not swap it for a different size. Personally, I won a sweater a month or so ago. After looking at the size chart I realized that my “regular” size in this sweater wouldn’t fit me, and I emailed customer service to ask if I could swap the size. Unfortunately, they explained that they only have a certain number of each item in each size, so therefore I couldn’t swap. They suggested that I swap my win for bids. This was a fine solution.

When You Want Something, Go Get It!

What I mean by this is that if you see the perfect item for you on DealDash, you should put enough bids in to reach the retail price. Why? Because if you still don’t win the auction after you have put the bids in to reach the price you can always do a BIN, or Buy It Now, and get all of your bids back. You’ll also get free and fast shipping.

For example, I knew that I was getting a kitten. I had been on a waiting list for a particular breed of kitten for 2 years, so I knew that the time was coming. When I saw that DealDash had the Littermaid Self-Cleaning Cat Box, I knew that I would be getting it, whether it was a win or a BIN. This was 100% a product that I had planned on purchasing anyway, so it just made good sense to try as hard as I could to win it. Unfortunately, I wasn’t the winner of the auction, but I was still happy. I was able to do a BIN, get all of my bids back, get free shipping, and keep the clock time that I accumulated while I was bidding. Side note: Best BIN ever!
