Did you ever participate in an “auction blast” on DealDash.com?

What do I mean by an “auction blast?” When DealDash has an “auction blast” event, it means they have a large number of a specific auction item and open the auction all at the same time. For example, at the time of this writing, DealDash is holding an “auction blast” of 50 state bid packs that are all going up for auction at 5 p.m. Pacific Time (which is my time zone).

By the time you read this blog, this “auction blast” will have come and gone. However, DealDash is sure to have more “auction blasts” in the future.

Best Strategy

During this event, shoppers might ask, “What should I do and where should I start when I see 50 of the same item go up for auction all at the same time?” The greatest challenge during this event is figuring out what might be the best winning strategy. Should we place a few bids on several of the auctions, several bids on a few of the auctions or all of our bids on one auction? We might also wonder if we would be better off choosing to bid on one of the first auctions or one of the last ones listed. Perhaps we might try one strategy one time and another strategy the next time to see which one works best.

Regardless of the strategy we choose, we might have an even better opportunity to become one of the winners in the next “auction blast.” This event really breaks up any monotony and can be great fun.

One way to stretch our budget go a long way is by shopping for bargains, and one of the best places to do that is by shopping on DealDash.com. I got many great bargains here.

DealDash is also one of the best shopping sites we could find when it comes to getting outstanding gifts for our family members and friends at bargain prices, too.

It’s not easy to come up with the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Christmas and other special occasions. It’s also not easy to find high-quality gifts when we are on a tight budget. Yet, it is important to ensure that when we do give loves ones gifts, it will be something they will appreciate and actually use.

This year I gave my granddaughter several practical gifts for her birthday–items I knew she could use but probably would not purchase for herself. DealDash has many products like this that go up for auction on a regular basis.

Let’s take a look at some of the auction products that everybody can always find useful.

• Linens, such as sheet sets and comforters. The sheet sets and comforters often sell at bargain prices and the auctions are fairly easy to win.
• Tools, such as jigsaws and hunting knives. The hunting knives often sell for a bargain price. With a good bidding strategy, shoppers could get a bargain deal on the jigsaw, too.

Shopping on DealDash might be the perfect place to go to get a high-quality gift at a bargain price. I’ll see you there!

Have you ever participated in a bidding spree or billing blast on DealDash.com?

How it works

Every once in a while DealDash puts everything up for auction all at the same time. DealDash announces ahead of time exactly when they will offer a bidding spree or bidding blast. On the days it happens, it is usually scheduled to begin at 3 or 5 p.m.

With everything going up for auction at the same time, customers hardly know which auctions to bid on first. I figured that most customers might go for the first auctions located upfront. Therefore, my strategy was to go to one of the last auctions, where I might not have as much competition.

Customer’s Delight

I’m told that some customers tend to win more than one auction during the bidding sprees on DealDash. Perhaps that’s because the power bidders cannot be everywhere at the same time. During regular auctions, I often find the same power bidders participating in every auction. That’s far less likely to happen during bidding sprees.

Watch

I’m sure DealDash will offer more bidding sprees in the future. It’s pretty exciting, so if you have never shopped during a bidding spree, you might want to try it.

We can find many auction items that would make excellent Christmas gifts on DealDash.com. If we start shopping now, we might even get these items at a bargain price. Below is a list of some products most people would be happy to receive.

High-quality Watches

Anyone can purchase a cheap watch, but if we want to get a high-quality watch at a price we can afford, DealDash is the best place to shop for one. DealDash offers both men’s and women’s elegantly-styled watches at Buy It Now prices of $1,500 or so, but many DealDash shoppers win auctions for far less than that.

In just the last month, one style of the two $1,500 men’s watches sold 17 times for only $100 or less (counting the cost of bids). Also, in the last month, the $1,500 women’s watch sold 16 times for less than $100 (counting the cost of bids). Therefore, the opportunity to get a high-end watch for less than $100 is extremely high.

Leather Brief Cases

How about shopping for 100 percent top-grain leather brief cases? DealDash auctions one style brief case that has a BIN price of $2,250 but winning shoppers have been receiving fantastic bargain prices. In the last two weeks, five shoppers got this brief case for only $12.81 or less, including the cost of bids used to win the auction.

Another Pebble leather brief case that comes with a cross body strap retails for $1,225. It has two interior compartments and two zip compartments. Because of high demand for this particular brief case, it has been selling for more than the other one, but one shopper recently got it for only $111.80 counting the cost of bids used to win it. That’s still a great bargain.

Duffel Gym Bag

DealDash has something for more practical shoppers, too.  How about a well-constructed, water-resistant duffel bag that would be perfect to take to the gym? This bag has a BIN price of $120 but two winners got this bag in just the last week for the bargain prices of only $12.06 and $10.81 (counting the cost of bids used).
