New to DealDash? Five Things You Need to Know to Get Winning

DealDash is becoming more and more known—and more and more popular! More than ever before, the number of new bidders in increasing on a regular basis and with that comes a welcome introduction of five things you need to know as a new bidder.

Discover the Tools

DealDash makes it easy for new bidders to learn what they need to know through their How it Works tab. Within this section you will find many sections on how to get started, a fantastic tutorial and tips and tricks. Work through each tab to educate yourself before you get started. And don’t forget to check in regularly for customer-written blogs like this one!

Bid Buddy is Your Best Friend

It’s true! Never miss out on the auction you want to win or get distracted by a doorbell and lose an auction again! Just pre-set the number of bids you want to place in an auction and Bid Buddy will do all the work for you, placing your bids, one at a time, at just the right second.

Don’t be a Stomper or a Jumper

Nothing is more annoying than a “stomper.” This is someone who places one bid directly after each person on the bidding board. Doing so prevents the ten-second time from counting down for that person and prevents them from getting the “time as highest bidder” they could earn toward free bids. Use Bid Buddy instead. It’s a safer bet, you’ll use less bids and be more likely to win in the long run. Being a “jumper” is when you wait until there are just a few people in the auction remaining and “jump” in to start your bidding. Oftentimes other bidders who have been in the auction a while will just see this as a reason to raise their bidding stakes and outbid you because they’re in it for the long haul.

Set Your Sights on Items You Want to Win

This is the No. 1 rule of DealDash, by the way. Bid only on the items you want to win. This is a tough one but it makes so much sense. Not only will you invest in what you want, but you’ll also not feel so deflated if you happen to lose. The best part of adhering to this rule of thumb is that you will be more likely to use the Buy it Now feature and get all your bids on that item returned to your account. It’s a win-win!

Try Different Days and Different Times

Always ask yourself if you are bidding during a day or time when most other people you know have “down time” to do so also (is it evening, holiday or a weekend?) and if the answer is yes, then chances are the competition may be higher during these times. Try bidding during an uncommon day or time and you may just score the big win!

I hope these tips will be helpful and I hope that before you know it you will be winning big on DealDash! Happy bidding!

Watch Carefully

You should try to watch each auction before you jump into the bidding. There are lots of things that you can learn just by watching the auction. For example, you can figure out who is using a BidBuddy if you watch carefully enough. If you are a new bidder and haven’t figured out how to tell who’s using a BidBuddy, it’s easy. Just look for patterns in the bidder’s name. They will bid in the exact same order with around 2 seconds left on the clock.

Speaking of BidBuddy

Once you see that pretty much everyone is using the BidBuddy, you’ll want to use him, too. The BidBuddy is how the majority of people win auctions on DealDash. Using the BidBuddy makes sense because you will never have an instance of bidding too slowly and missing out on an auction. Also, if you’re bidding on a snowy day like today then you have to worry about power outages and internet interruptions. With the BidBuddy you don’t have to worry about these things. As long as you have put bids into the BidBuddy he will keep bidding for you even if your power goes out or you lose your internet connection. That’s an important tip to keep in mind on a snow day!

Tips Everyone Should Know on DealDash

Are you ever bidding on DealDash and wonder why people do certain things? They might just not know any better!

For those bidders who don’t know any better, here is a collection of things that everyone should know on DealDash. Some of these tips might seem obvious to more experienced bidders, but for newer bidders, they might not seem so obvious. Remember, not everyone knows everything! People have knowledge in different areas, so here is a little bit of information to catch up the people who haven’t been informed yet.

Always, Always, Always Use Your BidBuddy

If you haven’t been informed, yet, he BidBuddy is your secret weapon to winning an auction. Almost all of the bidders on DealDash are using the BidBuddy – the few bidders that aren’t using him typically just don’t understand how he works. In fact, not using him can put you at a disadvantage since most other bidders are using him. It would be different if the majority of bidders were placing single-bids, but they aren’t. The fact is, some DealDash auctions last for multiple hours, and even days, there’s no way a person could sit there and place single-bids for that long of a time period.

If you need BidBuddy instructions, no problem. Here’s how to use him:

Open up an auction item’s single page. Looking at the item’s page, you will see two ways to bid. There is a “Bid Now” button and the BidBuddy. The Bid Now button is there to place single-bids. The BidBuddy area has a white space, and that’s where you will input the number of bids you want to use on this auction. After putting in the number, click “Book a BidBuddy” and your BidBuddy will now be set and ready to go. You can cancel these bids or add more bids at any time. You can even cancel the BidBuddy, and come back later on and re-start him if the auction is still running.

Always Use BIN to Get Your Bids Back

Learning how to use Buy It Now (BIN) is the biggest favor that you can do for yourself on DealDash. Do you know how the company DealDash was started? The founder, William Wolfram, was using an online auction and used all of his bids. He had nothing to show for it, and no way to get his bids back. He started DealDash with the intention of no one else having to go through his bad experience with online bidding.

Using the Buy It Now (BIN) feature is super simple, and you can use it on any auction that you have placed at least one bid in. Here’s how it works. On every auction, you will see a big black box on the right-hand side of the page where you can see the details of the ongoing auction. At the bottom of the box, you will see a button that says “Buy this item for ___” When you have decided that you don’t want to bid anymore, just click that box. You will be taken to a screen to buy the item and complete your payment. After you have paid for the item DeaDash will refund all of your bids that you used to try and win this particular item. They will also ship the item to you for free.

DealDash Tips to Terrific Wins

DealDash

Welcome back to DealDash Tips Blog! Are you ready for some tips to net yourself some terrific wins? Read on for more information.

On DealDash there is someone winning an auction every few minutes. Why not you? Don’t be afraid to take the plunge and jump into the bidding fun on DealDash and get some terrific wins today. There are many ways to bid and so many different items that you can choose from. Read on for some tips from DealDash to get you started on your way to some terrific wins.

Win Small Items First

Getting started on DealDash just takes a moment, and before you know it you’ll be ready to bid on auctions. How will you know what to bid on first? I’ll be the first to admit that when I first started on DealDash I had no idea what I was doing and wasted quite a few bids as I was figuring out what I was doing.

One of the biggest mistakes that I made right away was to bid on items that were too big and expensive. Now, that’s not to say that a newbie couldn’t win a big expensive auction, but it’s unlikely. This is because there are so many people that are interested in big expensive items, and many of them have been bidding on DealDash for years and have developed a good technique. As a newbie, it makes much more sense for you to bid on easier and less competitive auctions.

Things like lower value gift cards, jewelry, flashlights, games and Blu-Rays tend to have less competition than expensive items like laptops, iPads, and video game consoles. Of course, bid on whatever you feel like using your bids on, but it’s significantly more likely that you will win a terrific smaller item as a newbie.

Always Use BidBuddy

If you’re a newbie you should definitely acquaint yourself with my pal, the BidBuddy. The BidBuddy will bid for you when you aren’t at your computer, or when you are but would prefer to watch the action closely instead of concentrating on bidding. The BidBuddy will bid for you with as many bids as you allocate to him until he runs out or you cancel him. Get to know BidBuddy, it’s worth it!
