Daily Bidding Challenge

Have you noticed the daily bidding challenges offered on DealDash.com? Better yet, have you started taking part in them?

In case you ever miss the “pop-up” notice when you log onto DealDash to do some shopping, you can find the daily bidding challenge by going to your dashboard and clicking on “Badges.”

Today’s bidding challenge is to participate in 25 auctions to receive a reward of 30 free bids added to your account. That means we would have to place at least one bid in 25 auctions. Now how could we go wrong by participating in this challenge? We only need to invest 25 bids to get 30 bids in return, so that would give us five more bids than what we had when we started.

Some of the daily bidding challenges are a little more difficult than others. Sometimes we have to win an auction to receive the free bids or we might even have to win more than one auction to receive the free bids offered for the day. Once we had to book two BidBuddies and once we had to purchase an auction product using “Buy-It-Now” to qualify for the free daily bid offer.

Regardless of what the daily bidding challenge might be, it’s important to sign in to DealDash every day to find out if it’s an easy challenge to do or not. It certainly provides more incentives to participate and breaks up any boredom we might have.

So why not be a DealDash sport and join the fun?  I’ll see you there!

More Bids for Less Money

DealDash.com shoppers can now receive more bids for less money.

The bigger the bid pack we DealDash shoppers purchase, the less we might pay per bid. Just a couple of days back, if you checked it out, the bid packs were listed at:

  • 50 bids = $7 (14 cents per bid)
  • 220 bids = $30.80 (14 cents per bid)
  • 600 bids = $78.00 (13 cents per bid
  • 2,400 bids = $288.00 (12 cents per bid)
  • 5,000 bids = $600 (12 cents per bid)

In other words, instead of buying several small bid packs, we might be able to save more money in the long run by purchasing a bigger bid pack instead.

This is something new that DealDash has just recently introduced. Regardless, if we can afford to purchase bigger bid packs or not, the sale prices of any of these bid packs are still a fairly good deal.

One reason DealDash has been in business for more than 10 years is because they are constantly looking for various ways to improve.

Some other changes DealDash has implemented over the last year are:

  • Set win limits, giving all customers an equal playground;
  • Made every BidBuddy bid placed count, giving us a full 9 seconds on the clock. Even if another bidder cuts the clock, we will still receive our full credit on the clock;
  • Offer some sale prices on various auctions for customers who use BIN.

To keep up with all of the latest and greatest changes on DealDash, it’s a good idea to keep checking back on a regular basis.

Happy shopping everyone!

DealDash 10-Year Wrap-up

DealDash.com first introduced its penny auction site Feb. 22, 2009, so they will be celebrating a 10-Year Wrap-up Grand Finale. That’s exciting because it means that DealDash and I have something special to celebrate at the same time–their anniversary and my birthday.

I’ve been an avid shopper on this site since Feb. 8, 2012, so I’ve watched DealDash grow and quickly become one of the most popular shopping sites online. I don’t know exactly what DealDash will do to celebrate, but I do know that every year on my birthday I can look forward to DealDash offering some new and exciting special features.

When I first started shopping on DealDash, the auctions were never closed to new bidders. New bidders used to be able to jump in at any time so the bidding could go on forever. Therefore, I was so happy when DealDash implemented their lock-out system after an auction reaches $5 (or $3 during special features) when no new bidders are locked out from joining the auction. That makes it fair and easier to win for all shoppers who start bidding at the beginning of the auctions.

Another change I like that DealDash made over the years is putting a limit on certain products per household. Customers are now limited to only one product each, or one per month of specific auction products. I really like this change because it helps to “spread the wealth” by giving more customers a better opportunity of winning an auction. By providing a list of shoppers who recently won the auction, it allows us to see which power bidders have already been locked out from bidding, which is another great thing to have.

In other words, DealDash is constantly looking for ways to improve to better meet customer needs.  That’s why it’s a good idea to come back to DealDash on a regular basis so we do not miss out on its most recent changes and/or special offers.

DealDash is still an exciting and fun place to shop.

Best DealDash Features

Do you have a favorite feature on DealDash.com?

Some customers shop on DealDash every day, but some customers might shop a lot more when their favorite feature comes up. Below are some of my favorite DealDash features.

One per Customer
One thing I like about this feature is that it’s available every day. All we have to do is look in the upper left corner of the auctions to find the little yellow square with the number 1. Whenever we see that, we know that auction product has a limit of “one per customer.” I love auctions that have a limit of “one per customer” because it prevents a handful of power bidders to win more than their fair share of the high-dollar items, and it might help the rest of us to win the product.

2X and 3X Time as highest bidder
Look at the green line at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. Whenever we see the 2X feature, we will get twice as much time on the clock as the highest bidder; and whenever we see the 3X feature, we will get three times, or 30 seconds for each bid on the timer, instead of just 10. In other words, placing 300 bids on a 3X feature is like placing 900 bids instead. That means our green line will move all the way to the right a lot faster and when it does, we will be able to collect some more free bids.

No New Bidders After $3
I love this feature because this usually means we will have less competition because all new players will be blocked from placing any bids once the auction price reaches $3 instead of $5 (or in the case of some cars, $1,000).

Fifty Percent Off to the Winner
This feature means that after the auction closes, DealDash will pay half of the selling price and the winner pays only the other half. In other words, if the auction closes at $50, DealDash will pay $25 and the winner will pay $25. During this feature, we have the opportunity to win some really great bargains.

If you have not shopped on DealDash during all of these special features, check it out. Features like these helps to keep DealDash a fun place to shop
