Exchanging Won Products for More DealDash Bids

Why would we want to exchange auction products won on DealDash.com for more bids? Let us take a look at some reasons we might choose to do that or might not choose to do that.

Reasons to Exchange for Bids

If we exchange an auction product we won for bids instead, we do not have to pay the closing price for the product. We can get the bids free. If the closing cost is higher than we anticipated, it might be better exchanging the auction product for free bids instead.
If we win a product for just a few bids, but we could exchange it for a lot more bids, we might want the bids more than the product.
If I see an auction product that looks like it will close for just a few bids, I might not really want or need the product, but I might place some bids on it, anyway, if I have a good chance of winning so I can exchange it for more bids.
Perhaps we did not yet win the merit badge for exchanging a product for free bids. If we are trying to win more merit badges, we might want to make an exchange to win that particular badge.

Reasons Not to Exchange for Bids

When I win an auction, the number of bids being offered in exchange for my auction product might not appear to be worth the exchange. Sometimes I might think a higher number of bids should be offered to make it more equivalent to the value of the product.
If I win a high-dollar, hard-to-win auction product, that took me a long time to win, I will not exchange it for free bids, especially if I’m not allowed to win more than one.
If I win a product that rarely goes up for auction, I most likely would not want to exchange it for bids.

Bottom Line

I can see both advantages and disadvantages for exchanging a winning auction for bids. We each must weigh the pros and cons and decide for ourselves if it makes sense to do so or not.

DealDash Tips to Scope Out the Competition

There are lots of reasons that you want to scope out the competition on DealDash. Here are some ways that you can accomplish that with some tips from DealDash.

Why would you want to examine the competition on DealDash? Many reasons! For starters, if you can recognize when people typically bow out of auctions it could be very helpful for you. It is also helpful to know who truly is “in it to win it or BIN it” or if they really only spend 20-50 bids before giving up and moving on. These are only a few of the reasons why it’s helpful to learn about your competition. Read on for some tips and tricks on how to effectively scope out the competition on DealDash.

Don’t Bid – Just Observe – for Now

If you’re a newer bidder on DealDash and haven’t spent hundreds of hours watching auctions on your screen, then you might want to start by just watching auctions before you bid. This way you can get a feel for how long people typically stay in an auction, how many people stop bidding by $1 or $2 or $5, and also start to get familiar with some people’s screen names. This can be very handy information to know for the next time you are interested in participating in a similar auction.

Check Out the Winners

If you go to the main DealDash homepage and look at the top navigation bar you will see a tab called “Winners”. This tab has information on some of the most recent featured auctions that have closed within the past 24 hours on DealDash. If you click this tab you can see:

The item
It’s title
The winner’s name and their avatar
How much it sold for
How many bids the winner placed
What the estimated cost was for the winner
What the BIN (Buy It Now) price is
How long ago the auction closed

All of this information is extremely helpful when you are scoping out the competition. It’s good to check the Winner’s Tab every time you sign-in to DealDash to see what’s being won and for what price.

Make Notes

When you are scoping out the competition on DealDash, it would behoove you to make notes as you go along. There are so many different items and bidders on DealDash that it can be a little tricky to keep things straight after a while. This is especially true because so many people have similar bidding names – are you really going to remember if it was iLIKEtoWIN12 or LuvTOwin26 that bids until they reach the BIN price? You can make your notes on your “notepad” app on your computer, you could write it into an email that you send yourself, or you can even just use a plain old piece of paper and a pen. It’s up to you.
