Tips for Buying Cameras from DealDash

Canon EOS 70D Digital SLR Camera with 18–55mm STM Lens

Many people enjoy photography as a hobby. Luckily, DealDash has cameras. Here are some tips for buying cameras.

You don’t have to be a professional photographer to want a nice camera. Almost all cameras sold now are digital cameras, so that’s what we will be talking about today. If you need an “old school” film camera, you will probably need to go to a specialized shop. However, if you’re thinking about getting a great new digital camera, let DealDash Tips help you.

Decide What Type of Camera

Once you’ve got your mind set on getting a digital camera, there are still more decisions to be made. There are quite a few choices, but I will narrow them down to three of the choices that DealDash typically stocks. If you want to skip the article and get straight into looking at cameras, you can do so at this link right here.

  1. Point and Shoot – The point and shoot camera is the easiest type of digital camera to use. This is the type of digital camera that you will want to get, especially if you plan on letting any kids use it. Yes, they really are easy enough that a child can use it! Just turn it on, and take pictures! You can typically view the pictures on a small screen in the back of the camera, and choose to erase them or keep them there. When you want to transfer them to a computer there are a few different options. Some use a removable memory card, some plug into a computer with a USB cord, and others transfer by wi-fi. Choose wisely when you are deciding which type of picture transfer you prefer. DealDash often has this type of camera up for auction. Some are even geared primarily towards children, and others are for adults.
  2. Action Camera – If you’re interested in taking more than just pictures of people standing still or objects, then you might want an action camera. There are great to take on vacation, as they usually include accessories to make the camera waterproof. This is also the type of camera that you’ll want to get if you like to participate in any kind of sports such as surfing, skateboarding, rock climbing, or just about any sport! These cameras are primarily used as video cameras, but you can take still photos with them as well. DealDash often has action cameras up for auction.
  3. High-End Digital Camera. The high-end digital camera is more than your typical person needs to just take quick photos of their families or on vacation. These high-end cameras have interchangeable lenses, built-in filters, nigh modes, choice of ISO, and many, many other features that you couldn’t even imagine getting with either of the other types of cameras mentioned. DealDash usually has at least one of these up for auction every week.

No matter which type of camera that you choose, DealDash has you covered! Check into any of these camera types by going to the DealDash Electronics and Computers category.

 Remember Your Budget from the February 19th Blog

The blog on February 19th was regarding tips for everyone to keep in mind, in other words, the basics. There were a few excellent tried and true tips in there, but the tip to remember from that blog was to set and stick to a bidding budget. From that blog:

“You’ll need money to buy bids, pay final auction values, and also do any BINs (Buy It Now) that you deem important. Make sure that you stick to your budget, and don’t go over because then you will be short on your bidding budget for the following month.  ”

Happy Birthday DealDash from the February 25th Blog

February 25th’s blog was all about DealDash celebrating their nine year birthday. Theresa wrote about a few different promotions, but the limited wins promo was the most exciting. From the blog:

“With this promotion, bidders can win up to five items per day. This is exciting news as it creates less competition once other bidders reach their limit of five items won each day.”

Go Wild! From the February 26th Blog

February 26th’s blog was filled with some hot DealDash Tips. A helpful suggestion from this article was to go wild and step out of your comfort zone. From the blog:

“Do you ever find yourself stuck in a bit of a rut while you are bidding? Well, maybe it’s time to do some different things. Go bid in a different category, bid on something that you would never have tried to bid on before, or even throw in some bids on a huge bid pack!”

High Dollar and Low Dollar from February 27th’s Blog

February 22nd’s blog was all about the differences in bidding on high or low dollar items on DealDash. Barbara wrote about a few differences, but the big take-away from that article was to pay attention to your budget before bidding. From the blog:

“Bottom line: Before bidding in an auction, we should first look at our budget and number of bids we have, check the retail value of the products, look at the competition and then decide.”

DealDash Tips: Don’t Forget to Bid!

DealDash

Have you ever seen an item on DealDash and thought “I gotta have that!” but then you forget to come back and bid on the item? That is so frustrating! Here are some tips from DealDash to prevent that from happening again.

Picture it, you are browsing around on DealDash and see the perfect item for your home, family, or friend. You think to yourself “I’ll come back later when the bidding is open on this item. Then you walk away and forget about the item. Later you think “Oh no!! I missed that auction!!” I can’t even tell you how many times that has happened to me over the years. It’s a really frustrating experience that doesn’t have to happen to you again! DealDash has implemented a few handy ways that you can prevent this from happening again.

Alerts for the Future

If you have been browsing for something special in an upcoming auction and you spot the item of your dreams it would be a shame to miss out on it. However, if the item isn’t scheduled yet, then you have run into a pickle since you can’t set a BidBuddy for an item that doesn’t have a scheduled start time.

No problem, ladies and gentlemen! DealDash has something called “Alerts” that you can set for the future. You can set an alert for anything in the DealDash product catalog that there isn’t currently an auction scheduled to start soon. Search for anything that you would like or need, and click on the picture when it comes up. If there isn’t an auction scheduled for that item in the near future you will see a little button that says “Alert Me”. Just click that button and DealDash will send you an email when they have scheduled an auction that that item, and then again when it is about to start. I have set alerts for a few things over the years that I ended up with such as my “no touch” stainless garbage can and my automatic cat box. I love the alerts feature because I have a terrible memory!

Bookmarking for the Present

Bookmarking is more for when you are browsing the auctions for the next few hours. If you are on the main page of DealDash you can look ahead for the next 24 hours or so. Bookmarking is so you can remember where an auction is that is starting soon so you don’t need to search for it again. You can bookmark any auctions that you see that have a starting time. If you’re not sure if you want to book a BidBuddy for a particular auction or not, then bookmarking is your next best plan. Simply click the star in the upper right corner, and the auction will be moved to your home page where the active auctions are.

Low Retail or High Retail Auctions on DealDash

When shopping on DealDash.com, do you look for low-retail or high-retail auctions?

Let’s look at some of the reasons we might choose low-retail auctions over playing high-retail auctions instead.

Low-Retail Auctions

  • Low-retail auctions are less risky. Therefore, shoppers on tight budget might be better off competing in these auctions. If we bid in low-retail auctions we probably will not need to use nearly as many bids and we will be far less likely to lose money. If we do not win, all we have to do is Buy-It-Now and get all our bids back free.
  • Low-retail auctions might not be as popular as the high-retail auctions and, therefore, might be more likely to have less competition and be easier to win.

High-Retail Auctions

  • High-retail auctions are more risky. If we bid in high-retail auctions, we would most likely have to use a lot more bids and we might not be able to afford to purchase the product if we lose. In that case, if we lose the auction, we would also lose all of our bids.
  • High-retail auctions might also be more popular and have stronger competition. Wealthy players, who can afford to purchase several large packages of bids, are more likely to shop for the high-dollar items.

Bottom line: Before bidding in an auction, we should first look at our budget and number of bids we have, check the retail value of the products, look at the competition and then decide.
