Useful tips on how to win auctions
Congratulations! You just won 500 bids for sharing this great idea with us:
“It would really be nice if earned badges would show on each bidder. We would get to know each other more other than descriptions that some really don’t care to fill up.”
Welcome to the DealDash Top Tip Round-Up series. The folks here at DealDash Tips Blog love to share all of our tips with you. In this series, we highlight some of the most interesting tips from the previous week. We love to share our knowledge with all of the new DealDash bidders on DealDash. Read on for a recap of the best tips from last week.
October 19th’s blog was all about ideas. Barbara suggested that DealDash would be interested in hearing our ideas from the customer’s perspective. She wrote:
Perhaps DealDash could have a “Best Idea Contest.” We could all have a part in helping to keep this shopping site fun and exciting if we could win free bids for sending in the “best idea of the month.”
Isn’t that an excellent idea? My personal idea for DealDash is that the winner gets to choose the size and color of an item if there are different options that they carry in their inventory. For example, DealDash has some very lovely high-end sheets that come in both King and Queen-sized, and in white, cream, blue, and sage green. Wouldn’t it be nice to bid on just a “sheet set” and get to choose your options afterward?
October 20th’s blog was about having a good time while you are bidding on DealDash. The top tip of that article was to utilize DealDash’s different ways to get free bids. Bidding on DealDash using free bids is a completely risk-free way to have a good time. A way that was suggested to get free bids was to take photos with your wins and post them to DealDash’s Facebook page. Give it a try!
Using the DealDash app was the theme of October 21st’s blog. It was mentioned that not everyone has a computer, and some folks just use a smartphone these days. From the article:
“However, if you want to use your smartphone as a computer, no problem! Simply download the DealDash app. Again, here is the link to download the free app.”
Using the DealDash ap is not the traditional way to bid – but DealDash isn’t your typical traditional bidding site, either! Use technology to your advantage and download and use the DealDash app. You can get the app for free at this link here.
October 22nd’s blog was extolling the virtues of DealDash and letting the readers know why people love bidding so much. Barbara mentioned many great reasons why customers love our site, but my own personal reason that DealDash keeps me coming back is free shipping. DealDash offers free shipping on every single item from the smallest gift card up to the biggest piece of lawn equipment and everything in-between. This is a far cry from some of the other bidding sites that charge you $3 to ship a gift card. Three dollars, for something that costs them just one stamp. DealDash would never do that to you. And that’s just one reason among many that people love DealDash.
I hope that you found this DealDash Tips article with some top tips for October 28th helpful. Remember to check the Tips blog daily, because you can never learn too much about bidding.

Do Not Waste Bids
By Barbara
To shop on DealDash.com we must have a nice supply of bids, and we can get them three different ways:
Regardless, how we get our bids, the last thing smart shoppers want to do is to waste the bids we have, but I am sure we all have done that at times. Most of us have probably heard the quote by Benjamin Franklin, “A penny saved is a penny earned.” In this case, a bid saved is a bid earned. Therefore, to successfully shop on DealDash, we should not waste bids. Bids costs money and if we waste bids, we waste money.
Here are some rules to follow to get the most out of our bids and make them last longer:
Always Buy Bids on Sale
At the beginning of every month, we should figure out how much money we can afford to spend on bids. Then wait until the bid packs go on sale at the lowest price per bid and purchase all of our bids for the entire month. When our bids run out, we know we are done shopping until the next month.
Never Bid When tired
Do not bid whenever you are too tired. Whenever I am tired, I get lazy and do not do everything I can to save bids or bid smart. It is easy to place a large number of bids into the automated bidder, BidBuddy, but that is the lazy way of bidding. If we want to save bids, we must be actively engaged in the bidding process of all of our auctions. If we are using bids when there are five or more active participants, chances are we are wasting bids. To save bids, we must be willing to watch the bidding process so we can delete our bids when it makes sense and add bids when it makes sense. If we save most of our bids until the auction gets down to the last two players, chances are much better that we will have enough bids left to win the auction.

How to Find and Score New Items on DealDash
Now more than ever, as we get closer to the holidays, you may find that DealDash not only brings back old favorites into the mix but also adds new and exciting items for those looking for super bargains and great gift-giving ideas.
How to find new items
The best and fastest way to find new items is to click on the Browse categories drop-down menu just under the main banner on the home page of the DealDash site. Once you do that, click on New items to browse some of the new items up for bids in the auctions.
Use the search function
If you’re a fan of shopping for certain brands on DealDash, try typing in the brand name in the search box to see if there are new items being offered with that brand. If you’re familiar with the current offerings, any new offerings will jump right out you as pleasant additions.
Bookmark new faves
Once you’ve identified the new items you’d like to win, be sure to bookmark them by clicking on the clear star in the upper right hand corner of the auction. Once you do, the star will turn yellow and you the item will move to the top of your page.
Alert! Alert!
Along with bookmarking the new items you’re interested in, check the blue Alert me box. Once you click on that box, it will turn from blue to red and you will receive an email within eight hours of when the auction will be available for auction.
Wish List it!
Oftentimes you can either grab a new item early and at a great bargain before others have noticed it’s being offered. This is why being aware of new items and using alerts and bookmarks can be a lifesaver. On the flip side of that, there may be a stretch where you find that many people have discovered it and want it as badly as you do so be aware early and get in on the wins!
It’s always great to see new products offered, especially around the holidays when a greater selection is always welcomed. Check out DealDash for all its old standbys and all its upcoming new items as well.
Good luck and happy bidding on DealDash!
