DealDash Tips to Bid While You’re Busy

Everyone these days is busy. How do you find the time to bid on DealDash? Let me give you some tips.

Bidding on DealDash is such a fun hobby, it’s really a stress reliever. I consider it one of my most beloved hobbies. I love to bid, and of course I love to win! But what about when I don’t have the time to bid? It makes me sad when I don’t bid on DealDash for days at a time, but sometimes I am just too busy to pop by. Luckily for me I can still get my DealDash bidding in without having to spend too much time sitting at my computer just watching and waiting. Here are my top tips for bidding when life is busy.

Schedule Your Bids With BidBuddy

BidBuddy is the ultimate busy person’s friend. If you haven’t acquainted yourself with the BidBuddy yet, it’s time you were introduced. Using the BidBuddy is really simple. First, just input the number of bids that you would like your BidBuddy to place for you. Next, hit the “Book a BidBuddy” button. That’s it! There is no step three.

After you have booked the bids, your BidBuddy will automatically place your bids before the bid clock counts down to 0. They are usually placed around the 2-3 second mark on the countdown timer. The BidBuddy will automatically start bidding for you, you don’t even have to have your computer on.

This is perfect for the busy person because after you have booked your BidBuddy you can even turn off your computer. You don’t need to sit there staring at the screen waiting for the auction to begin or drag on for hours. The BidBuddy will automatically start bidding for you, and will take turn bidding with the other BidBuddies until only one is left, and they are the winner of the auction.

Alert Me

The “Alert Me” function is also very handy for busy people. When you have some spare time, go through the auctions and mark all of the ones that you are interested in with the “Alert Me” button. This button is on every product that DealDash has in its catalog, and you can set as many alerts as you would like, there is no limit. Whenever you search for a product on DealDash and discover that there isn’t currently an auction planned for it, be sure to hit the Alert Me button, and you will get an email when the product is scheduled to be up for bid. It’s a great way to never miss an auction that’s important to you.

Once you receive the email from DealDash saying that the product you were interested in is available, just hop right onto DealDash and book a BidBuddy. The Alert Me button and the BidBuddy make a winning combination for the busy person.

DealDash Tips for Senior Gifts

We’ve already discussed giving gifts to teens, now let’s talk about gifts for senior citizens. Not unlike teenagers, senior citizens can be a little tricky to buy gifts for. Let DalDash Tips help.

Do you need to find a gift for your parent, aunt, uncle, elderly neighbor, or even a grandparent? Senior citizens can be difficult to find gifts for because they tend to not to ask for anything. You will be able to find a gift for them that they really enjoy on DealDash. DealDash has many things that are not only perfect for seniors, but they will love as well! Read on for some super tips for finding gifts for seniors.

Younger or Older Senior?

Just like there is a big difference between a 13-year-old and a 19-year-old, there is a big difference between a 65-year-old and an 85-year-old. Most 65-year-old seniors are freshly retired and still very active and vibrant. Younger seniors might enjoy gifts that require a lot of movement such as exercise equipment. However, older seniors might not enjoy something so strenuous and enjoy less athletic activities such as a gift card to the movie theater.

Money Woes

If the senior that you are thinking of winning a gift for is financially prepared for retirement then they might enjoy an art or sculpture piece to decorate their home. Unfortunately, many seniors are under (or unprepared) prepared financially for retirement. These seniors would probably prefer something less decorative and more practical such as tools or kitchen equipment. Both categories of seniors, however, would probably appreciate a DealDash restaurant gift card to treat themselves out to a nice dinner.

Gift Cards for Everyone

Sometimes you just have no idea what to get for someone, even though you’re a close friend or family member. This problem is easily solved with a gift card, though. If you know that the senior that you want to give a gift to is an outdoorsy-type, then a Cabela’s gift card would be perfect for them, or perhaps even an AutoZone gift card would be good as well. Maybe the senior you know is a fan of travel – well, an American Airlines gift card would do the trick! A gift card to a big box store such as Target, Wal*Mart, or even K-Mart would be a great gift for anyone.

I hope that you found this new DealDash article on gifts for senior citizens helpful. Reading the DealDash Tips blog and our sister blog DealDash Reviewed every day is the best way to stay on top of DealDash happenings and events.

DealDash Tips for Winning Gifts for Teens

Finding a gift for a teen that they would like can be tricky. Here are some tips from DealDash for gifting to teens.

Maybe the occasion is Valentine’s Day, a birthday, a graduation gift, or something else – teens are difficult to find gifts for. At least gifts that they really enjoy! The good news is that DealDash has many things that are not only perfect for teens, but they will love as well! Read on for some tips for finding gifts for teens.

Boys, Girls, Unisex?

DealDash has some things that are great for guys or girls, and some that would be a great gift for either. The first thing that you’re going to need to determine is if you want to get something that is more gender-specific such as perfume or hair products, tools or cologne, or something like a gift card that’s great for anyone. DealDash has all of these items and more available for bid every day, 24/7.

Age Range

There is a big difference between a child that has just turned 13 and an almost adult who is 19 – yet they are both teens. You’ll want to take into account the age and maturity of the teen that you are trying to find a gift for. For example, I know many 13, 14, and 15-year-olds who still love playing with Legos (and honestly some adults!) but most of the 16-19 crowd is more interested in computer items, TVs, and other electronics. Luckily, DealDash has both Legos and everything that you need in terms of electronics.

Outdoorsy? Couch Potato?

It would be a bad idea to give a tent or other camping equipment to a teen who thinks “roughing it” includes staying at a hotel that doesn’t include a breakfast buffet. On the flip-side, there are many teens who love sports, the camping, and generally living an outdoor lifestyle.

Just because someone is young doesn’t mean that they don’t know what they enjoy. Look at some of their favorite activities now, and try to find something that complements their tastes. Don’t try to change their interests – it won’t work! Never fear, DealDash has something that both couch potatoes and the outdoorsy folk will enjoy.

I hope that you found this new DealDash article on ideas for teen gifts helpful. Reading the DealDash Tips and our sister blog DealDash Reviewed daily is one way to stay “in the loop” when it comes to DealDash events and secrets.

If you are shopping for a gift for a teen, mom, dad, or grandparent check DealDash first. DealDash has it all! Visit DealDash now. DealDash wants to make your family happy. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

DealDash Tips to Win Bigger Auctions

Everyone wants to be a big winner, but are you winning big auctions? High-value auctions are harder to win. Here are some tips from DealDash.

High -value items are very difficult to win because there is so much competition for the big and expensive items. However, if you read this blog you will learn some ways to be more likely to win these big ticket items. Here is the article that you need to be paying attention to and taking notes if you want to win big on DealDash.

Identify Power Bidders

If you ever want to have any hope of winning any of the bigger ticket and more popular items you’re going to have to know who the Power Bidders are and try to avoid them. In previous DealDash Tips articles I have suggested taking notes and taking down the names of bidders who just won’t quit. Well, if you have been paying attention and following my suggestions, now your persistence will pay off.

If you see a larger auction with a higher-value item that you would like to enter then you should throw in a few bids and wait. Once the auction has reached the $5 “No Jumper” limit, then you will be able to see the name of all of the people who are allowed to bid in that particular auction. Look at the names of all of the bidders and try to match them up with your list of people who just won’t quit. If you don’t see anyone on your list that is allowed to bid in this auction, then I would feel comfortable trying to win. However, if you see not only one, but even two, three, or four “known” Power Bidders, then I would suggest that you sit this one out and try another time.

Is This the Best Time to Bid?

If you’re interested in winning a big auction for an item such as a TV, PS4, XBox One, drone, or large piece of furniture or exercise equipment then you should really pay attention to timing. If DealDash is currently running one of their awesome FREE or half-priced promotions it’s a great time to win smaller items. However, it might not be the best time to try and bid on a very expensive and coveted item. Why? Because when DealDash runs these great promotions then it gets extremely busy on DealDash. Which is a lot of fun for bidding on things like gift cards, kid’s items, and jewelry, but if you’re looking for your “big score,” then bidding when DealDash traffic is at it’s peak might not be the best plan.

I hope that you found this new DealDash article on big wins helpful. Reading the DealDash Tips Blog and our sister blog DealDash Reviews daily is one way to stay “in the loop” when it comes to DealDash news and events.
