Ukuleles and Guitars at DealDash

DealDash has a really nice selection of Guitars for the beginner. If you want to learn the guitar or ukulele or you might know someone who does, you can win one at DealDash for just a few bids. I did and it was a great gift item. These are considered “special” items and are usually offered “occasionally”. If you see one posted for sale, be sure to Bookmark it so you don’t miss the auction.

The Kona Ukulele retails for $49 and is a fairly easy win at DealDash, I used less than 50 bids to win it and paid about $1. The other guitars they carry at DealDash are designed for beginners.

The Silvertone Essential Acoustic Guitar Pack retails for $100 and is a fairly easy win, what I’ve see is all the seasoned pros have won this item or bypassed it, so if you want one I would suggest you rack up the BIN amount of bids and go ahead and win it! If you want to figure out the cost of a BIN this guitar retails for $100 so you would divide the cost of the item by the price of bids and you are left with the number of bids to use for BIN. $100./.15=667 bids. That is the number of bids you would set into your Bid Buddy, the Bid Buddy will bid for you in your place, it ensures you don’t overbid.

The Silvertone SD3000 Acoustic Guitar Pack in Black is only $89, so the BIN bids would equal 89./.15=593. This is also a BIN item, you can easily win this, but if you don’t you can buy it after 593 bids, then DealDash will give you all your bids back you used in the auction.

The Acoustic for Dummies is also a choice for the real and true beginner. This guitar is only $114 and it comes with a book to explain all the ins and outs of beginning guitar.

The guitars listed here are easy to win, but you do have to watch the auction, if there are some known overbidders, keep an eye on them. Don’t get into a bidding war over a guitar, you can win this item with just a few bids, if there is someone who really wants it they may be willing to overbid, don’t let this happen to you. Just walk away, If your reach the BIN number of bid just buy it and get your bids back.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Be Kind at DealDash, it Helps You win!

Have you ever heard you get more bees with honey? Well, it’s true, kind people tend to get more from others because they are kind to them. Since we all love to play DealDash and we all love to win because it’s fun and exciting, why don’t we share the joy with our fellow Dasher. Yes, sometimes we wish our competitor would just go away, but if they all left, it would just be shopping. The battle is half the fun, and as you’ll see, it’s all the fun for some who don’t care if they get the prize, they just want to win.

So this is what I suggest, be kind to your fellow player. Don’t jump into an auction after someone has placed thousands of bids, it’s not nice. I like to play fair and if I see that kind of effort, I will back down. I most likely won’t be spending my life savings, as they are, so I’m good! There is an exception to that rule, if you have jumped me in the past you will be jumped by me. I keep a notebook and I hope you do too. It’s one thing to come in late, but to do it after someone has invested so much is just wrong. I know some don’t agree with me, and that’s ok, you play your way and I’ll play mine.

For the love of bidding use your Bid Buddy! The smartest thing you can do for your fellow Dasher is use your Bid Buddy. First, it’s the best way to conserve bids and stay in the game without making your competitors angry. You might think it’s okay to stomp every other bid, but it will just come back to haunt you. Some players will stomp right back and then there is a price raising frenzy in play, it’s just a sad waste of bids, and the greatest part is the guy who was using the Bid Buddy will win because he didn’t miss or skip a beat. I will actually leave an auction or not jump if I see someone who, for what ever reason, backed down from me at some point. There are some really mean (late, late jumpers) players out there who just don’t agree, I know. But you don’t win them all either and you spent way more.

Some items require a great amount of time and effort, it takes patience and thought. Why be that guy who bangs in a bid after every player? You are canceling yourself out and wasting your money and worst, you are not letting the fellow DealDasher get his free bids on the bid meter, it’s one thing to stomp but take the free bids too? That’s low down.

Overall, we should strive to be fair to our competitors, sure you want to win, but do you really need to beat them up? We’re all in this together!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Why Bid? Why DealDash?

If you are wondering why you might want to sign up for DealDash, stop wondering, bidding is so much fun and if you have shop for yourself or family and friends, you need DealDash. Why not have a lot of fun when you shop? There is no reason, and to top it off, you could walk away with your item for pennies or a few dollars.

This is Entertainment Shopping and DealDash is the best at it. I used to bounce around, but I’m exclusive to DealDash now because the other sites all have some kind of “catch” like the bids aren’t the same value if you win them, or they charge half cents for bids, for example 5.5 cents, what?!

DealDash wants you to win so much they actually give you so many opportunities to get free bids to add to your winning power. There is the Time As High Bidder, which you get for every second you are the highest bidder in an auction. The time tallies, and when you reach your next level, you get the free bids.

DealDash will also give you bids back if you don’t win. All you have to do to get a bid refund if buy the item you were bidding on. When you decided to buy it, they will refund the bids you used trying. Who does that? No one but DealDash!

DealDash has the amazing Bid Buddy an automatic bidding system exclusive to DealDash and it will bid in your place, the purpose of using the Bid Buddy is, mainly, to get your Time As High Bidder, but also, you won’t over bid that way.

There is a lot of reasons to bid at DealDash, they make it fun and fair, if you are wondering if Entertainment Shopping is for you, try it, if you don’t like it, DealDash will refund your entire first bid pack cost. No questions asked, just an email. They never want anyone to feel taken, they are very generous and kind.

You can try the other sites where bids are only one penny, but those auctions go on for weeks, your kids will graduate from college before you win it! DealDash is the most fun and best value.

You will win, and you will get great deals!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Play Fair, It Helps You Win at DealDash

There are plenty of bidding styles at DealDash, but the game players despise the most is when someone doesn’t play fair. It takes some time to get to know who does it, and new players join everyday, but you can figure out which players to simply stay away from. They win a lot, but they spend a lot too.

You don’t wan to get into a boxing match with someone, by that I mean a stomper festival. You stomp, the other guy stomps, and then you stomp again, he stomps again, and no one else is getting in any bids through Bid Buddy because of the stomper fest going on. You and that other guy suddenly have over 50 bids used, and every one who wasn’t stomping only has 5 used. It’s a waste of bids and just not fair. The biggest travesty with Stomping is you are losing the opportunity to earn free bids for your Time As High Bidder. Plus, you most likely won’t win, the player using the Bid Buddy will come out victorious. So, this one is simple, if you don’t stomp, the other players probably won’t either.

Your Time As High Bidder (TAHB) is a huge gift from DealDash and it basically rewards good behavior with free bids, for example, if you use the Bid Buddy, you bid when it’s your turn, and if everyone else does it too, everyone gets 10 seconds toward the next level. When you reach your next level you will receive the free bids, if you stomp, you don’t get the time and therefore, no free bids. You also stomp other peoples free bids and that really hurts other players. So, if you are known as a Stomper, you are winning less bids and losing more auctions, If you let everyone have their free bids, they might let you win this time.

I let people who play fair win all the time, you have to. It comes back to you. You have to get to know the players to know who might back down eventually. Then there is “backing down”, if you do this for players, they will do it for you. I’ve been able to win more auctions by letting others win. You can’t do this with all players, but there are a good number of givers.

Some of the best players are the Seasoned Pros, they have been playing a long time, they have accumulated hundreds of prizes and thousands of free bids, they’ve been around, and they come in two forms, one is a never give up, a start from the beginning strategy that uses a lot of bids. Others have the Jumper gene. The Jumper will come in very late and use few bids to try to win. This activity is not rewarded. If you are a jumper, it’s plain and simple you will be jumped, and that won’t help you win any auctions. If you don’t want to be jumped, don’t jump. That’s fair!

These are a few suggestions to help you win more auctions, good behavior at DealDash is often rewarded, if you play the game too hard, you may not win as many auctions. So, play fair, win more!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
