The “Eight Win Advantage” at DealDash

Players’ Limits are in place for all fairness. Each player may win up to nine prizes each 7 day period. If you sign up for DealDash on a Monday, Monday is always your “refresh” day.

There is a meter on the top of your DealDash Homepage in the upper right hand corner. There you will see how many prizes you have available. Each time you win an item one of the slots in the meter become unavailable…until your refresh day when all the slots are “relit”.

One strategy for winning (usually a high ticket item) you can watch the other players and see how many wins they have. If they have eight wins and they are in 4 auctions, they will lose three of them by default if they win one. For that reason, I never bid on more items than I have open slots, so this never happens to me.

Here is what happens. A player uses slots by winning auctions, they still have bids and are permitted in any auction available to them. For example, once you use up 8 slots in your weeks limit, you only have one available. Many players will now bid in multiple auctions, if they win one the other three are cancelled. So all the bids they used at DealDash are gone and they didn’t win…..

Ahhh, this is where it is a great position for you! If you see someone has 8 wins and are in 2 or more auctions it makes any more than one win vulnerable to loss. But this is a good thing for us “the other guy”.

Keep an eye on player’s limit numbers, once a player reaches 8 wins look for them in other auctions. If you see they are in more than one and you know they are frequent winners, you can essentially win one of the other prizes they lose when they win their last one! It’s awesome.

If took me some time to figure this one out, so you’re welcome. haha but really, if you are a better player, I win more. The more player’s know, the more we all win. Really!! Keep in mind that you can only play in an auction which you have placed a bid in before $5, so if there is an auction you may want to enter later, make sure you get that one bid in before then.

How do you know if the other player has 8 wins? Well the beauty of this plan is that DealDash gives us this information with every auction….every single auction tells you a lot of useful information, but today I am only talking about the wins of another player.

All you need to do is go into an auction, in there you will find a group of players who are bidding in an auction seen by their Avatar. Watch the players who are bidding in the auction you want to win…..AND in auctions you don’t care to win. If there are players with “8’s” you know this is someone to follow. All you have to do to do this is bounce around, see who is in what auction. Remember to place a bid before $5.

These are a few of my favorite secrets and I’ve shared them with you. I hope this helps you have an edge in auctions. I don’t consider myself a “power bidder” but I do win a lot of auctions. currently I am well over 550 wins, this makes me a good player. A “Power Bidder” by my definition is someone who spends too much on bidding. I try to keep in real.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Parlay Free Bids at DealDash

If you are bidding on a budget (and who isn’t) then you have most likely found yourself looking for free bids to play at DealDash. Well, there are some tricks to help you achieve that goal and get yourself a bunch of free bids.

This is what I call the Parlay For Free. Once you’ve won something at DealDash you are eligible to submit a photo to the community at DealDash and they will reward you with 350 free bids. You can find the complete details here.

Once you get your bids I want you to hold onto them until there is a huge bid multiplier sale. Then it’s time to bid. The Bid Multiplier ifs offered quite often and it’s a great opportunity to parlay your free photo bids into more free bids. What the Bid Multiplier does is keep track of your time as high bidder and rewards you with free bids for that time. Once you reach the next “level” you will see the meter gauge light up and you click it to get the bids deposited into your account.

Now play the front end of an auction, the first 50 cents or so. If you don’t win back out, you’ve only used 10 bids and can still win a $150 prize with just a few bids, that is key. This requires patience. You are waiting for new auctions to come on the market. Every new item that is under $200. continue to bid the front end of an auction. You will see many players do this, they are bidding on a budget too.

Because this is a popular bidding style, you will get to know the players in that field and how many bids they are willing to place. Put yourself at the tail end of those bidders while still maintaining you 10-15 bid limit. Often at this point you will be one of two bidders, stay in to win!

This type of bidding isn’t for you if you are in a hurry or if you’re going after bigger ticket items, you can certainly do it with bigger ticket items, but plan on being in longer and using more bids.

So you have your free photo bids, you’re bidding during a high bid multiplier for more free bids and you just won two $150 items, now exchange those prizes for bids. You could have essentially doubled or tripled your free bids into an amount of bids to go for the big prize! Now, if you’re really patient you can save those bids for a Free Wins event and pay only one penny for any win thereby reducing the cost of playing exponentially!

DealDash gives us so much opportunity and I have won some great prizes by using this method. I hope it brings you some insight, now all you need it luck!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding

How Many Bids Does it Take at DealDash?

Deal Dash has a wide variety of everyday items and in a full range of values from $10 to $14,000 and every price in between. So how many bids does it take to win these variable valued items?

That is the secret of the auction, there is no way of knowing when an auction will end. Eventually you will get a sense it is winding down, but again, nothing is etched in stone. BUT, there are some general values that require less bids, and others that require more. Here is a sample of items you can win with these amount of bids and I took the numbers directly from my own wins over time. (using the “Bidding History” tab)

What you can win with 200 bids is gift cards, toys, small appliances (like a can opener or a toaster), jewelry, watches video games, lamps, linens, throw pillows, clocks, yard items and small bid packs (100, 200, 400, 500). So for about $28.00 worth of bids you could walk away with any of these prizes. These lower value prizes are perfect for the beginner. The Buy It Now value is low and what that means is if you don’t win you can purchase the item for retail and DealDash will refund all the bids you used, so you have the item and your bids back. But really, many items like this can be won with just a few bids, so when you win one with ten bids you keep going and winning!

Once you get some experience it’s time to move onto what you can win with 400 bids and that is everything above plus medium appliances (like a juicer, microwave or an ice cream maker), canvas bags, pocket books, art, home decor. I’ve won a couple of bikes in this range. While you are bidding, keep in mind not to overbid. There is no reason for it and it’s a waste of bids. My best advice is to move on if you don’t win within a predetermined amount of bids. You can win some mid range bid packs with 400 bids, for example 1000.

These are examples of prizes I’ve won with a pre determined number of bids. If you decide to purchase a larger bid pack, like the 1000 pack, you can win the high end mountain and road bikes offered at DealDash. There are some great grills, yard decor, fire pits, swimming pool, hot tub, furniture, home decor, hover-board, large bid packs (like 3000-5000). This range is very competitive, there are a lot more players. Often people will overbid in these categories because they are winning other items and exchanging for bids. If you do win a high value item to exchange for bids you can certainly parlay your exchange into the auction of an item you’ve been trying to win for hours or days, it’s your game, play it the way you like. Yes, it’s true the auctions in this range last for hours and some times days. Be patient, have your bids and know it won’t be won for 25 bids. If it does, and that happens all the time, great! But don’t count on that.

Items that generally require over 1000 bids are, a massage chair, some of the high end bikes, high-value art, a drone, gaming computers, high end cameras.

I love one of the commercials for DealDash, you may have seen it on TV. The guy wins an iPad for “you don’t want to know” which means really low. I’ve seen iPads for for $8, but that is not typical. I’ve even see the $14,000 massage chair go for less than a dollar, but only once. My point here is, you can win with a few bids, but the number of bids to win is usually gets higher with the value of the item increasing.

So, the level of bids you need to win varies from item to item, but anything can be won with a few bids. Easy Peasy! Start out slow, work your way up. Learn the players and their habits, then go for that big prize! You earned your stripes!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
