Category: Strategies and Tips

I have been shopping on DealDash.com since Feb. 8, 2012, and over the years, I’ve learned several valuable shopping lessons. 

Perhaps the most important lesson I learned is that if I do not shop on DealDash on a regular basis, I might have to relearn some of the lessons I had already previously learned.

I’m sure you might have heard people say, “Practice makes perfect.” I never believed that. Instead, I correct that quote to say, “The right kind of practice makes perfect.”

After being away from shopping on DealDash for a while, I went back on the site today to once again do some serious shopping. In the process of doing that, I was quickly reminded of some of the lessons I had learned before that I failed to pay attention to and needed to relearn again.

If Not Winning One Auction, Find Another

It has been my experience that certain auctions tend to sell extra low or extra high. Let me give you an example. The 1X and 2X auctions usually sell extra low or extra high. Why is that?

When we first start bidding in an auction, we may only intend to invest a limited number of bids. But what happens if we see the auction is down to only one other bidder when it’s time for us to stop and go find another auction? We will be tempted to place more bids when it looks like we could win any minute. Once we start adding more and more bids in an auction, we often end up getting overly committed and all the more determined to win it. That happened to me today.

Some of the best lessons I’ve learned on how to successfully shop and win more bargains on DealDash.com came from watching other shoppers.

The first two questions you might have are: First, How do I know which shoppers I should watch? Second, what should I watch for?

Who to watch

Winners watch winners. Therefore, one of the best ways to figure out what shoppers to watch is by finding out who wins the most auctions.

By watching other successful players to see what they do and how they do it, we can often soon identify some good shopping strategies that might also work for us.

The best place to find out what screen names win the most auctions, all we have to do is go to the “Winners” list and look for screen names of shoppers who win two or more auctions in a day. Make a list by writing down those screen names.

DealDash.com often offers special features that make shopping on this site all the more exciting.  What’s even better is when DealDash offers more than one special feature at the same time, like they are doing at the time of this writing.

Besides offering winners to get 50 percent off from the sale price of the auction, all shoppers also receive 2X time on the clock for each and every bid placed and the first runner-up will be offered a discount on various auctions if he or she takes advantage of doing a BIN (Buy-It-Now). 

With all of these multiple specials happening at the same time during the holiday season, this is one of the best times all year to shop.

Time on the Clock

Whenever DealDash features 2X on the clock, they often follow it up with 3X or even 4X on the clock. If our green line (located at the bottom right of our screen) is getting close to moving all the way to the end at the far right, now is the time to make our green line move even faster so we can collect the bundle of free bids that much sooner.
