Stress Free Shopping

With so many people stuck at home under quarantine because of the awful COVID-19 virus, it is especially important at this time to find various things we can do to release stress.

One of the best ways we can do that is by shopping on DealDash.com. Here are some reasons why:

  • It’s a really fun way to shop
  • It keeps us busy and helps us pass time
  • It challenges our minds by developing some winning strategies and
  • It gives us the opportunity to win some great bargains

Since I started shopping on DealDash, many things have changed, such as the various products that are now up for auction. However, there are also many things that have remained the same, such as:

  • Superb customer service
  • Excellent automated bidder, BidBuddy, that places our bids for us, which allows us to make dinner or watch TV while shopping at the same time
  • Shipping and handling are always free
  • Reasonable win limits that allows all shoppers a better opportunity to win auctions
  • Easy and fast way to purchase bid packs
  • An opportunity to BIN (Buy It Now) and get all of our bids back if we do not win
  • Money back guarantee that all orders will arrive in excellent condition.

No wonder, this has become a favorite shopping site for so many loyal customers. I feel so grateful that during this COVID-19 lockdown, we can still enjoy shopping on DealDash.com.

I wish to thank the entire DealDash team for providing a stress-free, fun and entertaining shopping site. I am sure it helps many customers cope a little better while under our “stay-at-home” mandate during this world-wide pandemic.

Testing, Testing

Sometimes coming up with a winning plan has a lot to do with testing, knowing what kind of tests to run and when.  That’s how we find out what works and what does not work.

This can also apply when shopping on DealDash.com.

Example

Let’s say you are bidding in an auction, the bidding gets down to the last two or three people and you are one of them. The bids you have invested are getting low and you are faced with a decision: should you add more bids or stop bidding. How about running a test?

To run a test, you will need to have at least two more active bidders. What you might want to know is whether or not any other bidder is just waiting in the background to jump back into the auction as soon as the bidding gets down to the last two bidders. If that’s the case, you can quickly find out. If another bidder is just waiting to jump in, you will usually find out within two or three turns of dropping out.  If no third player starts playing again, you might want to jump back in and stay in the auction by adding more bids. If another player does jump back in, however, you might have just saved yourself some otherwise wasted bids.

You may also want to check when the other serious players placed their first bid. Have they been bidding since the beginning of the auction? If the other one or two players have been bidding since the beginning of the auction, but you joined the auction much later, it could mean one of two things: 1) The other players are really committed to winning this auction or 2) The other players might run out of bids long before you do.

Another question you might want to ask yourself is: when did the other players join DealDash? If a player just recently started shopping on DealDash, they might not have as many “free bids” as someone who has been shopping on DealDash for several years.

We never know how many bids other shoppers have to play with, but by doing some testing, we will be able to make a better decision if we should add more bids or delete bids and save them for another time.

Assessing Your Competition

To bid or not to bid–That is the question we must all answer whenever we shop on DealDash.com.

If you are a brand new shopper on DealDash.com you might not yet be familiar with the screen names of the most powerful bidders you might want to avoid.

No worries. There are still many things we can quickly check to accurately assess the competition.

Repeat Bidders

Go to the DealDash home page and just watch the various screen names popping up. Look for the same screen name in more than one auction. Chances are that if any shoppers are placing more than one bid in several auctions, they might be a power bidder or happen to have a huge supply of bids. Write repeat bidder screen names down and try to avoid getting into the same auctions.

Repeat Winners

Write down the screen names of the most serious competitors who placed more than one bid. Then go to the “Winners’ List” to see if those same screen names already won several other auctions that day. If you see the same screen name won more than one auction that day, chances are they are fairly competitive.

Shopping Experience

Whenever shoppers place a bid on DealDash, we will see their screen name come up, along with the date of when they first joined the shopping site. For example, I’ve been a member ever since Feb. 8, 2012. That means I’ve been shopping on DealDash for eight years. That’s a long time, so I’ve had a lot of shopping experience.  If the bidding gets down to only three shoppers, however, and you see that both of them joined only one or two months ago, they might not yet have much shopping experience. Shoppers who lack experience are usually the easiest ones to beat.
