Keep an eye on the other guy and then some. It is so easy to watch the auctions and know that a certain player won’t bid more than 200 bids, then suddenly, he’s up around 500, that’s one the most unpredictable issues about DealDashing…human nature! Once you follow a few auctions, you will find that the same people consistently over bid or win at all costs. This win should not be at your expense, so if you have been in an auction and you see that “bidhappy” is in there, wait until they leave and then come back, they always leave, often come back, occasionally forget to come back and just give up…just like you. If you leave, you may lose to him, but the good news is he has one less win in his 9 win limit this week. Once that player has hit the limit, they are done for the week. I will sometimes let a player win if they are near their limit just to get rid of them!
There are many reasons to follow the competition’s habits. One thing you will discover about bullies is there are many, many “bullies” that bow out very early in an auction. You can count on that often, you just need to learn who they are. You do that by watching auctions and spending time bidding. The good news; there is always time to learn. No matter how long you have been playing, you will learn the competition, and we are always there because we love DealDash so much!
If you are like me you don’t go shopping at the mall, I just don’t care to shop that way. Everything I ever need I find at DealDash, in fact, I often find things I didn’t even know I wanted, and best of all it’s a fabulous way to find the perfect gift for anyone, choose a recipient and play for an item, they will love the one you win! Everyone I gift is sitting on the edge of their seat because they know they aren’t getting a cheap little trinket from me, it is bound to be of high value and awesome! I have become the best gift giver in the family!
It doesn’t matter if you are a newbie or a seasoned player, you need to know your competition. It’s the best way to predict if you could win or simply should give up. Don’t be afraid to say…”I’m done, go ahead player X, have it.” If you do you will feel relieved when you’ve realized some other player over bid, 5 players went with them and you went on to win 2 other prizes in different auctions! Win, Win!
A sure thing about the competition, they are always there! It’s why DealDash is so fun and exciting! We’re all here for the same reason, to find a great bargain, a good and interesting item and have a blast doing it.
Happy Bidding!!
