Good Days, Bad Days on DealDash

By Barbara

Everyone has good days and bad days. That’s just part of life.  It is no different when shopping on DealDash.com. Some days I win every auction I bid in, while other days I do not win a single one.  Did this ever happen to you?

Some possible reasons this happens are:

  • Some days the auctions have more bidders than they have other days. The middle of the week might be slow days. Weekends, while most people are off work, might tend to be more competitive.
  • Perhaps what’s happening in the world might make a difference. For example, if shoppers are busy watching the Super Bowl, there might not be as many people shopping online.
  • Some DealDash features, such as the “Free to the Winner” specials, might be more popular than others. Therefore, the competition levels might go up or down depending on the feature.

Whatever the reason for good days and bad days at the auctions, do not get discouraged.

Good Days at the Auctions

When you are having a good day shopping on DealDash, I suggest you continue to shop ‘til you drop. Take advantage of your good karma days and enjoy the items you win.

Bad Days at the Auctions

When you are having a bad day shopping on DealDash, I suggest you either change your strategy or quit, save your bids and come back another day. Sometimes making a few minor changes can make a difference. To get ideas on what you might do differently, it might be a great time to go to the “Tips and Strategies” page and read more “how to” blogs, like this one.

Whatever the case, always remember DealDash support staff members are always there to help any way they can, and there are several ways you can contact them. Just click on the big yellow button at the bottom of the home page that says “Contact Support” or you can go to:  https://www.dealdash.com/support  or send an email to “[email protected].

Tips to Protect Your DealDash Bids

DealDash

As a DealDash bidder, it’s your job to protect your bids. Here are some tips from DealDash to help.

How do you go about protecting your bids? Simple! Try to save and conserve your bids at all costs. And how are you supposed to conserve and save your bids? There are many ways that you can go about doing this. Some are easy, some are less so, but all of them are able to be done by all bidders new and seasoned. Read on for more information, from DealDash.

Get Free Bids!

One of the best ways to conserve your bids is to get free bids to add to your bid collection. When you add free bids to your bid bank you can save your own bids that you paid your hard-earned money for and use free ones instead! If you’re not familiar with the ways that you can get free bids, read on…

  • Promo code 2017: FREEBIDSIf you haven’t yet purchased your first bid pack you can take advantage of this promotional code and get 100 free bids from DealDash. Simply put the code FREEBIDS in when you make your first bid pack purchase.

    This code can be used only once per customer and only once per household.

  • TATHB – Time As The Highest Bidder                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                      As you’re bidding on DealDash your bid meter will start to fill up when you are the highest bidder in an auction. Once your bidding meter has been filled just click the button that is next to your bid meter. After that, your account will be credited with free bids right away.

Plan Out Your Purchases

Another way to protect your bids is to plot and plan out all of your DealDash purchases, whether they are won or BINned. BIN of course, means Buy It Now. Buying It Now means that if you don’t win an auction you purchase the auction for regular price and DealDash will give you back your bids. What better way is there to protect your bids than to get them back after you have spent them?

If you have planned out your purchase, you will have taken into account how many bids that you’ve spent, how much time you have gained on your bid meter, and how much you will need to spend to do a BIN on the auction that you’re in. This is why planning your purchases out is so important, it’s a way for you to know exactly how many bids that you have to spend and how many you will get back when you do a Buy It Now on DealDash.

DealDash Tips: What Beginners Should Know

By Barbara

To get off to a positive shopping experience on DealDash.com I put together a list of the most important things all beginners should know:

  • Do not cast single bids from the home page and do not try to beat the clock. Beating the clock will not help you win on DealDash. That’s not how this shopping site works.
  • Learn how to use the automated bidder, BidBuddy. If you double click on the auction you want to win, a new window will open up and that’s where you will see BidBuddy. Most experienced shoppers use BidBuddy because it saves bids and money. When you place your bids into BidBuddy, you bids will not be used until they are needed.
  • It is important to watch and learn tips on how other shoppers bid. I have a list of power bidders that I avoid competing with in auctions. If I see certain screen names show up in an auction, I will cancel my bids and wait for the next auction.
  • Place at least one bid before an auction reaches $5.00 or you will be locked out of bidding in that auction. Sometimes DealDash has special features when you might have to place your first bid before the auction reaches $3.00 or you will be locked out. It might be a good idea to place more than one bid in the beginning of each auction just in case it closes early, but you will save bids by waiting until the auction gets down to the last two or three bidders before you place the bulk of your bids into BidBuddy. By doing that, you will be less likely to run out of bids when they are most needed to win the auction.
  • It is usually best to focus on one auction at a time. Then, if you do not win, you will only have to do a “Buy-It-Now” on just one item to get all your bids back for free.
  • If you have questions, contact customer service. They are always happy to help answer any questions a customer might have.
  • Do not worry about shipping. All of your orders come with a tracking number and everything is always well packed and arrives in excellent condition.

New Series – DealDash’s Top Tip Roundup

DealDash

Welcome to DealDash Tips Blog. Today we are going to round up some of the top tips for you from last week. Read on for more information.

Welcome to the new DealDash series – Top Tip Round Up. We here at DealDash Tips Blog love to share all of our tips with you. Some of the tips are quick, simple, and self-explanatory, and others are more intricate and difficult. However, we love to try to share our knowledge with all of the new DealDash bidders out there. Here is a round up of our top tips from last week. Read on and hopefully learn something new.

Skip the In-Season Stuff from October 2nd’s Blog

Maybe you missed October 2nd’s blog, and the top tip from that blog is that if it’s winter, bidding on in-season things such as snow shovels, snow blowers, or other cold-weather items is not the best plan. This is because seasonal items are in top demand, and it will be quite a battle to end up winning. It makes a lot more sense to bid on out of season items because there is less competition. If you think ahead to the next season, then you will be able to get much better deals. If you would like to read the entire article from October 2nd, just click on this link here.

Get to Know Your Dashboard from October 3rd’s Blog

If you missed the Tips blog on October 3rd, it was all about getting to know your DealDash dashboard. There was a lot of interesting information on that article, especially this section about your account details.

 Keep, maintain and update the credit cards you use for DealDash purchases here. You can also switch to the old DealDash page design here if you are more comfortable with that layout. You can also update/change your password through this section as well as view your username, the date you signed up, the number of bids you currently have on your account and, best of all, the total number of auctions you have won on DealDash! – Theresa B.

This article is full of information that you should be familiar with, so if you didn’t get a chance to read it you should make the time. It’s located at this link right here.

Take the Tutorial from October 4th’s Blog

October 4th’s blog suggested that you take the DealDash tutorial. If you haven’t taken it yet, the tutorial is sort of like a game that teaches you how to participate in a DealDash auction. When you take the tutorial it explains what to do, and also shows you what the other (pretend) bidders are doing. You will also receive 10 free bids for participating. If that’s not a great reason to take the tutorial I don’t know what is! Maybe you’d like to read more about the tutorial before you begin. Check out the article from October 4th located at this link here.
