DealDash Tips: Pros & Cons of BidBuddy

By Barbara

Most customers who shop on DealDash.com soon figure out how to find and use BidBuddy – the automated bidder.

In fact, experienced bidders always use BidBuddy for some very good reason. They are:

Pros

Last I knew, at least 99 percent of the winners use BidBuddy.
If you are busy making dinner, washing clothes or working on your car, no problem. BidBuddy does all the bidding for you, so you don’t have to be glued to your computer.
When you use BidBuddy, you can see the screen names of your competition, so you know just how serious your competition might be.

However, there could be some cons to using BidBuddy, too. They are:

Cons

When we place our bids in BidBuddy and get busy doing other things, we risk forgetting all about it and might not check back often enough to add more bids if needed.
When we allow BidBuddy to do all the work for us, we might get lazy and fail to develop better bidding skills.
When BidBuddy places our bids for us we are not as actively engaged in the bidding process as we would be if we placed single bids. Therefore, we are more likely to risk falling asleep at our computer.

As you can see, there are both good and bad reasons why some shoppers might not always use BidBuddy. Regardless how we choose to place our bids in BidBuddy or not, the most important thing to remember when shopping on DealDash is to stay alert and pay attention.

DealDash Tips: Wonder Why They Do That?

Image result for why do that?

Sometimes people do some strange things on DealDash. Have you ever wondered why they do that?

Bidding on DealDash is a fun and unique experience. One of the great things about DealDash is that there are very few rules, and you can bid pretty much however you want. Want to just bid a single bid on every item? Go ahead! Want to bid once a month but bid until you win, even if it’s double the amount of the price in bids? Sure, you can do that too. Everyone’s DealDash experience is different, and since there are so many different people using DealDash at one time you’re bound to come across some people that you have no idea why they would do certain things. Here are a few examples, from DealDash.

Why Would Someone Bid So Many Times?

One of the most common questions I get asked is “Why do people overbid?” and there are a couple of different answers that make sense. One is that they are overbidding in in hopes that they don’t win, they are just bidding to get extra clock time and plan on doing a BIN (Buy It Now).

This is an especially common thing to happen when DealDash is doing one of their 2x or 3x multipliers and you are getting double or even triple the clock time while you are bidding. People who have bid up to the BIN price will often still stay in the auction if there are more than 3 or 4 people still participating. This way they can earn extra clock time and probably won’t win. However, anything is possible on DealDash, and it’s not completely unheard of for an auction with 5 people to end suddenly. So if you like to do this, beware, because you might actually win the item and end up overpaying due to the number of bids that you spent.

Another reason why you might see someone bidding way too many times on an item is that they have a lot of free bids saved up that they want to use. DealDash offers many ways to get free bids, both by bidding and by sending in pictures. Some people look at these free bids as “expendable”, and will overbid to get something that they are interested in.

Why Doesn’t Everyone Use Their BidBuddy?

Personally, I use my BidBuddy every time. However, there are some people who prefer to do single-click bids instead of using the BidBuddy. A reason that they might do this is that they want to appear mysterious or surprising to the other bidders. If you are watching an auction with 5 different BidBuddies battling it out, there is no surprise. They will take turns bidding until there is only 1 left, and they are the winner. Watching an auction that has people who are placing single-click bids are definitely more exciting!

A DealDash Per Day – Tips!

Visiting DealDash often is a great way to keep up on what’s new and interesting. Visit DealDash every day and have more fun!

If you love fun and shopping, then the DealDash website is perfect for your lifestyle. There are so many auctions going on at the same time on DealDash, it’s hard to pick just one! Luckily, you don’t have to pick just one. If there are lots of items you like, though, it would be a smart idea to just bid on a couple at a time. You can always come back again, day after day, and become a “DealDash Regular”. Read on for more information.

How Many Items Should I Bid On?

As I mentioned, though, you probably don’t want to bid on too many items at once. If you bid on more than a few items at once it can be a little difficult to keep track of too many auctions at once. This is why I personally only bid on one or two items at a time. If you do prefer to bid on many items at a time, though, there is a solution. There is always the BidBuddy to keep you company on your bidding journey.

Don’t Bid Without Your Buddy

As I said, if you’re the kind of person who likes to keep busy and bid on multiple items at once then you need to use the BidBuddy. The BidBuddy is an invaluable tool that DealDash gives free to use to all bidders. You can put in as few as one bid, and as many bids as you have in your bid bank. You can cancel it or add more bids at any time. Your BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner.

If you’re wondering how the BidBuddy works, the BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner.

So if you’re sure that you want to bid on many items at once, then BidBuddy is the way to go! However, there’s also nothing wrong with pacing yourself and just bidding on one item at a time, either. You can always come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after! DealDash will always be there for you to use, 24/7, even on holidays.
