DealDash Tips: Common Mistakes Newbies Make

When you first start playing on DealDash, it is easy to get caught up in the excitement of the competition and the chance to win great bargains. The last thing you might do is to stop, watch, read and learn how to play smart. Only the players who do just that, however, are most likely the ones who win the most auctions, using the least amount of bids and spending the least amount of money.

Some of the most common mistakes newbies make are:

Buying bids at full price instead of waiting for them to go on sale
Bidding from the home page and not allowing the automated bidder, BidBuddy, to place your bids for you.
Bidding in too many auctions at the same time
Bidding when you are too tired or too busy doing other things
Bidding with experienced power bidders that you have slim to no chance to beat
Bidding on items you don’t really need
Not knowing when to stop and over-spending your budget
Not knowing how to use the BIN (Buy-It-Now) option

Plenty of information is available for new players to learn how to avoid making such common mistakes. If you do not understand something, all you have to do is read the “how to” articles and blogs listed on the bottom of the DealDash home page or go to the official DealDash web site. You can also contact Customer Service and they will gladly answer your questions.

Tips for Beginners on DealDash

We were all DealDash beginners once. Here are some tips to get the ultimate beginner started.

How long have you been bidding on DealDash? If it’s a couple of months or less, then you’re still a beginner! If you’re having a little bit of trouble winning auctions, no problem. You probably just haven’t realized all of the tips and tricks that you need to pay attention to that will give you success on DealDash. Everyone was new once, even the Power Bidders that you see winning thousands of dollars in merchandise. Here are some tips to get you started.

Don’t Overpay for Bids

When you first started, your original bid pack included bids that were .60 a piece. Now that you have already purchased your first bid pack, wait for a sale to replenish your bids. Unless it’s a major DealDash emergency, I never buy bids if they are over .14. This means that I have to plan ahead and be sure that I am buying the biggest bid pack that fits into my budget when I see bids for .13 or .14 per bid. If you have been overpaying for bids, be sure that stops today.

When You Don’t WIN, then BIN

Sometimes even the best of us lose! It makes sense to bid on things that you would buy at the store anyway such as a kitchen or everyday household item you can BIN (Buy It Now) them for retail value when you lose. You will also get free shipping on these items, and you will not be losing any money. Think of the BIN as your safety net for DealDash – You can never lose if you plan on BINning the item anyway.

Here’s Why DealDash is the Best Bidding Site Around

DealDash’s Tips for an Awesome Backyard

Summer is (almost) officially here, and it’s time that we spent more time outdoors in the backyard. Here are some tips from DealDash to win auctions and make your yard amazing.

Backyard (and front yard) items are fun and also practical items to win on DealDash. They can be something fun like a pool to something less exciting like a shovel, rake, or another unfun item. However, my idea of fun and your idea of fun might be different, so judgment here, folks! DealDash has a wide array of backyard items, here are the tips to win them.

Decide What You Want to Win

The first step in becoming the next big winner of a backyard item is to figure out exactly what it is that you want to win. Trust me, if you just start bidding all over the place, a bid, bid here and a bid, bid there, you’re not going to be as successful as if you picked an item, did the research, and planned out your bidding strategy.

Read the Reviews

You might have noticed the product reviews on DealDash. These reviews are made by other bidders just like you. Sometimes there are multiple different items that are similar that you need to decide between before you start bidding. Some examples of this are grills, outdoor toys, and gardening supplies. DealDash has a wide and varied product selection, so it makes sense that you would want to read the reviews before deciding on bidding on a particular outdoor item.

Bid it Up to BIN

After you have decided exactly what you want to bid on, and the particular brand and color – then it’s time to fill up your BidBuddy to the BIN (Buy It Now) price. This is why you should do your research and figure out exactly what you want to bid on – because the smartest and best way to win is to bid up to the BIN price. You wouldn’t want to spend tons of bids to get to the BIN price if it was an item that you were merely “meh” about.

Set Alerts

The easiest way to win mowers, power washers, garden lights, benches, and more on DealDash is to do your research first. Figure out exactly what garden item you would like to win, and then set alerts on DealDash. This way you will know when the backyard items are coming up for auction.

Tips to Understand DealDash Lingo

DealDash has its own lingo that can be a little confusing when you first start out. Let DealDash translate for you.

“What is DealDash, and how does it work?” are among the most common questions that we hear around the DealDash Tips blog. Well, they are easy to answer, and DealDash Tips blog is always willing to help and explain things to newbie DealDashers. DealDash is a fun internet auction site where bidders purchase bids and use them on auctions to win items. If the person doesn’t win the item then they can buy it at the retail price that’s listed on the auction’s page and receive all of their bids back.

DealDash also has its own little lingo that you’ll need to take a quick lesson on before you get started. Don’t worry, there’s nothing too confusing, and you can always come back here to the blog to get clarification by submitting a comment down at the bottom asking for help. Now, on to your lingo lesson.

Winner’s List

The Winner’s List is a very important tab located at the top of your auction home screen. The reason that the Winner’s List is important is by looking at it, you can see if people are getting great deals at that particular moment or not. There are certain days and times where it seems like there are very few awesome deals to be had. Then, there are other days and times where it seems that DealDash is just giving everything away. Do yourself a favor and check out the Winner’s Tab before you start bidding at any given time.

BIN/Buy It Now

As I mentioned above, DealDash offers a “Buy It Now” or “BIN” option on every single auction. BIN means that you have placed bids in a DealDash auction and didn’t win, but you may purchase the item for retail value and receive all of your bids back. BIN is a very common DealDash word, and you will hear and see it around the site very frequently. DealDash is the only pay-to-bid sites that offer a BIN guarantee. The BIN guarantee is an awesome gift from DealDash. In fact, DealDash was actually started by a person who played on one of those “other” auction sites and lost his money with nothing to show for it.

BidBuddy

The BidBuddy is your friend that you will get to know very well as a DealDash bidder. The BidBuddy is DealDash’s automated bidding tool. The BidBuddy is something that you will (or should!) use every time that you bid.The BidBuddy is available on every auction, to every bidder. You can use the BidBuddy for free and book as many BidBuddies as you would like.

The BidBuddy is the way to win auctions on DealDash. The BidBuddy will place bids for you in the last 2-3 seconds of an auction. All active BidBuddies in an auction will alternate bidding until there is only one player left in the auction. You can place any amount of bids in your BidBuddy and adjust the number or cancel it whenever you like. Almost all auctions are won with the BidBuddy.
