DealDash Tips

When you think of shopping at DealDash, you may think about small appliances, toys and kitchen items, but did you know you can fill you home with furniture from DealDash?  Every day at DealDash 100’s of new items come on the market for auction.  Everyone has their favorite category and mine is the new variety of furniture that you can find.

I recently won a sturdy well made stool for $1.20 and about 50 bids.  This was a $970 handmade stool which is now proudly displayed in my husbands art studio.  There is a great variety of artsy furniture on the market all day and night at DealDash.  When I win an item as special as this for my home, I often try to win another one for other people in my life.  It is remarkable how shopping at DealDash can help you make a choice for a gift.  You are involved in two auctions for a gift for that special someone, when suddenly you win one and now you know exactly what to give them. And now you are sure you know someone else who would love it too, and before you know it, you have two of them and you’re shopping is done.

It’s a great time to cash in on big ticket items right now at Deal Dash through the 15th of November you can earn 3 times the free bids by placing bids!  For every bid you place you earn credit towards free bids three times faster!  With the higher the retail price the longer you are going to be bidding, therefore more free bids! I love the sales at Deal Dash, but the “three times faster free bids” is huge!
When bidding on furniture, keep in mind that they are popular items and require patience and bids.  You can buy a bunch of bids to get started and then parlay that into a bid pack or two, keep it small though the higher bid packs have many people trying to win bids with a few bids.  Remember your goal is to win a bed frame or a night stand, so in my opinion, go lightly on the bid packs.

You’ll want to stay focused on that special piece.  I will also offer this tip; ‘ve noticed that auctions for new and never seen before items tend to go for less bids than items everyone have been pining over for weeks so shop often and shop early to be the one to get the new prize!
So go grab 3X bids now through Sunday Nov.15 and use those free bids to get great deals at DealDash everyday!
GOOD LUCK  &  HAPPY BIDDING!!

There is a very useful tool on the DealDash site called “Who’s On Their Limit”. It’s a behind the scene look at what DealDashers (players) are out of the playing field because they reached their limit. On your DealDash Dashboard on the left side of the page is a row of options and the one right above your profile is “Who’s On Their Limit?” Click on this tab and pay one bid for the privilege, and the secret is yours!
So let’s say you are going after a high traffic item, you always seem to do battle with “soAndso” and you’ve made a decision to win this item without them.  Check the limit tab, see if he’s out, if they are, be sure to get your bid in before $5.00. Alternately, he may be near his limit so why not get involved and see if they reach limit.  Some people just don’t do the math, but if you only have one item left to win, don’t get in two auctions because you other item will fall off once you reach your limit.  It would ultimately be like double bidding, or over bidding.
I can not stress enough how important it is to know the other bidders.  When you are a newbie at DealDash it is very tempting to just jump in and start bidding frantically, after all you are going to win, and that’s a blast!  But, the most beneficial thing you can do is spend some time, and I mean quite a bit of time, getting to know the tendencies of other winners.
Also, watch the winners list, this is a sure way to see who is winning.  You can often see a pattern in the names.  A lot of people bid every day, and they win a lot.  They are the ones to watch. They will be on the limit list in no time and your field is clear.   Yet there will always be a soAndso to get to know, just keep watching.
The best way to see who is who in an auction is to watch it.  For example, choose an item you wish to win.  Keep in mind the higher the value, the more players there will be.  Watch this item through a few auctions.  Yes, it means being patient, it will take days, but you want to win.  The best thing about bidding is winning, so take the time to think like a true winner.
The next most valuable advice I can offer is to find an item you want to win, if the price gets near retail,  watch it.  This will allow you to see who is possibly overbidding, who is likely to always overbid, stay away from them in the end.  For example, let’s say the average selling price is $200, now this auction is at $250, most likely, the people left in that auction are constant over bidders, some people just do it.  It’s not a good strategy, but some bidders don’t care.
At the end of the day you want to use the tools that DealDash has available, it will help you be a better more efficient winner to know who’s at their limit.
Good Luck & Happy Bidding!!
