A few things you should know about DealDash.
1. They’ve been one of the longest running, if not the longest running penny auction sites.
2. Founded in Finland.  Based in the US with offices in Minneapolis & Finland.
3. Items are all shipped free of charge and are brand new with applicable manufacturer’s warranties.
4. DealDash is not like a traditional auction. It’s a new form of shopping that launched with Swoopo ( now gone, but it dates back to pre-2008). DealDash offers items in fast-paced auctions, in order to be eligible to win users must register then purchase a bid package of bids to win. Each bid costs $0.60 initially, but you can buy a bid pack when DealDash offers sales, like right now all bids are $0.15 each. Once you see an auction you like you can start bidding when you want to. Each time you place a bid the auction countdown clock increases/resets and counts down. You will win if no one else bids against you. If someone bids against you the clock is reset again and they could win if no one bids against them. That’s basically how it works… Once the timer goes from 1-0 with no bids placed the last to bid is the winner.
5. No Jumper auctions – all auctions on DealDash are “jumper proof” meaning no new bidders can enter to bid after the price hits $5- so only if you place a bid before $5 are you eligible to bid.
6. Buy it now is a must! Buy an item with buy it now if you don’t win and get your bids back into your account!
7. DealDash is open to US residents 18 of years and older, be sure to read all of the terms & conditions prior to buying bids and bidding.
8. You can’t win as many items as you want, DealDash has win limits set.
All bidders can win 6 products worth $200 or less per week. Bidders may also only win 3 products worth more than $200 each week. All win limits will be reset on Saturday at 00:01 am. 
 
Do you bid on DealDash?

These DealDash bidding tips will help you out if you’re not sure about a few key features on DealDash!
Are you new to DealDash? Did you just blow through your first bid pack and have nothing to show for it? Maybe you’ve bid on auctions a bit already but still can’t seem to win much and keep wondering how others are able to win to their heart’s content and max out their weekly win limits, right? Want to be like them? Do what they do! Take note!
If you’re a newbie, first of all, be sure you bid on the beginner auctions that you will find once logged in. Beginner auctions are just for bidders who haven’t won anything yet and are really a great way to get familiar with the bidding and shipping process.
Let the Bid Buddy be your best friend! Ok, figuratively (not literally 😉 – at least I really hope not! Sometimes bidding on auctions can be more fun than hanging out with friends though! What’s Bid Buddy?  Bid buddy is this automated bidding program that’s in each auction on DealDash – programmed right in to allow you to input the number of bids you want to spend and from what increments in the auction process: $1.00-$4.00, $0.01-0.50, and so forth!
Bid on different items. Bid on items that you wouldn’t otherwise bid on. Don’t always go for the laptops or smartphones, bid on games and items that may have less competition just to get used to bidding and start winning!
Bid at different times. 
Bid on DealDash at different hours of the day. Try bidding in the middle of the night, early morning, or just around 11 pm. Do you see a difference in competition when you bid at one time over another?
What are some of your bidding questions? Ask away and we’ll answer them next time!
