DealDash Tips

DealDash Tips: When you see an auction that you like and it comes time to try and win it, you must remember to stay patience bid with resolve. Resolve means determination to keep going, to see a goal through to the end, to win without losing tons of money in bids.You have to be patient and you must set goals and limits for yourself so as not to lose money set a limit. If you find yourself often bidding too often, too soon, then you really need to set up a bid buddy for yourself that way you wont just bid hastily whenever you want to bid, but the computer will bid for you!
Know your Competition: Resolve also means determination. Be determined to win by preparing yourself . Learn about your competition with clues they give you and patterns of bidding. Watch bidders and see if you recognize their names. Do they bid a lot or a little? Are they almost at their win limits? Take notes!
Conserve your bids! Bidding fast and often can make the auction price rise faster than it really would otherwise and you will soon be out of bids.
Book a Bid Buddy!
Use Bid Buddy, a lot of auction winners use bid buddy to have a competitive advantage. It’s easy to miss the bid button and it’s easy to get carried away. Just set it and almost – forget it! You put the amount of bids you want to use and it will bid for you. You can also cancel if you change your mind.
Plan a strategic bidding pattern. Do you bid every time at 3 seconds? Every time when someone bids against you? Set a pattern so other bidders see you and know you’re still there and you’re serious about winning. Just remember, if you don’t want to bid anymore just back out and use buy it now. You will get those bids back and the item (you just wont get a great deal on it).
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 times of the day. Too busy at 7 pm when a lot of people are done with work and dinner? Wake up early, try bidding as early as 5 am and see if you have better luck! Auctions on DealDash are just open to US bidders, so keep that in mind!

Not only can you make sparkling sodas, some SodaStream users and culinary experts are using the machine to make sparkling wine!

Gregory Brainin, director of culinary development for the Jean-Georges restaurant group, “infused white wine with basil and mint leaves, and then fizzed red wine with orange and pineapple, creating an instant sparkling sangria in which the fruit was still crunchy and bright.” Dave Arnold, formerly the director of culinary technology at the International Culinary Center, made a “fizzy rum punch without the rum” by fizzing together brown sugar, charred wood chips, passion fruit juice, pineapple juice, cherry juice and water. – Source Kitchn.com
 
SodaStream retails for about $69.99 right now on Amazon.com but you could get an even better deal if you bid and win it on a penny auction site like this deal that was had on DealDash. DealDash bidder jbuk1 recently won a SodaStream for just a few bids and a $1.34 end price! Wow!

What’s really awesome is that SodaStream has over 60-flavors that they say do not contain nasty ingredients like high fructose corn syrup or aspartame.

How it works:
“Tilt the carbonated water bottle to a 45-degree angle, and pour the sodamix down along the inside wall of the bottle. Use a pre-dosed sodamix portion pack or pour your preferred flavor amount from a full-sized bottle to customize your taste experience. (Yes! You can adjust the intensity and sweetness of our drink by varying the amount of sodamix you put into the bottle. You can use a cup as your measuring devise.)”

Are you searching near and far to find out what the secrets to bidding and winning on DealDash are? Look no further, you’ll find the answers here.
First, if you want to win you have to first bid!
To bid you need to understand how bidding works on a penny auction site.
Penny auctions are not like eBay – there are no individual sellers on a penny auction site. A penny auction site has auction items from just one company, or seller. In order to win you have to be the highest, unopposed bidder when the auction clock finally reaches zero. The auction will not end until there is one last bidder standing. So say you are bidding and bidding, then you are still the top bidding bidding, it’s 2 – then 1 then 0 and you won! Why? You won because no one else hit the bid button. So, what you hope for to win is that no one else places a bid after you did.
To even have a chance of winning you must have the bids in your account. Bids are not free but there are many ways you can get free or cheap bids on DealDash. 1.) Bid promotions for free bids, or 2.) Bid promotions for discounted bids. Watch for these! For more details on free bids read our guides.
Bids cost $0.60 per bid and are sold in bid packs, so be sure to watch out for bid sales you may be able to get bids for as low as $0.15 a bid when there are promotions!
Right now bids are $0.15!
Bidding secret: buy it now! If you now have bids and a knack for bidding you will probably have experienced auctions ending as soon as you missed the bid button. You spent bids and you really wanted that item. Did you know that you don’t have to just throw away those bids? Buy it now is a super popular feature on DealDash.com which allows you to use “buy it now” after you are done bidding, or want your bids back during the auction and the item. All you have to do is look at the price that is stated for the buy it now price and decide if you want to pay for it. Once you do you will get all of the bids back into your bidding account to use at a later time. Note: This is not a full bid refund, just a bid reversal, so the bids go back into your account and you get the item once you pay for it at the price stated. Plus shipping is totally free on all items at DealDash.
Miss the bid button and you were still willing to bid more – maybe even a lot more?  Well, this problem could be solved if you would just use the bid buddy software. The bid buddy on DealDash is a bidding system that will let you input the amount of bids you would like to spend from x-x, $0-5.00 and 100 bids, etc. and it will just bid for you. You won’t miss the bid button because the bidding system will bid for you when the timer counts down!
More bidding secrets can be found by reading the tips posted on this site. But here’s another one.
Bid between 0-$5.00 to get a jump start in bidding, then walk away and wait for while.. Watch the auction and see how far it progresses. With a $5 cut off time you could have better odds of winning after the auction hits $5 because only the bidders from the beginning of the auction can continue to bid!
