How You Can Tell If Someone is At Their Win Limit on DealDash

Are you wondering how to see when someone is at their win limit on DealDash.com?
To make sure that a handful of bidders don’t dominate the auctions on DealDash and win everything (though it’s not always easy to do this some do try to on some sites) DealDash has a win limit system instituted.
Win Limits 
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. 
win slotswin limits 2
 
It’s really easy to see how many wins a bidder has left. All you have to do is look at the auction page where they are bidding and it will show the winning limit status below the highest bidder’s username. For example, see jamworthy on this iMac computer auction? It shows winning limit status to be 1/3. So they’ve won 1 item over $200 already this week and can win one more.
Item Limits:
Some items, usually ones that are higher valued like this Apple 21.5 inch desktop iMac valued at $1,200 – only one can be one per user. 

win limits 3
 
As you can see, on the items valued at over $200 it shows the win limits each bidder is at for that tier of items.
On the other hand, an item like this Neu Home 4-tier storage shelf valued at under $200; with a buy it now price of $59, all users that bid on it will have their win limits in the >$200 shown. So bidder 2plus2 that is currently the highest bidder on this item has so far won 3 items this week (starting today) within their 6 items under $200 wins.

After you win all 9 of your items each week you are out and cannot win any other items until the following Saturday at 12:01 am.
You can also see the win limits of all winners in the won auctions page:

Happy First Day of Summer: Get Out in Nature!

SAMSUNG CSCIt’s the first day of summer and summer doesn’t last long, so don’t let it pass you by! Stuck at home due to rain and can’t enjoy these first summer days? Take advantage of this time to bid on DealDash on items that will help you enjoy the summer when the sun comes out and the rain subsides.
One of my favorite things to do in the summer is hike!
Hiking Necessities:
Depending on where you are, you may want to bring bug spray to keep the pesky mosquitoes at bay.
Sunglasses.
Water bottle. Like this Contigo 24-Oz. AUTOSEAL Addison Water Bottle that just sold for $1.19 at DealDash. See more at: https://www.dealdash.com/battle.php?auction_id=2340992#sthash.ZcasOkWJ.dpuf
Good hiking shoes. I just love anything made by Solomon. Comfortable clothing: Nike DriFit is great! All of these items can be won on DealDash or purchased at Amazon.com with an Amazon gift card that you can win on DealDash!
A digital camera to take beautiful pictures like these waterfall & river pictures I took today with my Samsung NX30 Smart Camera.
DealDash offers penny auctions for this little camera that Samsung made to take on bulky dSLRs – find out when it’s available for auction at DealDash. What I love about it is the seamless ability to share photos over WiFi to Facebook and other social networks. Plus the photos are vivid and crisp and allows you to shoot high definition videos. The Samsung Nx30’s Retail value is $999 – get it cheaper by winning an auction. Another great camera for summer fun is the GoPro Hero 3 HD Video Camera.

The last auction for this kayak sold for just $0.32! That’s 32 cents – 32 bids by all bidders at say an average bid price of $0.17 a bid? Whoa do you know how cheap that is? This Kayak is originally $364. See – DealDash is the perfect place to score deals on tools for summer fun!

DealDash Wins & Exchanges

DealDash bidder Sabrina wrote us with this very good question regarding exchanging wins.
She asked,
“I’m not sure if you will read this but if you do I hope you can answer me a question. I did recently win an Item and as far as I know the only one actually selling it is Walmart so i believe that is where I will be getting it from. It is valued at 180 dollars, however i do not need the Item at all. I noticed you exchanged the Items for a similar Item but do you think I would be able to exchange it for a completely different Item?”
Good question Sabrina. Can you exchange an item that you win on DealDash that was fulfilled by Walmart? Well, first of all if the item you received was shipped by Walmart, many items on DealDash are due to DealDash’s partnership with Walmart, but not all items are. When your item arrives check to see if it has a receipt/packing slip from Walmart, if so – and unopened, you can bring the item back to Walmart and return it according to their return & exchange policy promise:

“WE PROMISE
to be your trusted partner for technology by delivering the advice, service and convenience you deserve – all at competitive prices. If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, let us help you with a replacement, return or repair.

You can return or exchange almost everything within 15 days for a full refund. Simply bring your item(s) to us with all contents and packaging, proof of purchase and ID, and we will process your return or exchange.

DealDash’s return policy: “What is your return policy?
Please contact our support team within seven days after you’ve received your item for instructions on how to return your item. We’ll give you the money back you used to buy the item. Any bids spent bidding will not be returned.”

Like Diane shared in her post about the seamless item exchanges between DealDash & Walmart, all you have to do is pay the difference of the item or you will receive a store credit if the new item is less than the exchange:

“Recently, I won a Samsung over the range microwave oven. It was black and I needed stainless steel to match the other appliances in my kitchen. I took it to Walmart, which is where it came from, and exchanged it for stainless steel. I did the same with a Lorex Security System that I recently won. It was a wired system and I needed a wireless system.  You will pay the item difference or you will get a store credit if the new item is less than the exchange. The DealDash exchange was smooth and simple.”
Have you won an item on DealDash that you would like to return? Hope this post helps you out!

Would You Switch to Amazon's New Fire Phone?

fire phone amazonAmazon just announced their first cellphone product: The Amazon Fire Phone today. Its scheduled released date is July 25th, 2014 but it can be pre-ordered now. The e-commerce giant’s smartphone ranges in price from $199 with an AT&T contract to $649 if you purchase it unlocked- without a plan.
The Amazon Fire Phone is a 32GB smartphone and the only smartphone with what Amazon terms dynamic perspective, Firefly technology and Mayday. Dynamic perspective offers a new way to navigate with tilt, auto-scroll, swivel and peek to navigate menus and access shortcuts with just one hand. Dynamic perspective means when you turn the phone, the phone environment changes and when you’re reading you can move the phone and the page will scroll down.  The maps app lets you move the phone and look around a city.
Plus, it offers an Amazon shipping App where you can see detailed views of clothing, shoes and more on Amazon.com. Firefly technology is the ability to quickly identify printed web contact info such as email addresses and phone numbers, QR codes, bar codes and over 100 million items by pressing a button. So you can take a picture of a book and Amazon will find it for you online. Mayday is free, live, on-device video chat support with an Amazon support expert 24/7, 365. Wow!
Free Amazon Prime Included – for a limited time.
If you aren’t yet familiar with Amazon’s Prime you should check it out. Prime lets you get free 2-day shipping or overnight shipping on Prime elligible items for just $3.99. Plus Prime gives you access to thousands of popular movies and TV episodes with Prime Instant Video, over one million songs and hundreds of playlists with the all-new Prime Music, over 500,000 books to borrow for free with the Kindle Owners’ Lending Library. Wow!? I have Prime and I didn’t even realize all of that entertainment was included. So go check it out!
The Camera Looks AMAZING
One reason I love the iPhone is for the pictures I’ve been able to take with it and I haven’t wanted to switch to any other phone, but now this may convince me to change…
The advanced camera system boasts an optical image stabilization system with 13MP, 1080p video and free unlimited photo storage in the cloud.
The Amazon Appstore gives you access to thousands of Android apps. Yes- the Amazon Fire Phone runs on Android.

Powered by Android – this Smartphone will have A 2.2 GHz quad-core Snapdragon 800 processor, combined with 2GB of RAM, enables faster app launch times, quicker website load times, and “smoother” multi-tasking.

Tired of your smartphone battery always dying?

Amazon boasts 285 hours of standby time, up to 22 hours of talk time, 65 hours of audio playback and up to 11 hours of video playback. Whoa. Combine that with a juice pack and you may be able to go a week without plugging in that phone.

Work life integrated:

Review docs, presentations, and stay connected to work from wherever you are. Fire OS features a robust Outlook e-mail experience with ActiveSync, calendar, and contacts support. Triage email, view appointments, and more directly from the home screen. Tilt to see meeting details in calendar, or tap to send a quick message to meeting recipients. Not bad!
