Do you find yourself fuming with anger and frustration when you bid on penny auctions and lose?
Here are a few ways to keep your cool….
1. You’ve been bidding for a few minutes and it’s all good you keep saying I’m going to win, I’m going to win!! It will be any second now… until… the clock ticks on and a few seconds goes to a few minutes and a few minutes becomes a few hours. You are tired and frustrated. You thought you would win, but you still find yourself bidding. You’re upset and worried that the auction will never end. What should you do?
Well! The good news is you have two options. 1: keep bidding. 2: just stop, buy it now and get your bids back. Seriously! You can easily get ALL of your bids back when you just use the auction’s BUY IT NOW. Seriously why wouldn’t you try bidding on DealDash to win anything from a gift card to a lawn mower to a snow cone maker, swimming pool or popcorn maker? Buy it now on this penny auction site is a GREAT way to stop your frustration. So keep your cool and buy it now.
2. Set a time and bid limit for yourself. Say you are only going to spend so many bids, say 200…. and then drop out. Stick to your limit. Stick to your time limit too if you have other things you have to do.
3. Keep it light. Take bidding as if it were a game for fun. Have fun even if you don’t win and be ok with losing when you aren’t the winner. That way you will be a lot happier and you won’t get carried away.

The Best Deals On DealDash June 10th to 16th
What did you win on DealDash last week? If you are just getting started with penny auctions and haven’t won anything yet, it’s time you get started. If you are wondering what kind of deals DealDash offers bidders check out the Best Deals on DealDash for June 10th-16th.
June 10th: Do you know how rewarding and exciting photography can be? If you are a budding photography who recently bought or won a Nikon dSLR you may be jealous by this sweet deal on a 50mm prime lens – the Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Lens for Nikon DSLR cameras. A prime lens is the choice of many portrait photographers for the crisp clarity and shallow depth of field giving the background a soft glow. This is the same awesome lens that was won by DealDash bidder Bailey1040 on June 10th for just $0.30 – Seriously, 30 cents!?! for a $200 lens? Yup! Even if Bailey1040 were to be the only bidder placing say 30 bids at $0.15 a bid Bailey1040 would have only spent $4.80 total to win this and we know this winner spent way less in bids.

June 11th: Speaking of Nikon DSLR cameras. Take a look at this beast of a camera. The Nikon D5300 Digital SLR Camera with 18–140mm VR Lens, Black has a buy it now price of $1,050.. and from the description we will see that this camera combines dazzling image quality with all the modern techy bells and whistles.

June 12th: Danny916 will be cool this summer thanks in part to this great deal he got on this brand new AC unit – but it’s not so much the price interests me about this auction, take a look at Danny’s bidding status message:
“Deal dash is an amazing challenge, each bid takes thought, do it, don’t do it, oh h— just do it. DD is large in teaching patience, don’t have any left. Good luck to all of us.” This SPT 12000BTU Portable AC with Heater sells for a buy it now price of $496. Danny916 won it for just $28.33
June 13th: On June 13th we see another status message by bidder Tampobn who says before she bids “”Hope that everyone is having a great day…. Please let me time run down and please stop over bidding and stomping, Have my daughters wedding coming up. so looking for gifts for home and yard.” Intimidation? Possibly. She’s stating intent and telling others not to bid against her. Really not something I’d advise to do. She did however win the Nostalgia Retro Series 60-Can Party Cooler Fridge for $18.01:
June 14th: Forful will most likely be baking up more than cookies this summer with her brand new KitchenAid Onyx mixer won for just $13.70 in collective bids and a final, waived end price. Not too shabby considering the KitchenAid has a $450 value!
June 15th: Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 10.1-inch with 64GB Memory, Black Buy it Now price: $700 sold for only $54.01, plus the winner, desdecker didn’t have to pay anything for the end price because DealDas

Back to intimidating statuses on bidder’s bios: ”
“I check and see how many bids a person has put in. After I look it up . I play fair and nice and back out . Why cant others be as kind??”
Well, the name of the game is DealDash – you won’t always be able to score a deal if you are always looking for a deal. But this brings us back to our bid on bid packs and stock up point. This $200 bid bid pack was sold for $0.73 on Amazon.
Did you win this past week? If so let us know what you won and what you will do with it!

How to Be A Better DealDash Bidder Right Now
Do you get frustrated when you spend money on bids on DealDash, or any penny auction site, and you run out or bids, or the auction ends before you can place a bid? Want to get the great prices that other bidders are, but not sure how? Scared to lose your money?
Bidding on DealDash can be both enjoyable and rewarding, but you have to take into account a few factors to succeed and help you be a better bidder.
If you want to win more auctions you need to keep the following tips in mind:
1. Start out by bidding on just bid pack auctions. If you go for just bid pack auctions you can build a sizable bidding account. This will help you out immensely later on when you want to bid on higher dollar items. Find out how to win and get more free bids!
2. Bid only on the items that you want to use buy it now on. DealDash’s auctions are all 100% buy it now, so this means if you do not win something with the bids you have spent you can just buy the item and get your bids back. This saves you money and allows you to bid again and try to win more items for less than the retail price.
3. Observe the auctions before you start bidding. When you are new you must spend time watching items and not just bidding. Make sure you keep tabs on bidders and watch how many bids they spend to win, where they are at on their monthly win limit limit and what they bid on and win. A bidder’s win limit status is shown right next to a bidder’s profile avatar when they bid.
Start by placing just one bid on an auction and then watch and see how many other bidders are going to place a bid too. Wait until it shows “no new bidders” then you will know how many others might still be in the auction bidding, because after $3.00 no new users can come in and start bidding.
4. Spend wisely and budget your bids. Make sure you keep track of how much money you are spending when you are bidding on penny auctions. You can easily get carried away and spend too much money on bids and not win anything. Again, use buy it now!
5. Read reviews and tips by other DealDash bidders. These can be found on the DealDash Facebook page, this blog and DealDashReviewed.com
