One Item Per User Auctions Limit Powerbidders!

Worried about spending money on bids to win a laptop or other more expensive item only to lose due to someone who has won maybe 10 of these same items? The competition to win the more popular electronics and household items on some penny auction sites can be fierce.
Scared of powerbidders? DealDash has leveled the playing field with their one-item-per user auctions. One-Per-User items are usually higher valued items valued at over $200 – such as dSLR cameras, laptop computers, Dale Tiffany lamps, iPads, Macbooks, tablets, higher value gift cards, smartphones, camera lenses, HDTVs and other items are limited to one win per user.

Not only do these one-per user items limit competition, they keep greedy bidders who have been found to constantly win the same high-dollar items on other penny auction sites from being able to dominate.
These one-per-user items can be found by the “1” indication to the top left of the item on the frontpage or on the top right of the item on the item’s bidding page highlighted in a yellow “One-Per-User” box.
Take a look:

While DealDash has thousands of bidders, it’s good to know that one person can’t dominate and win the same product over and over again.

What are Win Limits?
“Win Limits:
To ensure equal chances for everyone to win you can win up to 6 items valued less than $200, and 3 items valued more than $200 per week. You can follow the status of your wins by logging in and looking at the winning limit slots right next to the bid amount. The system will not allow you to bid after you have reached your limit. All remaining BidBuddies will be automatically cancelled. Please plan your bidding strategy with this in mind.”
What do you think of DealDash’s one-per-user auctions? Do you think it’s a good idea, or wish you could win more?
Bids on DealDash.com are currently $0.17 a piece with a 50% discount on final end prices this week.

The Nespresso Citiz Espresso Machine and Milk Frother – makes perfectly frothed or steamed milk every time.
Personal note: This Nespresso is by far my favorite way to make handcrafted espresso drinks, and at a fraction of a cost of a coffee shop latte! Plus, Nespresso sells “pods” of espresso in a variety of flavors and roasts. Perfect for at home or in the office. The milk frother is amazing, and the espresso comes out fresh and hot! Bid on a variety of Nespresso machines on DealDash
The KitchenAid Blender, Food Processor or Bella Food Steamer is perfect if you mom loves to make smoothies, chop up veggies (or just about anything) and steaming food turns out, is really good for you.
“How can you lower cholesterol, lose weight, and get vitamins from a lamp chop? By cooking with steam. Steaming renders the fat from meat, leaving it in the water to be discarded. The conventional cooking methods broiling, baking and frying cook the fat back into the meat. Because steaming gets rid of fat, the meat is lower in calories and cholesterol. And you can steam any kind of meat steak, pork, chicken, or lamb.”-http://www.thirdage.com/healthy-recipes/health-benefits-to-steaming-food.
Check out our favorite green smoothie recipes too, throw that in with the blender gift!

3 Hot New Tech Items That DealDash Should Offer!

DealDash has tons of great items, but is there anything else that you would like to see on the penny auction site?
Here are our 3 of our favorite new electronics & gadgets for 2014 that we’d love to see on DealDash:

The PowerAll PBJS12000R Rosso is not only a portable power bank with USB outlets to charge all of your gear on the go, it’s also a car battery jump starter and for just $99 it leaves us wondering just how legit it is. Well, judging by the reviews people do seem to like it. 4.5 star rating with 80 reviews on Amazon.com, it works as a 12,000 mAh battery charger for a phone or tablet, LED flash light, strobe light and SOS signal that lasts 120 hours, and then the jump starter for you car. Build in protection features – over feature protection, short circuit protection, overload protection. It looks super compact and lightweight too. According to the product details, you can use it to jump start you car up to 20x if fully charged! Wow! Plus it comes with jumper cables. Not bad for $99.90.

2. The Micro is a $200-300 3D printer that will soon be accessible to consumers and is now raising money on Kickstarter to make the most affordable 3D printer yet.
“The dream here is definitely that you take something and install it as fast as the fastest plug-and-play device that you’ve ever seen and you’re focused on the end result,” Michael Armani, M3D’s CEO tells us. “You take the design, put it in the printer, it prints as quickly as possible. The focus here isn’t on the 3D printing process … [it’s] on ‘yeah, I want to make a mold for chocolates.’ It went to the fun part so you can enjoy it as much as possible.”
The early-adopter, funding specials include the 3D printer for as little as $199 have already sold out, but you can now get the printer for just $299 via Kickstarter https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/m3d/the-micro-the-first-truly-consumer-3d-printer. Hopefully their dream will become a reality and this will be a widely accessible 3D printer and also offered on DealDash in the near future! Perhaps DealDash will offer this when it’s ready for market and you will win and soon be able to make your own chocolate molds, teacups or whatever your imagination holds.
3. The one-wheel self balancing electric skateboard
Segway meets skateboard. This intuitive electric skateboard will let you feel like you are surfer or snowboarding when you’re on the road.
“Most people can learn to ride Onewheel in a couple minutes even if they’re not used to boardsports. That’s because controlling a Onewheel is so intuitive. Powerful sensors and sophisticated algorithms are constantly helping you balance and control your ride with just the forward or backward lean of your body. People with experience with other boardsports are often ready to ride aggressively within their first few minutes on Onewheel.”
Not just a skateboard, the creators of Onewheel made it to be a viable option for commuters (if you live close to you workplace.)

The Onewheel can be pre-ordered via the Kickstarter page for $1,299.

DealDash has tons of fun and new innovative items already, but what more would you like to be able to bid on? Let us know here in the comments section!
