Celebrate DealDash's 5th Birthday With These 5 Bidding Tips!

Wow, DealDash is 5 years old already! In honor of DealDash’s 5th Birthday, bids are 5x cheaper at $0.18 each and here are 5 quick tips for winning more auctions on DealDash.

The best time to bid is when less people are bidding. This could very well be in the middle of the night into the early hours of the morning.

Keep your eye on the prize. Don’t lose focus or get distracted.

Don’t waste time or money bidding on items you don’t really want. Seek the items that you are deadset on winning and bid on those. Every time you throw away bids on an item you don’t really want or care to bid that much and go “all in” on you’re wasting money.

Bid wisely. Wait until the very last few seconds (3-1 seconds), but watch out – Your computer/Internet speed and the auction’s timer, due to Internet latency may not match up. Watch and try to figure out who might be on bid buddy. Do the other bidder’s have a pretty consistent bidding pattern? If it looks like others are on bid buddy wait until they may back out.
Bid on bid packs. Collect bids by bidding on bid packs, especially in the middle of the night when less users are vying for them. Stock up on bids and then once you’ve accumulated a lot of bids, pick that item you really really want and pull the trigger // figuratively speaking – conservatively place a set number of bids (say your stockpile of 500+) and then go for it!

Hope you win!

DealDash Product Review: The Ninja 1200 Blender & Green Smoothie Recipes!

Remember making that New Year’s Resolution to eat and live healthier in 2014? Perhaps like many people you’ve strayed off track, it’s time to change that and feel better about yourself for the decisions you’re about to make… The decision to win the new Ninja Blender from DealDash and resolve to start making “green smoothies.”
Tired of your blenders always breaking or ice cubes left uncrushed? The Ninja 1200 is equipped with 6 stacked precision razor-sharp blades and a 1200 watt motor.

The Ninja 1200 is high powered enough to virtually mash anything you put in it within seconds..

Ergonimically designed – with a smart lock-in suction to hold the blender and lid intact for a mess free blending experience.

My favorite reason for owning a high powered blender would have to be that it’s quick and easy to make not only protein shakes, soups, and salad dressings, but green smoothies! Green smoothies are an easy way to get more greens in your diet. Green smoothies can be a mix of greens and fruit, are super easy to make and can actually taste quite good!
