DealDash Tips to Stay Alert

As a DealDash bidder, I’m sure you know the feeling of losing an auction due to not being alert. Here are some tips to help.

I fondly look back on how uninformed I was when I first started bidding on DealDash. I was impulsive, quick to join in an auction, and I didn’t realize at first how long auctions can actually go on before there is a winner. I remember losing quite a few auctions in the early days because I just got too distracted or sleepy and stopped paying close enough attention to the auction, and someone else was the winner. I am here to give you some tips on how to keep focused and alert during the auction.

Before we get into how to stay alert, the first tip that I would like to share is that you should really do your research on how long auctions of this type normally go on – for example, an auction for a $20 Blu-Ray movie will be considerably shorter than an auction for a $1,000 TV. If you are short on time and it’s an item that you are willing to BIN (Buy It Now) then I would suggest that you just load up your BidBuddy with the appropriate number of bids, and come back later to see if you’ve won. If it’s a bigger ticket item I would suggest just tossing in a few bids and returning later to check on the auction, and get more serious about the auction after it’s been running for a while.

If you’re determined to stay and watch the auctions, you are going to need to stay alert so you don’t get distracted and lose the auction. A way that I have found very helpful in staying alert is to keep each auction page open in its own tab on my computer, and that way you can easily click back and forth between them.

Another suggestion would be not to bid on too many auctions at once. When your attention is divided among more than a couple of auctions it can be very difficult to pay attention to each of them. If you want to participate in more than 2 or 3 auctions at a time, I would definitely suggest making use of the BidBuddy. If you load up 20 or so bids at a time on each of the auctions that you are interested in, it gives you enough time to be able to pay attention to other auctions while ensuring that no one else scoops up the win from you.

5 Big Ticket Wins in One Week at DealDash

It sure is fun to have an auction site like DealDash where there is no limit on the number of items you can win, the only limit on wins is you can’t win the same item twice in one week, so if you won the iPad Pro already this week, you’ll have to wait until next week to win it again, but you can go for a different iPad, like the mini or a Pro with a different amount of RAM. You can also go on to win an Xbox One, KitchenAid Stand Mixer, a Ninja Coffee Maker and a dozen or more other prizes if you can, but don’t stop there, you can win as many items as you’d like all the time.

That’s why we don’t worry about winning limits at DealDash anymore, there was a great deal of strategy that surrounded the limits, if you’ve never known limits, you don’t know how lucky you are. So, what I do now is go for just about any item I think I have enough bids to win, if I don’t I don’t try to win something with nothing. That’s not to say that I can’t win with nothing, here are a list of items I won in one week, all big ticket items. I won a handful of smalls too, but this was the boon!

$329 Shoulder Massager, $1.33, 29 bids

$$2162 Original Oil Painting $3.16, 76 bids

$224 Tall Hand Glazed Vase $1.42, 16 bids

$1125 Original Oil Painting, $4.03, 16 bids

$$180 BBQ Grill, $3.95, 109 bids

This is $4020 worth of merchandise that I won for only $13.89 and $36 for bids. That’s a huge savings! I did win the smalls, and honestly, I lost quite a few too, keep in mind you can’t win them all, and I’ve been playing for over two years. It takes time to get this good, but you will while you are getting to know the site and the joy of winning. Read the blogs on the DealDash Social Media and learn a lot of secrets to help you win. I write the blogs so my fellow players play better, because if you play better, we all win more!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Six Wins, One Day, Under $1 at DealDash

It excites me to share these fantastic wins which I had in one day at DealDash. This was a great day of bidding for me, the timing was right, and I won a lot. The site was really crowded, but what I noticed was players getting involved in too many auctions at once, and losing as a result of it. So, for me, this was a boon.

You do need to pay close attention to the auction to win them under $1. It won’t work if you place 10 bids in every auction available at once. Spreading your game too thin rarely works, at least for me. Others my win this way, but they are burning up many bids to do it.

The way to get all these low bid wins is to watch the auction closely. Bid in one auction at a time. That is key to the success. You can’t simultaniously physically watch more than one auction at once. So, to your benefit, stay focused on one at a time.

Another key to winning with just a few bids is to only use a few bids. This helps you win for less. If you stay involved in an auction which will go high, you will use all your bids. So only use a set number of bids per item.

I usually set a number of bids for myself that I won’t exceed if I’m bidding, say 25 bids. If I don’t win by 25, I drop out, with the exception of being in a battle with only one other player. And even then, if I don’t win in another dozen or so bids, I will back out. Nothing bugs me more that using too many bids on an item I know others have won for pennies. If I’ve seen it go for .12 cents, I want it around .12 cents, so if I don’t win by .12 cents, I’m out… usually.

Tip: Don’t do that every time, if you do, others will know your game. You have to battle once in a while so others know you are serious about bidding. That being said, there are many players who play only the front end of an auction, and they win a lot. That’s also a indicator that winning prices are low at DealDash.

Let’s take a look at my great day: I won other items, but not under a dollar, and I used many more bids. These wins are the successful result of my strategy. Every win is shipped for free.

$445 Rustic Tri Pod Floor Lamp- 24 bids, $0.76 cents
$209 Handmade Storage Case- 24 bids, $0.67 cents
$165 Sterling Silver 18K Gold Plated Crystal Necklace- 19 bids, $0.52 cents
$329 14-pc. Amuse Bouche Serving Set-17 bids, $0.46 cents
$254 Crystal Sommelier Wine Glasses – 2 bids, $0.33 cents
$1642 Metal Art Wall Decor-16 bids, $0.85 cents

A wonderful group of prizes valued at $3044.00 and I paid only $15.30 for bids plus$3.89 for prizes. Each item will be shipped free. So, stay focused on one item, and don’t exceed a set number of bids.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

How Does DealDash Work?

Let’s start by saying that DealDash is the most fun you’ll ever have shopping. But, what kind of shopping is it? This is Entertainment Shopping. You pay to play and your may or may not win the prize you are going after. Many, many players win items for just pennies, dimes or a couple of dollars. There are items, like iPads, going to up to 90% off. You’ll need an account and a username, and you’re off to play!

The way it works is you buy a bid pack, bids are usually between .12 cents and .16 cents on sale everyday at DealDash. Your first bid pack is $36, but once you have an account, you will have access to the membership price of the day.

You get involved with an auction that you are interested in, by placing a bid, which is worth the .12 cents you paid for it, plus the price of the item goes up by one cent per bid. So you bid, it’s one cent, the next guy bids, it’s two cents, the next bid three cents, and so on until the last bid is placed. No one knows exactly when the auction will end, it depends on the number of players, and the tenacity of their game.

In the beginning at DealDash, while you’re trying to get used to the site, try to bid only on small items which are valued less than $200. One reason is the auction will end soon, there are usually only a hundred to 700 bids placed in total for an item. You won’t have to wait hours to win an auction, and you’ll be able to see how the auctions finish up. Once you’ve bid in several auctions, you will be more comfortable going for the other items, over $200. There you will potentially spend many more hours on an auction, especially if the item goes up to $150, that’s 15000 pennies! You will have to be one of many players to fulfill that closing price.

If you don’t win the item at DealDash, but you used a bunch of bids trying, you can purchase the item and DealDash will refund you the number of bids you used. So, you do end up with you item, and now you have the bids to go on to win another item.

When you win an item, DealDash will ship it to you for free. If you purchase an item, shipping is free then as well.

As you can see it’s easy-peasy to get started playing and shopping at the greatest Entertainment Shopping site.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
