It’s Party Time at DealDash!

It’s so much fun to bid at DealDash, so why not get some chores done while you are bidding. This time of year we Americans do a lot of celebrating and you could find some wonderful deals on the things you need to pull off the best holiday party going!

DealDash has a nice selection of Pots, Pans and Bakeware. These are items that come up for auction occasionally, so you have to do your shopping and planning to get involved with the auction. First search what you are looking for and then use the convenient “Alert Me” tab to have DealDash alert you when the auction is scheduled. I find, if I can find an item in a search bar, it isn’t long before it does come on the market. These everyday items are perfect for Binning. That is the Buy It Now (BIN) promise from DealDash, if you try to win an item, and you don’t win it, you can BIN it and get the bids you used trying. This way you do end up with your item, plus you get the bids back to try to win another item.

DealDash has fair retail prices comparable to the big box stores, and they ship every item for free whether you win it or BIN it…free shipping every time. They also rotate the stock, what you may see today won’t necessarily be available next week. Items can “run a course” and not return. Meaning, if they carry the pictured set of pots and pans this month, it may be a different manufacturer next month.

They have a few items that are really popular and they always have them, like the coveted stand mixer in every color under the rainbow. Not only are they wonderful to have, they make a fantastic gift. I try to win one for all the nieces when they marry. Needless to say, I’m a pretty popular Auntie. The stand mixer is a tough win, you can win it for less than $10, I see it all the time, but more likely, you will close above $100, that’s 10,000 bids between you and a dozen or so players, so be prepared!

I have experience winning the bakeware too, they can go for few bids, I love to get involved and if I don’t win an item under $150 with a couple dozen bids, I back out and opt to either BIN or forfeit the bids. It’s ok, there is always the next one.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Ways to Get Free Bids at DealDash

Even though it’s fun to bid and shop at DealDash regardless of the free bids, it’s still great to be appreciated by them and rewarded for loyalty. DealDash is the most generous penny auction site ever! With just a little “leg work” you will be able to enhance your bidding experience with some free bids from DealDash.

The easiest way to get bids, is my all time favorite, just bid. For every second you are the highest bidder in any auction, you are earning free bids for your time, this is called Time As High Bidder (TAHB). When the Bid Buddy places a bid, there is about 10 seconds before Bid Buddy places the next players bid, this is your time which accumulates until you reach the next level. When you reach the next level, your Bid Meter will light up and when you click it, the bids are deposited right into your account. Often, DealDash will have specials where they multiply the free bids by 2, 3, 4 or even 5 times the free bids! Each level you achieve rewards you with an increasing number of bids, the longer you bid, the more you get.

You can get free bids from DealDash for posting a photo of a win to the community at [email protected]. Take a nice “bust” shot of you with your win, send it with a comment about your savings and experience to the community at DealDash and they will post it to their social media page. DealDash uses Facebook to share photos, thoughts of the day and reviews from other players. Depending on the value of the item, you are awarded 50 to 350 free bids for your photo and comment. Then each photo submitted where the prize is over $99 will be entered in a weekly Photo of the Week, where the winner is awarded 1000 bids.

You can get free bid by winning too, each win (except bid packs) comes with a bid exchange. Let’s say you win an item and you don’t really need it. DealDash will let you exchange the item for an amount of bids equal to about one bid per .50 cents to a dollar for the value of the item, for example, if you win a $100 item, you can exchange it for approximately, 50 bids to 100 bids. Likewise if the item is valued at $1500, you may get up to 1500 bids for that exchange. There is a group of players who do this all the time, they bid, win and exchange. I try to only use this feature if I need bids for another items which I want. If you exchange a win, you don’t get the item, so if you do this all the time, you won’t have anything show for it. So, use it sparingly.

DealDash has a new review feature, and every time you receive an item in the mail, you are give an opportunity to review the product and the service that came with it. For every item you review DealDash will give you 10 bids. Often, I will have 10 or more reviews to leave, they add up quick because you do win a lot at DealDash.

There is a new feature, this is a reward for each consecutive day you bid, so if you bid on Monday they give you a couple of bids, on Tuesday a few more and so on all the way up to 7 days where you are rewarded 30 bids, and then for every day you continue to bid you will get 30 more bids. I always save one bid each day so tomorrow the first bid I place gives me 30 bids. Some days, when I don’t buy bids, I still have a few bids to go for a little something. I’ve won many, many items with less than 30 bids.

So, all you have to do to earn free bids at DealDash is to show up and bid, then win and get some more free bids. It’s a wonderful system and I feel greatly appreciated for these free bids.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Toys For All Ages at DealDash

You couldn’t have more fun at DealDash then going for the fun and games category. I love bidding in this category. Whenever I am in need of a game or toy, I always go to DealDash first, they have something for everyone. I love the interesting selection of outdoor yard game, and indoor family games.

Think of your favorite game, and I bet you’ll find it at DealDash, one year for Christmas everyone in our family got a great game because they are fairly easy to win. They are a popular item to bid on at DealDash, and you don’t find them on the schedule every day, so you have to plan on winning in this category. Some items go on the market every day, but not all items. That’s why it’s so important to shop ahead. Do your searches diligently.

The perfect Lego toy will come on the market and you don’t want to miss it. To ensure you don’t miss any auction, use the handy bookmarking tools provided by DealDash. They have the “Alert Me” tab in the auction, and you can find a bookmark star on the top right hand corner of the auction for items that have been scheduled already. By bookmarking it, you will place the item at the top of your DealDash Homepage. I like to set an alarm to remind myself to show up on time for the auction, you never know, it might go for a dollar, and I want to be the winner, but so will you!

They carry board games and gaming systems too. You can find the right game for your needs and set out to win it. The games category is perfect for the Buy It Now (BIN) option. You have to have the item, so you calculate the BIN price and place that number of bids in your Bid Buddy. To calculate the BIN number of bids simple divide the retail price of the item by the current cost of bids, the sum is the number of bids you could use until you own it.

When you reach that amount of bids and you haven’t won it, you buy it and DealDash will thank you by giving you all the bids you used trying back. Once you get the bids back, they are yours to use in any other auction. The formula for a $50 prize when bids are .15 cents is 50./.15=333 bids. Place the 333 bids in the Bid Buddy and sit back and wait. I like to use this time to shop around to book mark for the future. Just check in on the auction occasionally.

Check the games and toy category often, there is always something new coming down the road. DealDash keeps the auction site fresh and full of prizes for us to be entertained and win!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

DealDash Values Their Customers Greatly

You would be hard pressed to find another company that treats its customers with so much gratitude and kindness. Many companies, especially on-line companies, just see the customer as a sale and not like a human being. You won’t find that at DealDash, they are just too kind and very much in touch with their players.

There are many ways they show their gratitude for the players. First, and my personal favorite, is the free bids they give for your Time As High Bidder (TAHB), that’s a feature which tallies the time you bid. For every bid you place a timer begins until the next bid is placed, if all players are using the Bid Buddy feature you average about 10 seconds for every bid. This is tallied and when you reach your next “level”, you are rewarded with the free bids. The amount of bids is determined by the time you spend at DealDash, the more you bid, the more free bids you receive.

DealDash is very generous with the free bids in their social scene too. They love it when players share their wins with the Community, and for doing it, they reward you with up to 350 bids. You can then enter into a weekly contest where one lucky player will win 1000 bids, that’s always fun, and I’ve seen just about everyone that posts win the big prize.

There are other features on the site that shows they value their customers, for instance, the Bid Buddy. This is a feature that ensures you get a chance to accumulate your TAHB, without it, you would pounce in your bids and that just won’t help. You don’t earn any time at all if you stomp in your bids manually.

The Dashboard is a wonderful tool, there is all kinds of information, I suggest in the beginning you use it a lot to review the number of bids you place on items, to see who you beat in the “won auctions” list. See who beat you in the bidding history. Let’s say you just can’t remember the name of a player who beat you, but you do remember that it was a certain item, you go find the item in the list and and click on it. There you will see who it is and that’s always helpful if your thinking of getting involved with this person again.

Customer Service is the most outstanding on the internet. They care deeply for every concern you might have with DealDash. Everyone is so incredibly kind. They take care of your issue, usually immediately. They claim within 48 hours, but I’ve never waited more than a few hours for a response. They even have a Live Chat where you can contact them if you have an immediate problem. I found I used the chat a lot in the beginning, but now that I understand how to shop and play at DealDash, I rarely use it. It is however, very helpful.

DealDash is the most fair and honest penny auction site. You will win a lot and have a great time doing it. They want you back!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
