Tips to Rule the Roost on DealDash

Ruling the roost means that you’re in control. So are you in control of the DealDash auctions that you’re bidding on?

Being in control of the auctions that you’re bidding on is important if you want to establish yourself as a strong bidder on DealDash. There are certain ways that you can be taken more seriously when you’re bidding. Here are some suggestions from the DealDash Tips Blog.

Bid Early and Often

Many people like to get their bids in early so they aren’t locked out when the auction hits the $5 No Jumper limit. However, many, many people seem to just put in one bid to save their place. Sure, putting in 1 bid to save your place is a good idea. However, an even better idea would be to stick around and keep bidding. This is especially true if there aren’t many people bidding in the auction. If you can establish yourself as a bidder who bids from the beginning and keeps on bidding until the end, then you will be well on your way to ruling the roost.

Let the Stompers Stomp

Stompers are those people who bid directly after you and cheat you out of your “clock time” that you are collecting to get free bids from DealDash. They are extremely annoying and tend to make people quite angry when they do this. I have seen the scenario play out time and time again – a few people will be bidding on an auction, using the BidBuddy so all bidders are getting their allotted clock time. Then in pops a stomper and starts bidding directly after every single person. Usually, one of the “fair” bidders will get upset and try to out-stomp the stomper. This results in both the stomper and the fair bidder to use up lots of bids, get frustrated, and leave the auction.

It makes a lot more sense to simply let your BidBuddy do it’s work and not interfere with the auction. The stomper typically stops stomping after a short while, because they are spending so many more bids than they would if they just used the BidBuddy. For example, if there are 10 bidders in the auction that were taking turns with their BidBuddies, the stomper is using 10 bids to 1 of the other bidder’s bids. So when the other bidders have used 10 bids, the stomper has used 100. This is why it’s a much better plan to just let them stomp, they will tire of it pretty quickly and move on.

Tips for Timid Bidders on DealDash

DealDash

As someone who is a bit timid in real life, I have no problem being bold on DealDash. However, I know this is not the case with everyone. Here are some tips for timid bidders on DealDash.

Being timid is not the best way to go on DealDash. Timid bidders don’t seem to win as many auctions, and bidders who are bold risk-takers are usually the big winners. This doesn’t mean that you have to completely change your bidding style, but you could tweak a few things here and there. Read on for some informative tips from DealDash.

Don’t Wait Too Long

If you are a timid bidder who tends to sit and wait for a long time in front of an auction before you actually bid on it, you might want to be a little quicker. There are a few reasons for this tip.

Firstly, if you wait too long to place a bid the auction might end before you even get started! I have seen hundreds of auctions end for less than .25, which equals 25 bids from various bidders.
Next, you might get locked out. Normally, people are locked out of bidding on auctions at $5, however, there are some days when it’s $3. You’ll know when you sign in and read the main page.
Finally, people tend to get very frustrated if they have been doing 1-on-1 bidding for a while and someone new jumps in at the end. When people get frustrated on DealDash they tend to bid more than they were originally planning on, because they don’t want you to win after they have put so many bids into the auction already.

Don’t Be Afraid to Bid Against Veteran Bidders

Being a timid or new bidder can be a bit daunting at times. When you are bidding in an auction you can see when everyone joined DealDash, and some of those dates go all the way back to 2009 when the site was founded. If your date says 2018, I could see why you might feel a bit intimidated. However, I would bid anyway, if I were you. Just because someone has been a long-time bidder doesn’t mean that they are always a big winner. They may or may not be a frequent bidder. If you are a newer bidder who bids a lot, then who knows, you could be even more experienced than they are!

DealDash Tips for Special Days

DealDash

There are lots of special days, from holidays to birthdays to anniversaries. DealDash can help make all of them special.

No matter what the special day, DealDash can help out with a present or a little “pick me up” to make it even more special. There are lots of special days each and every month, here are just a few ideas on how you can make the most of them with DealDash. Read on for more information.

Mother’s and Father’s Day

These special days are approximately a month apart, so you can start thinking about them around the same time. There are lots of nice things that you can get on DealDash for Mom or Dad for these special days. No matter what your parents like, there are so many lovely choices on DealDash to pick from.

For example, if your dad loves to garden, then why not get him a lovely fountain to put in his garden? It would be nice looking as well as very relaxing for him to enjoy while he does his gardening.

If your mom is very “house proud” and loves to decorate, then why not get her some art from DealDash? There are so many paintings to choose from I’m sure that you will find one that you think she will love. In addition, DealDash also has some other lovely decorator pieces and sculptures that your mom is sure to love.

Birthdays for Young and Old

No matter what the age of the birthday boy or girl, from infant to senior, you’re sure to find something special. One of the great things about getting birthday presents on DealDash is that if you find something that you are 100% sure that the person will like, you can bid it up to the BIN (Buy It Now) price. If you don’t win the item, then you can BIN it for the regular price and DealDash will give you back all of your bids that you have spent on that auction.

Other Holidays

As I mentioned, there are lots of holidays that happen each and every month. From New Year’s Day to Christmas, DealDash always has something special going on during the holidays. Some of the special things that go on include special sale bid prices, special promotions, and fun auctions.

DealDash Tips: Don’t Forget to Bid!

DealDash

Have you ever seen an item on DealDash and thought “I gotta have that!” but then you forget to come back and bid on the item? That is so frustrating! Here are some tips from DealDash to prevent that from happening again.

Picture it, you are browsing around on DealDash and see the perfect item for your home, family, or friend. You think to yourself “I’ll come back later when the bidding is open on this item. Then you walk away and forget about the item. Later you think “Oh no!! I missed that auction!!” I can’t even tell you how many times that has happened to me over the years. It’s a really frustrating experience that doesn’t have to happen to you again! DealDash has implemented a few handy ways that you can prevent this from happening again.

Alerts for the Future

If you have been browsing for something special in an upcoming auction and you spot the item of your dreams it would be a shame to miss out on it. However, if the item isn’t scheduled yet, then you have run into a pickle since you can’t set a BidBuddy for an item that doesn’t have a scheduled start time.

No problem, ladies and gentlemen! DealDash has something called “Alerts” that you can set for the future. You can set an alert for anything in the DealDash product catalog that there isn’t currently an auction scheduled to start soon. Search for anything that you would like or need, and click on the picture when it comes up. If there isn’t an auction scheduled for that item in the near future you will see a little button that says “Alert Me”. Just click that button and DealDash will send you an email when they have scheduled an auction that that item, and then again when it is about to start. I have set alerts for a few things over the years that I ended up with such as my “no touch” stainless garbage can and my automatic cat box. I love the alerts feature because I have a terrible memory!

Bookmarking for the Present

Bookmarking is more for when you are browsing the auctions for the next few hours. If you are on the main page of DealDash you can look ahead for the next 24 hours or so. Bookmarking is so you can remember where an auction is that is starting soon so you don’t need to search for it again. You can bookmark any auctions that you see that have a starting time. If you’re not sure if you want to book a BidBuddy for a particular auction or not, then bookmarking is your next best plan. Simply click the star in the upper right corner, and the auction will be moved to your home page where the active auctions are.
