The Seasoned Player at DealDash

The seasoned player at DealDash is a cunning, experienced player. They know their way around the site, and they aren’t afraid to bid. They know when to bid and who to bid against. Well, this information is at the tip of your fingers and you can use the site to improve your game.

First, don’t start by banging bids around the site, this is called “stomping” if you bid randomly on items you waste bids and pay too much for an item, most seasons pros won’t do this, I say most because some will do it as if they just got there. They probably don’t spend much time on the site, or I’ve seen them only bid on extremely popular items this way.

As soon as you get to the DealDash site, check the “Winner’s List” this is the quickest way to see who is in the field right now. You will see who has won and how many items they have won. If there is one player winning a lot, try bidding on the same item after they have won it. They can only win it once a week and won’t be back for at least that long.

You will become a seasoned player over time, until then, watch the players who win a lot. If you can compete with a lot of bids, try it. They make mistakes too. If a player is seeming to place more bids than an item is worth, they could either be “big spenders” or they won their bids and with no cost they find overbidding to be acceptable. This activity is done mostly during the “Free Wins” sale, many players will come and go. Tip: Don’t get into a “Must win at all costs” frenzy during a Free Wins sale, especially with someone who has been on the site for several years. I don’t like to see those players win all the time, so I don’t always leave, but if I know that they are just going to bid, bid, bid me out of the park, I may leave, at least I still have my bids. You can always go back later, maybe they left or used all their bids.

The newer the player you are at DealDash, the fewer auctions you should be involved with. Bidding in every auction on the site is a seasoned players trait, but I don’t mind because they are spreading themselves too thin and bidding in too many auctions at once increases the chance that they will make a mistake.

As you can see, flipping around the site is important, you will become a seasoned player sooner if you do this. Check your bidding history, see what your bidding habits are, does it change if you bid on high value prizes or are you a lower value item seeker across the board?

Make a list of the players, keep them in mind, put a little star next to the ones who play in all the auctions, you will see a pattern. My best advice is to play around them. They have been at DealDash for a long time for one reason….they are winners!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Bid Buddy Has What You Need at DealDash

DealDash offers a special feature designed to help us win more auctions and it also has the power to give us free bids! It the wonderful Bid Buddy! The Bid Buddy is an automatic system of bidding created and provided by DealDash.

It’s a clever way to add the “fair” to their slogan “Fair and Honest Bidding Site”. By using a Bid Buddy you will only use the number of bids required in order of when you entered the auction. For example. Let’s say there are 5 players, and you are using a Bid Buddy, you will only use one bid per round, and Bid Buddy is there to place a bid if someone backs out. If you don’t use Bid Buddy and instead bid manually, you are placing a bid between each player and this wastes bids because for the same round you will use 6 or 7 bids and everyone else’s one bid. So you will essentially pay more for the item by using too many bids. That constant manual bidding also drives up the price, so Bid Buddy helps keep the final price low.

Perhaps the most glorious of this feature is the free bids! You don’t have to use Bid Buddy to get free bids, you only have to bid, you’ll get them, but if you use Bid Buddy you are assured the full 10 seconds between each players bid. That time is what clocks up your free bids. The Free Bid Meter is engaged every time you place a bid and if you are bidding manually chances are there will be another player who will “stomp” on you time. This is a sad waste of free bids, but some players just can’t resist. It’s usually “Newbies” who do it, they just don’t know how valuable the Bid Buddy is yet, and they may not even know about it.

I didn’t use the Bid Buddy the first few days, but that was so long ago. Today, I won’t even place one bid without using it….well, I do once in awhile just until I open the auction to place the bids in Bid Buddy. Even if I’m only using 10 bids, I use it.

So, how do you use it? You find the auction you wish to join on the main page. Click the item and the auction will open. When you get inside, directly in the center of the page there is a space where you place your cursor and click. Then add the appropriate number of bids and hit “Book Bid Buddy” This will engage your bids in the auction and all you need to do is keep an eye on it while the auction runs. Then you hope yours is the last bid. You can add more bids anytime using the same method and you can also cancel the Bid Buddy at any time.

Use your Bid Buddy all the time, it saves money and helps keep the final price down. It’s easy to use, saves bids, and defiantly helps you win more auctions.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

What is Customer Service at DealDash?

If you are wondering if Customer Service is real at DealDash, I can tell you that it is real, alive and well. The CS support team at DealDash is the best I’ve ever dealt with on the internet.

Very often, when you don’t actually have to talk to someone in the customer service department, they don’t seem to have the same respect or care about your issue. But, at DealDash, every customer is treated like someone special. You are what makes the site real.

There are a few ways you can contact Customer Service at DealDash, The quickest and most efficient way is by clicking on the “Contact Support” on the bottom of the main page. When you do that it will bring you to a link where you can either email support, or the quickest way is by hitting the “online support” this will bring you to a live CS rep and they will do everything they can to help you.

If they can’t or don’t have the authority to fix your problem, they will direct the issue to the proper person. Any of the Customer Support Representatives at DealDash are kind, helpful and very efficient.

You simply don’t find this everywhere. I feel like if I am a customer I want to be treated like a customer and not just a number. I used to have a lot of issues when I first started at DealDash, I blamed DD for every little mistake I made, and they handled every issue with respect and imminency. They always answered me right away and with kindness.

Lately, I don’t have any complaints because I’ve come to learn that my mistakes are my mistakes. The DealDash site just does not make any mistakes. Well, once they had some connection-server issues and they gave me a pile of bid to apologize. They are very generous, they always think how this could affect us continuing to use the Dealdash site.

They want us back and they will do what is right to fix anything that might come up. That being said, I never find a problem with the site.

DealDash cares about their customers, they want us to have a wonderful winning experience and they are always there to help.

Don’t underestimate the value of good Customer Service, you will always find it at DealDash!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

DealDash Has The Goods!

Not only can you have a lot of fun shopping at DealDash, you can find just about anything you can imagine for your home, family or friends. There are things you wouldn’t even think of buying if you went to the store, but when you win it at DealDash, it’s the best gift you could give.

They carry everything for your kitchen, from a blender to a juicer and a toaster to a microwave. These are great gifts and you can always find someone on your shopping list to treat with these convenient items. All of these items are on the DealDash occasional list. They aren’t things you will find every single day, you have to do some planning.

When you find an item that you think you can use and it’s not on the market yet, be sure to “bookmark” it. If the item is scheduled it will have a countdown clock on the auctions main page. What you do to bookmark is click the little white star on the upper right hand corner of your item, it will turn yellow, and you’ll know you have it bookmarked.

If the item is planned for a future auction, you can choose the “Alert Me” tab and DealDash will let you know when it becomes a scheduled item. They will send you a few email notifications, all you have to do is show up and bid!

I like to have a nice selection of gifts in my present closest, and one of my favorites to give is the handsome selection of clocks at DealDash, many of the clocks are handmade and very clever in design. There is a clock for everyone.

There are many other homewares too, they have a nice selection of ottoman, wall art, lighting, and small furniture. You will find these items on the site daily, they are always featuring a new design, but they always have “clocks”. Trust me when I tell you it’s not too early to start your holiday shopping at DealDash. You don’t want to wait until the last moment to try to “win” all your gifts, smart winning takes time. If you plan on Binning your items, you will be alright, just remember to shop for items you can afford to purchase if you don’t win it.

There is a great variety of outdoor items, like tents and patio supplies. You can find items for your pool and yard, or games for outdoors. They offer many of these items as “special” offers. That means you may not find a tent every day on the site, but if you search “tents” you can bookmark and Alert the item.

Anything you can think of, any person on your gift list, any thing that could make you happy can be found at DealDash. This is the best place to find great quality, everyday items for a fraction of the cost.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
