Tips to Fulfill Your Bidding List on DealDash

Get all of the items on your DealDash bidding list. Here are some tips and tricks to help. Read on for more information.

Everyone has a bidding list on DealDash – even if you haven’t written it down or thought about it very much. Think about it now, don’t you have a few products that you will throw a few bids on every time that they come up for bid? I know that I certainly do. Even though I don’t have an actual list, I know that every time I see the set of cream colored queen sheets, the dinosaur night light, or anything cat-related I will always put a few bids in my BidBuddy. There are a few ways that you can increase your likelihood of winning your most coveted items on DealDash. Read the rest of this article to get some tips and tricks to get you started.

Actually Make a List

I know that I just said that I didn’t have an actual list, but it can help you immensely if you make one! When you write down exactly what you want to win from DealDash it helps you become much more focused on winning these particular items instead of getting side-tracked when you come on DealDash to bid. Simply writing your coveted items on a sticky note and keeping it near your computer can help. I don’t know about you, but when I sign in to DealDash I like to check out what’s currently up for bid, and sometimes I forget to do a search for my bidding list items. By keeping an actual list you increase your chances of remembering to search for your most wanted items.

Your BidBuddy Will Help

After you’ve made a hard copy of your bidding list, then it should be easy for you to remember to search for your items every day or two. The problem with this is you might not remember to come back and bid at the appropriate time. You can fix this problem by either setting a bookmark or by booking a BidBuddy.

Setting a bookmark is easy and takes just one click of the mouse. When you’re on DealDash you can set a bookmark for any auction you like by simply clicking the little star in the upper right-hand corner of the auction.

Booking a BidBuddy is a quick task as well. After opening up any individual auction page you will see two ways to bid. There is a “Bid Now” button and the BidBuddy. It has a blank white space, and that’s where you will input the number of bids you want to spend. After that, click “Book a BidBuddy” and your BidBuddy will now be set and ready to bid for you.

Just Don’t Stop on DealDash

“Slow and steady wins the race.” That is a completely true statement if you’re talking about DealDash. Read on…

Have you ever been in a very long auction on DealDash? I have been in a few that have lasted for over 24 hours, but I have seen some that last for days. This often happens when there is a super promotion going on such as Free Auction Wins. Just think, if it’s a highly sought after item with a free win, it could go on for quite some time. Here are some tips on how to deal with longer auctions on DealDash.

Free Auction Wins

As I mentioned above, sometimes DealDash does a wonderful promotion called “Free Auction Wins.” This means that no matter how high the bidding gets the winner will not have to pay a final auction fee at the end of the auction. Well, they pay .01, but that’s just a processing fee. .01 is close enough to free in my book! When DealDash runs this very popular promotion, expect to participate in some very long auctions. This is especially true when you are bidding on gift cards.

Since the BIN (Buy It Now) price of a gift card is just its face value with no other fees added then people love to rack up the TATHB (Time As The Highest Bidder) time on their bid meters to get free bids. This is especially true if it’s a very popular and useful gift card such as Target or Shell Gas because these are places that people go anyway. So if you’re bidding on a popular gift card on a Free Auction Win day, then be prepared to bid for a while.

Be Sure to Use Your Buddy

If you’re bidding in a marathon auction, then be sure that you’re taking advantage of DealDash’s free bidding tool, the BidBuddy. Trust me, after the first couple hours of sitting at the computer bidding you’re going to want to take a bathroom break, get a snack, and stretch your legs a little. So even if you prefer to do single-click bidding, be prepared to use your BidBuddy some of the time so you don’t miss out on any of the action while you take your break.

Don’t Bid the Entire Time

If you’re in a very long auction, then I don’t advise that you spend the entire time bidding. This is especially true if it’s a very high dollar item that many other people are trying to win. After you have put in a few initial bids to see if the auction is going to end quickly, then you need to assess the situation. See how many BidBuddies are taking turns bidding. If there are more than 10 BidBuddies bidding, then this auction is most likely going to last a long time. I would check back every hour or so and count the BidBuddies. Once it’s down to 5 or less, then I would get back into the action.

I would check back every hour or so and count the BidBuddies. Once it’s down to 5 or less, then I would get back into the action. This strategy can fail, of course, if the BidBuddies are all set to a similar number of bids and the auction ends suddenly. However, if you have only placed a few bids, anyway, you are only losing .30 or .40, so it’s not a big commitment.

Also, if you have received your free bids for bidding daily, then it’s no commitment at all, because depending on how many daily free bids you are earning, it could completely cover the cost of throwing a few bids out to “test the waters” of an auction.

DealDash Tips: Wonder Why They Do That?

Image result for why do that?

Sometimes people do some strange things on DealDash. Have you ever wondered why they do that?

Bidding on DealDash is a fun and unique experience. One of the great things about DealDash is that there are very few rules, and you can bid pretty much however you want. Want to just bid a single bid on every item? Go ahead! Want to bid once a month but bid until you win, even if it’s double the amount of the price in bids? Sure, you can do that too. Everyone’s DealDash experience is different, and since there are so many different people using DealDash at one time you’re bound to come across some people that you have no idea why they would do certain things. Here are a few examples, from DealDash.

Why Would Someone Bid So Many Times?

One of the most common questions I get asked is “Why do people overbid?” and there are a couple of different answers that make sense. One is that they are overbidding in in hopes that they don’t win, they are just bidding to get extra clock time and plan on doing a BIN (Buy It Now).

This is an especially common thing to happen when DealDash is doing one of their 2x or 3x multipliers and you are getting double or even triple the clock time while you are bidding. People who have bid up to the BIN price will often still stay in the auction if there are more than 3 or 4 people still participating. This way they can earn extra clock time and probably won’t win. However, anything is possible on DealDash, and it’s not completely unheard of for an auction with 5 people to end suddenly. So if you like to do this, beware, because you might actually win the item and end up overpaying due to the number of bids that you spent.

Another reason why you might see someone bidding way too many times on an item is that they have a lot of free bids saved up that they want to use. DealDash offers many ways to get free bids, both by bidding and by sending in pictures. Some people look at these free bids as “expendable”, and will overbid to get something that they are interested in.

Why Doesn’t Everyone Use Their BidBuddy?

Personally, I use my BidBuddy every time. However, there are some people who prefer to do single-click bids instead of using the BidBuddy. A reason that they might do this is that they want to appear mysterious or surprising to the other bidders. If you are watching an auction with 5 different BidBuddies battling it out, there is no surprise. They will take turns bidding until there is only 1 left, and they are the winner. Watching an auction that has people who are placing single-click bids are definitely more exciting!

A DealDash Per Day – Tips!

Visiting DealDash often is a great way to keep up on what’s new and interesting. Visit DealDash every day and have more fun!

If you love fun and shopping, then the DealDash website is perfect for your lifestyle. There are so many auctions going on at the same time on DealDash, it’s hard to pick just one! Luckily, you don’t have to pick just one. If there are lots of items you like, though, it would be a smart idea to just bid on a couple at a time. You can always come back again, day after day, and become a “DealDash Regular”. Read on for more information.

How Many Items Should I Bid On?

As I mentioned, though, you probably don’t want to bid on too many items at once. If you bid on more than a few items at once it can be a little difficult to keep track of too many auctions at once. This is why I personally only bid on one or two items at a time. If you do prefer to bid on many items at a time, though, there is a solution. There is always the BidBuddy to keep you company on your bidding journey.

Don’t Bid Without Your Buddy

As I said, if you’re the kind of person who likes to keep busy and bid on multiple items at once then you need to use the BidBuddy. The BidBuddy is an invaluable tool that DealDash gives free to use to all bidders. You can put in as few as one bid, and as many bids as you have in your bid bank. You can cancel it or add more bids at any time. Your BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner.

If you’re wondering how the BidBuddy works, the BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner.

So if you’re sure that you want to bid on many items at once, then BidBuddy is the way to go! However, there’s also nothing wrong with pacing yourself and just bidding on one item at a time, either. You can always come back tomorrow, and the day after, and the day after! DealDash will always be there for you to use, 24/7, even on holidays.
