Tips to Smarter Bidding on DealDash

Do you love bidding on DealDash? Here are some tips for smarter bidding. Read on and see if you learn anything interesting.

If you’re a regular bidder on DealDash, you’re probably familiar with all of the things that I am writing, however, there’s no harm in brushing up on the basics. Everyone needs to reinvent themselves at some point, why not start today by switching up your bidding style?

Bidding Styles

Whether conservative or free-flowing, bids are what makes DealDash go ’round. If you’re normally someone who hangs onto every bid with a tight grasp and misses some great winning opportunities because of it – loosen up that grip on your bids! On the other hand, if you’re the sort of bidder who just throws your bids around like they’re nothing, then maybe it’s time to tighten up your grip a bit. It’s all about switching up your style and confusing your opponents and fellow bidders.

Take a Bidding Break Occasionally

Have you ever been bidding in an auction and it just never seems to end? You’re going head-to-head with another bidder, and then another person jumps in, and another, and another? Then, before you know it, you’re back in an auction with ten people? Take a break! If your auction now has ten bidders, then there’s an extremely good chance that you can stop bidding for a half hour or so and go take a little break. Go have a snack, have a drink, go outside and sit in the fresh air for a few moments. Little breaks like this can help you stay focused and with your eye on the prize. If you have invested WAY too many bids to do this without feeling nervous, then turn on your BidBuddy.

Your BidBuddy will bid tirelessly for you with as many bids as you load up. The BidBuddy will bid with these bids until they are gone, taking turns with any other BidBuddies that are set up on the auction. The BidBuddy is always a smart choice when you feel like you need a break and a breath of fresh air.

DealDash Tips to Bid Friendly

DealDash is a friendly place. You don’t need to be the other bidder’s best friend – but it is important that you bid friendly.

Bidding friendly can mean different things to different people, but we’ll just stick with the basics here. Everyone on DealDash is encouraged to be polite and be friendly with the other bidders because we are all one big community. Yes, that community is HUGE, but it’s still a community, and you will run across other bidders frequently, especially if you typically stick to the same bidding categories. Here are some tips for bidding friendly on DealDash.

Start Off Nicely

You’ll want to put your best (polite) foot forward when bidding on DealDash. So be sure that when you register that you pick a friendly or neutral name to be your bidding “handle”. Don’t pick something mean, frightening, or intimidating. This is also the case with your bidder’s bio and your avatar picture. Make sure that all of these things are nice, polite, or neutral. This is a family website, and I know from experience that kids often peer over the grown-up’s shoulders when they are bidding. Please don’t put up any frightening or scary pictures or bidder’s bios. It’s just not nice!

Don’t Be a “Stomper” or a “Jumper”

“Stompers” and “Jumpers” are considered very rude, and definitely not nice. Who in the world are Stompers and Jumpers? When the Stomper bids in an auction, they bid immediately after a person. This is rather rude, most people wait until there are about 2 seconds or so to go – and so does the BidBuddy. The reason that this is considered rude is because this cheats the other people out of their “clock time.” The Jumper is a bidder who waits until the auction has just about reached the $5 No Jumper limit and places their first bid – it’s especially rude if there are only 2 or 3 people left in the auction. This is rude because the people who have been bidding in the auction all along have used up lots of

The Jumper is a bidder who waits until the auction has just about reached the $5 No Jumper limit and places their first bid – it’s especially rude if there are only 2 or 3 people left in the auction. This is rude because the people who have been bidding in the auction all along have used up lots of bids, and feel that one of them should be the winner instead of someone new who has nothing invested in winning the auction.

Try Not to Get into Stomping Wars

Getting into a stomping war is kind of like being a Stomper times ten. A stomping war is when two people are bidding against each other, and one of them decides that they want the auction to hurry up and finish. They then proceed to stomp on their opponent over and over again. This will work out for them if their opponent is using a BidBuddy and not paying attention, however, many people who use the BidBuddy (me included!) watch the auctions anyway to monitor how quickly my bids are being used up. If your opponent is watching when you start stomping all over their BidBuddy, well, you’re about to have a stomping war on your hands. Try to avoid this, it really isn’t nice.

DealDash Tips for Confident Bidding

Confidence is a great trait to have. Here are some tips from DealDash on becoming a confident bidder.

There’s a difference between being a confident bidder and being a shy or timid bidder. A confident bidder goes into every auction hoping to win but preparing to lose, and has a game plan to get their bids back. A shy or timid bidder just throws in a few bids here and there and hopes that they win. Confidence is important to have in life as well as when participating in DealDash auctions. Here are some tips and tricks from DealDash to get you started on your way to confident bidding.

Show The Room Who’s Boss

When you enter into a DealDash auction do you just put in one bid and then sit there and wait to see what happens? While you can do that, I find that putting multiple bids into your BidBuddy is a better strategy. When you put a number of bids into your BidBuddy then your BidBuddy can take its place in line with the other BidBuddies. When other bidders in the room see that your BidBuddy has been bidding in line with the other BidBuddies, then they know that you mean business, that you’re a confident bidder. No one fears a timid bidder who only bids once here and there. They know that you’ll be easy to beat.

Fill Out Your Bidder Bio with Confidence

Have you filled out your bidder bio yet? It’s the little blurb that you can write about yourself when you are filling out your bidder profile. Now, be nice and polite, but also be confident! Mean and nasty rude bidder bios are taken down, but you don’t have to be rude to get your point across that you’re a confident bidder who’s here to win some auctions.

Be Confident, There’s Always BIN

There’s no need to be a timid bidder. As long as you are bidding on things that you are willing to buy if you lose, then there’s nothing to be timid or shy about at all. There’s no need to be worried that you will lose all of your bids, because you can always get them back when you use the BIN (Buy It Now) feature on DealDash. The BIN feature lets otherwise timid and unsure bidders be confident in their risk-taking. DealDash is completely risk-free if you’re willing to BIN the item if you don’t win.

DealDash Tips to Win Mother’s Day

Mother’s Day will be on Sunday, May 14th this year. You have approximately 2 weeks to get the lovely lady in your life a nice present. DealDash has some tips for you.

What does your mom, wife, aunt, or grandma enjoy doing? There are so many different ladies out there, and they are each special in their own way. Perhaps your mom loves art, and your wife doesn’t care about art but loves to go out to eat. DealDash has something for each of the special ladies in your life.

Pampering Items

Not all – but most – ladies enjoy pampering items. These items can include things like back and foot massagers, candles, and beauty treatments. Pampering items can also include things like perfume. Not every woman loves perfume, but many do. And the ones that love perfume tend to wear it every day, so they go through it pretty quickly.

Clothing and Bags

If a lot of women enjoy pampering items, even more women enjoy clothing and bags. DealDash has recently started offering not only clothing, but also ladies’ purses, wallets, and laptop bags. Wouldn’t your mother or wife be so surprised to be gifted with such an amazing present as a new purse? She would love it! Luckily, you can win one on DealDash for an amazing deal.

Jewelry and Watches

Do you know what kind of jewelry that the lady in your life likes to wear? You probably can’t go wrong with a beautiful necklace. Even if your favorite female doesn’t wear necklaces every day she most likely wears one on special occasions or date nights. Earrings can make a lovely gift as well, just be sure that the recipient of the gift has pierced ears!

Gift Cards for All Occasions

No matter what the lady in your life enjoys, DealDash has a gift card for that. DealDash offers restaurant gift cards, big box store cards, gas gift cards, and specialty retailer cards as well. There are gift cards of different denominations from $10 to $500! Some of these gift cards are bundled with bids, and some aren’t. If you wanted to make sure that your mom has an excellent day, why not make her up a bundle of gift cards that include all of her favorite things?

Buy It Now – BIN IT!

Now, your mom loves you and doesn’t want you to waste your money. So when you are bidding on an item and are certain that you aren’t going to win but you have already used a lot of bids on it, then you can BIN it. BIN means that you pay the retail price of the item or the face value of the gift card, and DealDash will return all of the bids that you used on the item. They will also ship it to you for free. It’s a great way to bid on the items you want, but have the safety net of getting your bids back.
