Free Bids for Time As High Bidder at DealDash

Everyone loves free bids and DealDash knows this, so they are happy to reward us with bids for every second we are bidding at their site. As DealDash players we are the luckiest of the penny auction players because the amount of bids you get from DealDash is generous and grows every time your reach your next level.

This is what the Time As Highest Bidder Bar looks like and it’s located on the bottom of your DealDash main page. This is where you can keep track of all the bids DealDash is going to give you, how much time you have left before you receive it and how many seconds you’ve already bid toward the next level.

Right next to this bar is a meter with the amount of free bids you will receive for your next level, when you reach it the meter will light up and all you need to do is click the button and Poof! The bids are in your account. So now if you have done your shopping, you can go place those bids on one item which you can win for the closing price. Sometimes DealDash offers 50% Off Wins and Free Wins, this is a double win because you not only got all those free bids, you get your item greatly discounted.

So what happens when you bid? That is the magic, each time you bid a meter ticks up your moments. This clock is best utilized when using Bid Buddy, the automatic bidding system provided by DealDash. When you use the Bid Buddy every second adds up quickly at first, and the longer you play the more bids you get, but also the meter goes a little slower. In the beginning you will earn dozens and hundreds of bids, eventually you will earn thousands!! That is a lot of free bids.

Often DealDash will offer a Bid Multiplier, the multiplier adds bids much faster, often 2 times faster, 3 times faster or five times faster! During these sales there are a lot of players and DealDash will offer extra prizes each minute and sometimes they will also offer 50 at once. There are plenty of auctions for every one and there is always another one right around the corner.

So, all you need to do to get these Free Bids for your Time As High Bidder (TAHB) is bid. Just come to DealDash, buy your bid pack and start earning free bids!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Six Wins, One Day, Under $1 at DealDash

It excites me to share these fantastic wins which I had in one day at DealDash. This was a great day of bidding for me, the timing was right, and I won a lot. The site was really crowded, but what I noticed was players getting involved in too many auctions at once, and losing as a result of it. So, for me, this was a boon.

You do need to pay close attention to the auction to win them under $1. It won’t work if you place 10 bids in every auction available at once. Spreading your game too thin rarely works, at least for me. Others my win this way, but they are burning up many bids to do it.

The way to get all these low bid wins is to watch the auction closely. Bid in one auction at a time. That is key to the success. You can’t simultaniously physically watch more than one auction at once. So, to your benefit, stay focused on one at a time.

Another key to winning with just a few bids is to only use a few bids. This helps you win for less. If you stay involved in an auction which will go high, you will use all your bids. So only use a set number of bids per item.

I usually set a number of bids for myself that I won’t exceed if I’m bidding, say 25 bids. If I don’t win by 25, I drop out, with the exception of being in a battle with only one other player. And even then, if I don’t win in another dozen or so bids, I will back out. Nothing bugs me more that using too many bids on an item I know others have won for pennies. If I’ve seen it go for .12 cents, I want it around .12 cents, so if I don’t win by .12 cents, I’m out… usually.

Tip: Don’t do that every time, if you do, others will know your game. You have to battle once in a while so others know you are serious about bidding. That being said, there are many players who play only the front end of an auction, and they win a lot. That’s also a indicator that winning prices are low at DealDash.

Let’s take a look at my great day: I won other items, but not under a dollar, and I used many more bids. These wins are the successful result of my strategy. Every win is shipped for free.

$445 Rustic Tri Pod Floor Lamp- 24 bids, $0.76 cents
$209 Handmade Storage Case- 24 bids, $0.67 cents
$165 Sterling Silver 18K Gold Plated Crystal Necklace- 19 bids, $0.52 cents
$329 14-pc. Amuse Bouche Serving Set-17 bids, $0.46 cents
$254 Crystal Sommelier Wine Glasses – 2 bids, $0.33 cents
$1642 Metal Art Wall Decor-16 bids, $0.85 cents

A wonderful group of prizes valued at $3044.00 and I paid only $15.30 for bids plus$3.89 for prizes. Each item will be shipped free. So, stay focused on one item, and don’t exceed a set number of bids.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

How Does DealDash Work?

Let’s start by saying that DealDash is the most fun you’ll ever have shopping. But, what kind of shopping is it? This is Entertainment Shopping. You pay to play and your may or may not win the prize you are going after. Many, many players win items for just pennies, dimes or a couple of dollars. There are items, like iPads, going to up to 90% off. You’ll need an account and a username, and you’re off to play!

The way it works is you buy a bid pack, bids are usually between .12 cents and .16 cents on sale everyday at DealDash. Your first bid pack is $36, but once you have an account, you will have access to the membership price of the day.

You get involved with an auction that you are interested in, by placing a bid, which is worth the .12 cents you paid for it, plus the price of the item goes up by one cent per bid. So you bid, it’s one cent, the next guy bids, it’s two cents, the next bid three cents, and so on until the last bid is placed. No one knows exactly when the auction will end, it depends on the number of players, and the tenacity of their game.

In the beginning at DealDash, while you’re trying to get used to the site, try to bid only on small items which are valued less than $200. One reason is the auction will end soon, there are usually only a hundred to 700 bids placed in total for an item. You won’t have to wait hours to win an auction, and you’ll be able to see how the auctions finish up. Once you’ve bid in several auctions, you will be more comfortable going for the other items, over $200. There you will potentially spend many more hours on an auction, especially if the item goes up to $150, that’s 15000 pennies! You will have to be one of many players to fulfill that closing price.

If you don’t win the item at DealDash, but you used a bunch of bids trying, you can purchase the item and DealDash will refund you the number of bids you used. So, you do end up with you item, and now you have the bids to go on to win another item.

When you win an item, DealDash will ship it to you for free. If you purchase an item, shipping is free then as well.

As you can see it’s easy-peasy to get started playing and shopping at the greatest Entertainment Shopping site.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

The Seasoned Pro at DealDash

By “Seasoned Pro” I mean a player who has been actively bidding at DealDash since the beginning in 2009 or soon there after. I’ve been playing about 2 1/5 years, and I’m still learning. If you want to win like a pro at DealDash, you have to think like a pro, and that entails having some restraint. You can’t come in on your first day and pounce bids in after every player, you will soon be out of bids, and that’s just a waste of money.

The seasoned pro knows that you need to have a good amount of bids to win a big ticket item, well into the thousands, you may not use all of them, but you should plan on needing all of them if you “are in it to win it”, otherwise, you are just hoping you win a big ticket item with a few bids, does it happen? yes, of course it does, but you can’t count on it. You can however, count on using a lot of bids to win an item over $1000 and some really popular lower value items as well.

Seasoned pros at DealDash have patience, you can watch an auction and know when a good time to get in is, for me it’s all about the odds, so if there are a few players in the auction, the odds are better, I’m in, and I’m playing with the best players on the site. But, to have patience is a great seasoned trait. You shop for just the right item, that means you don’t bid on everything in sight. If you do bid on everything in site, have a bundle of bids, you’re going to need them.

Most players are fair, some like to be rude, they aren’t doing anything wrong by jumping into an auction really late, it’s just not nice, and I see it often. They can be outsmarted with their own game. I find a good amount of seasoned pros do this. It’s a jump fest and usually the same handful of players, so as soon as you know who they are, you’ll do well to conserve bids around their game.

The Seasoned Pro always buys their bids on sale, DealDash offers different sales throughout the week and often, usually once a week, you can find bids on sale for .12 cents each, and if you can bid during a Bid Multiplier sale, the combination of the two will maximize your bid count.

You can bid like a pro if you bid like one, use some restraint, have patience, load up on bids when they are on sale, and please don’t be rude, it’s not becoming!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
