Be a Happy Camper with DealDash

If you’re family is like my family, you all love camping. It was our favorite vacation as our children grew up, and living in New England, we never had to go very far. There were many mini vacations. The hardest part of the trip was traveling all over the state to find camping equipment before we went. Thankfully, with DealDash, I no longer have to drive around to get what I need. It saves me so much hassle!

DealDash has the greatest selection of tents and camping gear, some classic brands you’ll recognize and some unusual items only DealDash seems to find. Their acquisition department searches the world and finds some of the most interesting merchandise.

What camping trip would be complete without a tent? I’ve won tents at DealDash for just a few dollars. I also “Binned” a tent once. When you BIN (Buy It Now) DealDash will give you any bids used trying to win it back. So, let’s say you decided to bid on a tent and you bid and bid, but to no avail, 300 bids later, you didn’t win, simply click the Buy It Now Tab on the auction page or in your Dashboard, and poof! the bids are returned to you! DealDash never wants you to go away empty-handed, and they want you to come back, so it’s a great plan and we all get what we want.

If you want to rack up the BIN amount of bids and leave the Bid Buddy to do your bidding for you, it’s the best and easiest way to win. Now, to figure out how many bids to put in the Bid Buddy take the cost of the item divide by the cost of the bids and you will have the number of bids to put in the Bid Buddy. Let’s use the Coleman Lantern above, $27./.15=180 bids. Don’t overbid, if you use all 180 bids, your best deal would be by purchasing it for bids back. You’ll have the item and your bids back.

I can’t stress enough how much the Bid Buddy feature helps you win auctions, you don’t over bid and you earn consistent free bids with the Free Bid Meter. It’s so simple to load the Bid Buddy, just open the auction from the main page, then see the “add bids here” and “Book a Bid Buddy” place the desired amount of bids in the space and then click on the “Book a Bid Buddy”. Bid Buddy will now bid for you in order that you joined the auction, if there are 8 players, your Bid Buddy will deposit a bid for you after 7 of them, so every 8th bid is yours.

During the bidding process you will earn free bids from DealDash just for bidding, every time you place a bid there is about 9 seconds until Bid Buddy places the next bid, during this time you are “high bidder” during Time As High Bidder , you earn time toward reaching your next level. When you have accumulated enough time to reach the next level your meter will light up blue and all you have to do is click on it and you’ll get your free bids. In the beginning, you get 50’s-100’s of bids but after time, you get thousands, I am at level 86 and when I reach level 87 I’ll get 1080 bids! It’s really beneficial to use Bid Buddy.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Shopping With a DealDash of Entertainment

If you’ve tried DealDash you know that this is the most fun you’ll ever have shopping, but if you’re new to the game, it’s ok, it’s more than just shopping, it’s entertainment shopping at its finest! Don’t be afraid to get in there and bid on everyday items. If you need an item DealDash has for bidding, why not try to get a great deal while having fun doing it? No reason at all, just do it!

Go Shopping first, set your sites on some of the amazing deals you would like to win and bookmark them. You can do this a couple of ways, first, click the star in the upper right hand corner or place a bid in the auction, that is another way to do it. The item will then stay on the top of your DealDash front page, then wait until the item comes on the market and bid!

Some people might call it flat-out-gambling, but with gambling you don’t have anything to show for it in the end and a casino won’t let you buy a deck of cards and get your money back. This is shopping because if you don’t win it you can buy the item (called Binning) and get all your bids back. So you only take chances if you don’t plan on buying the item, that’s why I suggest, especially in the beginning, you bid on items you really need. Once you feel more comfortable bidding, you can branch out to larger ticket items. The journey is half the fun, but really winning is the best.

When you win a prize at DealDash a splash of fireworks lights up on your screen announcing “Congratulations!” You won…..item description!! I have won so many prizes with just a few bids, it’s crazy fun! You might wonder how DealDash makes any money, well they do make a living by selling bids, the site currency, and by selling items for the retail price. They offer great deals on bids everyday and carry exceptional products.

The quality of the products at DealDash is the best on the market, and for items like a toaster, coffee pot and many other everyday items they are actually the same products you will find at the mall, only you don’t have to get in your car, and any time I can get a great deal and avoid the traffic, I’m in and DealDash has filled the bill!

Not only that, I used to dread Christmas shopping, no time, no real deals always waiting to the last minute, but now that I shop at DealDash, I am done with my Christmas Shopping by October. Tip: Although you can get items right up until the last moment with DealDash, don’t wait until October to start you holiday shopping, it’s too close and you may waste bids in desperation. You want to get the deal, and you can do it at your own time all year long. It’s so nice to enjoy the holidays knowing my shopping is done. , Another great deal at DealDash is they ship every item free, so you’ll never pay a dime for gift delivery!

You can feel good about shopping and spending a lot of time at DealDash, you are getting your items and having fun doing it. Never underestimate the BIN (buy it now) it gives you your item and the bids used back. No casino does that! Deal Dash IS Entertainment Shopping at the finest level on the internet!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

DealDash Best Bidding Times

There are a few great times of the day to bid at DealDash. No one time can be a “shoe-in” to better winning because you do have to factor in so many situations. However, DealDash is open to players across the United States and that’s it! So that narrows down the pool of players from some other sites which are open in other countries.

That means the DealDash advantage starts before you even get started, but there are some other factors to consider. For example, the time of day you bid can have an influence on your winnings. When the site is busy, there are more people, but there is also more prizes, so anytime could be a real opportunity, but what I’ve noticed is during certain times of the day, there really are less people.

Well, if we didn’t have people there would be no competition, and after all, it is the thrill of the chase at DealDash, but when there are less people it can be your lucky day! The site seems to be less busy when people are driving to and from work. I live on the East Coast, so for me what I’ve seen over the past two years of bidding is between 5AM East Cost time to 9AM West Coast time is a good time to bid. Likewise, the evening drive time, between 3PM East Coast to about 5PM West Coast.

During the middle of the day the site is busy with people who play at work, you know who you are! Then there is the stay at home crowd, when everyone is off to school and work and now is “my time”. This little secret could help you win if you can get to the site during what I call “drive time”. Luckily, there are a lot of items to bid on during drive times which you can and will win.

The ratio of players to prizes is less in the middle of the night too. There are less people, but also less prizes. The site is open 24 hours a day, and you can get some great deals in the middle of the night, but it is a sleepier place during the “wee hours” of the night, yet there are opportunity and advantage too!

What really shocked me was the number of players who play 24 hours a day. You can be sure they are using their Bid Buddy to bid for them and they leave the site to “go about life” I do a little bit of both. I enjoy the prowl, but I also have a life and go off the do other things. Just about everyone does this and the beauty of this is the opportunity to gain when someone else is “asleep at the wheel”. What I mean is people make mistakes, they don’t put enough bids into Bid Buddy and what happens? Well, about 4 AM they run out of bids and if you are there, you could be the winner!

DealDash is a very popular site and it’s always busy, that is one of the things that actually makes it more fun, but just knowing these few tips could help you win more. Get out there during “drive times” and keep in mind the middle of the day and the evenings are busy. Why not, it’s a national pastime! It’s a great place to play and shop for everyday items!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

The Art of Buy It Now at DealDash

There really is an art to the Buy In Now process, when I first started at DealDash I didn’t put any weight on the process and therefore lost a lot of opportunity. I would bid and bid on the same item over and over until I won it. All those bids…gone and I could have owned it.

First, let’s talk about what “Buy It Now” is. Deal Dash has a policy in place so no player has to go away empty-handed, and it’s the Buy It Now option. It’s also know as “binning” and BIN, but they all mean the same thing, you can get your bids back if you don’t win.

If you are bidding on an item at DealDash and you just can’t win it, you can purchase the item and DealDash will give you all the bids you used to win it back. There is a tab in the auction which you can select and it will take you to the checkout, when your transaction is complete you own the item and you got all your bids back to go for another item. You will no longer be able to win in this auction.

You have a full week after someone else wins the auction you’ve bid in to purchase it for your bids back, you can find the “Buy Now” tab on the first page of your Dashboard. Simply find the item you wish to purchase in the list an click on the “Buy Now” tab and at the time your purchase is complete your bids are deposited into your account.

So, you don’t have to keep trying and trying to win an item you really need, this can be as simple as shopping! Look through the DealDash merchandise. Plan on binning because you need the item. When you plan on binning there is a simple formula to determine when to stop bidding. It is likely you will win the item before the BIN, if fact that is the plan, right? But if you don’t you have the BIN to fall back on. To determine the BIN amount of bids take the value of the item and divide it by the cost of bids, then you will have the number of bids to BIN. You don’t want to exceed that number because you would be paying more than retail price. So, if your item is valued at $50 and bids are .15 cents you would calculate 50/.15=333. 333 is the magic number, don’t exceed this, back out and buy. Get your bids back and move on. You now have your item and 333 bids to go!

This is a great way to purchase gifts, you can select a gift, possibly win it right away and get a great deal, or plan on binning. You can shop on a budget and find great deals at DealDash, always keep in mind you can purchase it and get your bids back. Stay focused on items you really want, this way purchasing it makes sense.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!
