DealDash Tips: Why Didn’t I Think of That?

DealDash

There have been many times on DealDash I have thought to myself “Why didn’t I think of that?” If you feel the same way, read on for more information.

Everyone tends to look at things from a different perspective, and things that are obvious to you might not be clear to me, and vice-versa. In this article, I will tell you about some of the things that I have learned from watching other DealDash bidders. Truly, I have learned quite a bit by just observing many auctions and tons of different bidding styles. Here are some tips I’ve learned from watching other bidders on DealDash.

You Don’t Need to be the First Bidder

Before I really got heavily into DealDash bidding I did quite a bit of research by reading different articles online. Many of these articles seemed to suggest that unless you join the auction in the very beginning then the other bidders would be upset if you joined in later. Now, this might be the case if you join in the last few bids before the auction reaches the $5 No Jumper limit. However, if you join at the $3 or $4 mark, for example, no one will most likely notice or care.

The $5 No Jumper limit was put in place to limit how many bidders can enter an auction at any one time, so the bidders have a better chance of winning. So technically, even if you join the auction at $4.99 then you are still within the rules. However, if there are only 2 or 3 people left in the auction at that point, they are definitely going to notice and not be very happy. This can make them fight even harder and longer for the auction because they feel that you are “late to the game”. In short, you can save bids by not joining an auction until closer to $5, but personally, I wouldn’t join too close to $5.

Want Free Bids? Use the Time Clock

When I first started bidding on DealDash, I could never understand why people would stay in an auction when they clearly weren’t going to win. For example, you can see when everyone placed their first bid – so why would someone who placed their first bid at $.02 and have been continuously bidding still be trying to win a $10 gift card whose auction value is currently $7? They have obviously put in way more than $3 worth of bids, which would be their break-even point. The answer is Time As The Highest Bidder (TATHB).

TATHB is when you get time on your time clock for each of the 10 seconds or so that you are the highest bidder. Once you have filled up your time clock, then DealDash will give you free bids. Once this bidder realized that they had put in enough bids to break even on the gift card and decided to do a BIN (Buy It Now) to get all of their bids back, yet saw that there were still 20 people still in the auction, it just makes sense to keep bidding! They figure that they might as well rack up some time on their time clock as the highest bidder to get their free bids faster. If there are more than 5 people in an auction it’s very unlikely that the auction will end abruptly with everyone canceling their bids at the same time. However, it CAN happen, so do this at your own risk.

Snow Day DealDash Bidding Tips

DealDash

Happy snow day, everyone! Today is the perfect day to curl up with a hot coffee and bid on DealDash. Here are some tips for today.

Are you going to be doing a lot of bidding today if you’re stuck inside? Sounds like a good plan to me! If you’re going to be doing a lot of bidding you’ll want to keep these DealDash tips in mind so you can win more and save more bids. Read on for more information from DealDash.

Watch Carefully

You should try to watch each auction before you jump into the bidding. There are lots of things that you can learn just by watching the auction. For example, you can figure out who is using a BidBuddy if you watch carefully enough. If you are a new bidder and haven’t figured out how to tell who’s using a BidBuddy, it’s easy. Just look for patterns in the bidder’s name. They will bid in the exact same order with around 2 seconds left on the clock.

Speaking of BidBuddy

Once you see that pretty much everyone is using the BidBuddy, you’ll want to use him, too. The BidBuddy is how the majority of people win auctions on DealDash. Using the BidBuddy makes sense because you will never have an instance of bidding too slowly and missing out on an auction. Also, if you’re bidding on a snowy day like today then you have to worry about power outages and internet interruptions. With the BidBuddy you don’t have to worry about these things. As long as you have put bids into the BidBuddy he will keep bidding for you even if your power goes out or you lose your internet connection. That’s an important tip to keep in mind on a snow day!

DealDash Tips to Win Gaming PCs

If a gaming computer was on your Christmas list this year, but Santa didn’t come through, then win one from DealDash!

Playing video games on a gaming PC is a fun activity for kids of all ages – even grown adults. Would you rather have a video game console or a gaming PC? It’s up to you. You can’t imagine the fun that you can have on a gaming PC if you have been gaming on a regular PC. There’s just no comparison! Do you know what makes gaming even better and more fun? If you won your gaming PC for an awesome price from DealDash. Here are some of our top tips for winning gaming PCs.

Choose Your New PC

Before doing any bidding on DealDash you’ll want to do your research and choose the best gaming PC for your needs. There are a few different choice of gaming PCs on DealDash. Before you invest your time and your bids you should research which one is perfect for you. Some of the choices on DealDash include PCs with 16GB DDR4 memory or 32GB DDR4, and different choices of graphics cards as well. You’ll want to look up your favorite games and see what kind of specs that you need on your new gaming PC to be able to play your favorite games. Trust me, you’ll want to do your research thoroughly before you begin bidding in an auction for a gaming PC. If you’d like to read up on the gaming PCs that are currently being offered on DealDash, just click this link right here.

Pick the Best Auction

DealDash often offers the same item within days or weeks of each other, and typically will come back again at other times. It just depends on how popular the auctions are. Once you have figured out exactly which gaming PC that you would like to win then choose the day and time that works best with your schedule. Typically auctions that start very early in the morning or very late at night on weeknights tend to end at a lower price. However, with a high-end item like a gaming PC, then the auction could last several days. Always be sure to place a few bids at the beginning of the DealDash auction so you won’t be locked out later on.

Just BIN It if You Need it

If you are planning on purchasing a new gaming computer anyway, hopefully, you will win. However, high-end electronics like gaming PCs usually bring out a lot of competition. This means that it could prove difficult to win. Of course, someone has to win, so why not you?

For everyone else who doesn’t win, no problem! DealDash offers the BIN option on each and every auction, even gaming PCs. You can just BIN (Buy It Now), and pay retail price for the item and you will receive all of your bids back. You’ll receive your item, all of your bids back, and get to keep the clock time that you accrued while bidding, which will be a significant amount of time since auctions for gaming PCs typically last for a long time. BINning an auction that you don’t win from DealDash is always a smart choice so you don’t lose any bids.

DealDash Tidbit Auction Tips

Some DealDash tips don’t need very much elaboration. These little tidbit tips are great for reading when you don’t have a lot of time. Read on and get some great tips.

We here at DealDash Tips Blog love to write articles for you that are not only informative but also entertaining. However, we also realize that sometimes you don’t have a lot of time to waste and want to get right down to the business of winning auctions. Without further ado, here are some little tidbit tips for you to read when you’re having a time crunch.

Tips for Buying Bids

Buy the largest bid pack that fits within your budget. No matter where you shop, buying in volume always makes sense.
Wait for a sale to buy bids. If the bid price is .17 today, I can almost guarantee it will be lower in the next couple of days.
Don’t wait until you are almost out of bids to buy a bid pack. See the tip above? If you wait until the last second to buy bids you might end up paying a premium for them.

Tips for Choosing an Auction

There are SO many more auctions than the ones just on the main DealDash homepage. Click to the 2nd, 3rd, 4th, etc. page and see what’s coming up in a few minutes or later on in the day.
Don’t bid from the main homepage. Open up the auction that you want to bid on. You will get valuable information such as who won the item last, and for what price.
Use the categories to browse. If you don’t see anything that you’re interested in bidding on then use the category drop-down menu to get some ideas.
If you don’t see what you want, do a search. DealDash can only show so many future auctions on the main pages. Use the search bar to input exactly what you’re interested in and see if you can find what you’re looking for.

Tips for Bidding

If there are 10+ people in an auction that you’re interested in and it’s nowhere near the $5 No Jumper cutoff, just sit and wait. The likelihood of all 10 bidders going out at the same time is extremely unlikely (but not impossible!) so wait until there are fewer bidders.
Use Your BidBuddy. That’s all there is to it.
Bid up to the BIN (Buy It Now) price, and you can get all of your bids back by purchasing the item.
