New Items of Luxury from DealDash

You can always find something for your home at DealDash, they variety of merchandise is amazing, and lately they’ve added another essential everyday item to the line-up, it’s towels! Luxurious, fluffy and affordable bath towels. There is a nice variety of colors to choose fro, suitable for any home: Charcoal, Ivory, Deep Blue, Moss Green. I’ve seen this $99 Charcoal Towel set sell for an average of $15. There is always one or another offer for the towels that you can bid on. They are popular, yet some are selling around a dollar!

You can also find other linens and bed spreads at DealDash. They have been around for awhile, so a lot of the regular players have all the sheets and blankets they need. I have a few of each color! The bed spread makes a lovely gift, and it’s so soft and easy to clean. I usually keep a couple in the closet for gifts, you never know when a bridal shower might pop up, and everyone needs a big fluffy comforter!

DealDash also has sheets in three sizes: Full, Queen and King. They are also very soft and yet sturdy. They dry in minutes and have kept their shape. I like to win the items for the linen closet because they are good gifts, but also because they are easy to win, and once in a while I like to trade one in for bids. This is a bid exchange program offered by DealDash, they will give you a set number of bids if you decide you don’t want an item once you’ve won it. It’s very convenient. I keep a list of my open wins on my dashboard, if I don’t have enough bids for one items I can always exchange for bids win one of my wins.

You do have to be willing to have nothing in the end if you do that because there are no guarantee you will win anything with the bids and now you don’t have your win either, so be very sure this is what you want when you exchange. I’ve only regretted it once, but I still think about that one mistake. What if. Just be sure you don’t want an item before you exchange.

The sheet and comforters are generally easy to win, if you get into a battle and the other player won’t let go, do yourself a favor and be the one to let go, go for the next one. There is always something nice for your linen closet to bid on at DealDash. There is also a fair retail price for all this linens, so if you do get going and won’t let go until you spend the products value in bids, you can then purchase the item, and if you Buy It Now (BIN) you will get all the bids back which you used trying. That’s a Win-Win!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Bidding On a Budget at DealDash

When you are bidding at DealDash, you need to keep one thing in mind, and that is your budget. There are few things you need to keep in order when you are bidding at Americas favorite Penny Auction Site, and that is what is it costing you?

This is really important because if you spend too much you may find yourself dissatisfied with the DealDash experience. Here are a few tips I can give you to help you bid smart on a budget.

First, decide what your budget is. Let’s say it’s 1000 bids, that costs apron. $140 dollars. Now decide what you want to win. Let DealDash tell you when your favorite item is going on the market. You do this by using your “Alert Me” tab, all you need to do is find the item you want to win in you search bar, once you do, you click the Alert Me tab and DealDash will let you know by email when it’s coming on the market. They also let you know when it’s coming on the market in a few minutes, this is my favorite time. I love to jump into an auction really early and try to win it for a few pennies. Over my nearly three years at DealDash, I’ve learned to back off when I need to. This is probably the most difficult skill to learn….to just back off, yep, lose the auction. I do it all the time, I don’t want to get into a bidding war with someone who might have 100’s of bid to bid in this auction, when the truth is I only want to use 50.

You can guess with great certainty that anyone claiming to be a “grandparent” most likely will overbid, they don’t care how much they spend on the little darlings. You can also plan on the guy who says “I’m a photographer” to bid until the cows come home on the camera you’ve been trying to win for some time. My experience with that is to bid until you win it. You can over come these players, but you must be willing to use a ton of bids. Maybe in the thousands for an item like a coveted Stand Mixer in the unusual color of Aqua. The Silver one is easier to win, but everyone wants the Aqua one.

Try to win the odd item out. If you can only win the item once, try to win that first, the next guy may have already won it. There are a lot of items on the DealDash site that will bring you great joy, j=you just need to know when to bid and who to bid against . This is a pretty easy thing to figure out, all you need to do is bid, bid bid.

Don’t spend a fortune on bids if you don’t have a fortune to bid. Get to know who is willing to overbid, and who might beat you just for spite. You will learn these players fast and furious.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Brag About Your Wins from DealDash

So, you’ve been bidding at DealDash for a while now. There you’ve been able to win items for a fraction of the cost, possibly 99% off or even more. Many, many players win auctions for only pennies every day. You can too.

When you win at DealDash, if you “brag” about your wins on the DealDash Facebook Page, you will be rewarded for your wins. If you brag on your own Facebook Page, you’re friends will thank you.

I have a few friend who have joined DealDash and they are so happy. They win all the time. There is no way of knowing if you will win an item, but at Dealdash, you can buy the item and get all the bids you used trying.

Your friends will let you know what a great deal you got when you tell them you won the iPad for about $50. I see that happen all the time. To tell the truth, I’m still trying to win an iPad, but I know I will. I have won most of the major prizes at DealDash. I won the coveted Massage Chair with only 78 bids!

I have won the 4K TV for $8, I’ve won a hot tub, a clothes washer, and many other great appliances. I’m still trying to win a few of the coveted prizes. There is always something new at DealDash and I know tomorrow there will be a prize I can’t wait to win.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Play Fair, It Helps You Win at DealDash

There are plenty of bidding styles at DealDash, but the game players despise the most is when someone doesn’t play fair. It takes some time to get to know who does it, and new players join everyday, but you can figure out which players to simply stay away from. They win a lot, but they spend a lot too.

You don’t wan to get into a boxing match with someone, by that I mean a stomper festival. You stomp, the other guy stomps, and then you stomp again, he stomps again, and no one else is getting in any bids through Bid Buddy because of the stomper fest going on. You and that other guy suddenly have over 50 bids used, and every one who wasn’t stomping only has 5 used. It’s a waste of bids and just not fair. The biggest travesty with Stomping is you are losing the opportunity to earn free bids for your Time As High Bidder. Plus, you most likely won’t win, the player using the Bid Buddy will come out victorious. So, this one is simple, if you don’t stomp, the other players probably won’t either.

Your Time As High Bidder (TAHB) is a huge gift from DealDash and it basically rewards good behavior with free bids, for example, if you use the Bid Buddy, you bid when it’s your turn, and if everyone else does it too, everyone gets 10 seconds toward the next level. When you reach your next level you will receive the free bids, if you stomp, you don’t get the time and therefore, no free bids. You also stomp other peoples free bids and that really hurts other players. So, if you are known as a Stomper, you are winning less bids and losing more auctions, If you let everyone have their free bids, they might let you win this time.

I let people who play fair win all the time, you have to. It comes back to you. You have to get to know the players to know who might back down eventually. Then there is “backing down”, if you do this for players, they will do it for you. I’ve been able to win more auctions by letting others win. You can’t do this with all players, but there are a good number of givers.

Some of the best players are the Seasoned Pros, they have been playing a long time, they have accumulated hundreds of prizes and thousands of free bids, they’ve been around, and they come in two forms, one is a never give up, a start from the beginning strategy that uses a lot of bids. Others have the Jumper gene. The Jumper will come in very late and use few bids to try to win. This activity is not rewarded. If you are a jumper, it’s plain and simple you will be jumped, and that won’t help you win any auctions. If you don’t want to be jumped, don’t jump. That’s fair!

These are a few suggestions to help you win more auctions, good behavior at DealDash is often rewarded, if you play the game too hard, you may not win as many auctions. So, play fair, win more!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
