DealDash: Half a Dozen Prizes in Six Hours

It’s true!  It’s so easy to win at DealDash and with the No Limit on Wins, you can win as much as you want. Plus, DealDash features different sales throughout the week and this past week during a All Wins Free event, I won six prizes for only one penny each.   The way the free event works is you bid along with all the other players and the price of the item goes up one penny at a time until the last bid is placed, but no matter what the closing price, you pay only a one penny transaction fee, DealDash picks up the rest!

Bidding during the Free events can be a little tricky.  First, the site is definitely busier when all wins are free.  Everyone wants to win for one cent, let’s face it, it’s fun!  What I try to do is stay focused on the smaller items that are generally easier to win on any given day.  These are items similar to small jewelry, simple camping gear, like a lantern, small lamps, fashion items like a purse or some perfume.  These all make great gifts and I have won everything on that list with just a few bids.

During a free event you may encounter a lot of people who will come back into an auction after many players have 100’s of bids in….that is if they get a chance.  The risk involved with doing that is the auction may end while you are off bidding in another auction.  The following list of wins each cost me only one penny and a few bids, if I had dropped one bid and left, I wouldn’t have won them.  Basically, my strategy is to simply back out completely if I don’t win the item with the minimum number of bids, which I like to predetermine.  I make an estimate of how few bids I can win an item with and I try to stick to it. At times you may need to add more, especially if the auction is down to you and one other player, that’s when you hang on.

For a total of 318 bids I won these great prizes.

Small Table Clock $350- 49 bids

18K GP Crystal Ring $150- 6 bids

Hand Glazed Vase $225- 90 bids

Wool Ball Cap $85- 64 bids

Wool Beanie Hat $45- 5 bids

King Size Comforter $120- 104 bids

Nearly $1000 dollars worth of prizes won in less than six hours all during a free event and I paid about $45 for everything.  I do it by staying involved with an auction, sticking to one item at a time, and keeping to my limit on bids.  Most items on DealDash come up for sale several times during a day, so for that reason, always know, there is another on right around the corner.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Jumpers and Stompers at DealDash

So, you’ve been bidding at DealDash for awhile and you’ve noticed two different bidding styles that may annoy you somewhat, Jumping and Stomping.  What I can tell you is, even though it may not be nice, it’s not illegal. There are a dozen or so players at DealDash who jump and more that stomp, but they can be beat!

First let’s define these acts, Jumping is pretty common, especially on the higher retail items.  As you may have noticed DealDash has a “No Jumper” limit of $5, this means that no new players can join the auction after the $5 mark.  A jumper will place one to a dozen bids very early in the auction and then disappear for the next 1000 bids or so.  Now the auction is at $10.00 and they come back and try to out bid you because you’ve used 300 bids or more and now they feel you’ve exhausted your quota for the item, so they’ve come in to steal the item.  This back fires so often it’s hilarious when a “jumper” gets his just rewards (losing) for jumping.

The first thing that goes wrong for the jumper is the auction ends under $5, this happens more than not, but the average jumper will continue to take that chance.  I’ve jumped the jumper, that’s how I handle it. By jumping the jumper, I too, run the risk of losing because I dropped out.  This activity is common among the seasoned pro or when price doesn’t matter and sometimes both.  Some players just have buckets of money, you have to outsmart them, and believe me, they make mistakes, I’ve beaten them all and you will too. The other problem for the jumper is they actually don’t have very many bids so they wait and wait and hope no one wins.  Then they come back and use only 50-100 bids, not the 1000 like others do. They can be beat as well.

The Stomper is another breed of player, usually a new player who doesn’t understand the value of the Bid Buddy.  Your Bid Buddy is the best way to win an auction, it’s an automatic bidding system provided by DealDash.  When you stomp, you generally don’t plan when the bids are being placed, many will bid after every single other bid, this uses bids up exponentially and doesn’t win more auctions.  Often, the problems the stomper will encounter is other players who will stomp them back.  I don’t like to waste bids doing it, but others will just to “teach them a lesson”.  Hey, it is a competition, and as I said, it’s not illegal. It’s just not nice.

The Stomper is easily beat, they usually run out of bids very early in an auction, they use them up so quickly that when their bids are gone….they are gone.  Stomping is not a sustainable system of bidding and most people will finally give in to use the Bid Buddy.  There are however, several players who have been around for a long time who stomp.  Their strategy is to frighten players away from the auction, because if they stomp, you may lose the free bids DealDash gives you for your Time As High Bidder (TAHB). Your  TAHB is time rewarded in the form of free buds by DealDash for bidding.  For every second you are the highest bidder of the auction, you earn free bids, these bids are given when you reach your next level.

So, now you know about Jumpers and Stompers, not illegal, but not nice. In turn, I hope I’ve encouraged you to use your Bid Buddy, it’s really the best way to win auctions and earn free bids.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Spreading Yourself Too Thin at DealDash

Ok, why is it so important not to spread yourself too thin then you are bidding at DealDash? Because you want to win auctions!  One thing we can all hope for is that someone else spreads themselves too thin and they make the mistake.  That’s what happens, you lose auctions.

By spreading yourself too thin, I mean, you get involved in too many auctions at once.  There is a great temptation to get involved in a lot of auctions because you never know, you might win one for a few cents.  But you have to pay attention to the items you place just a few bids in.

If you are bidding in a bunch of auctions at once, you must be using your DealDash Bid Buddy, they Bid Buddy needs to be fed, and if you don’t put in enough bids you could run out and lose while you are tending to the other auctions.  If you insist on bidding in a bunch of auctions, it’s best to load up the Bid Buddy with way more bids than you plan on using, and this way if you are tending another auction, you won’t lose this one. You do have to micro manage your auctions like this, you don’t want to intentionally overbid.

In the beginning, I always suggest you bid in just one or two auctions at once, and please, don’t “Stomp”  Stomping is pouncing a bid in manually without regard to your free bids or the free bids of other players.  You can’t win auctions this way.  But, if you stay focused on one or two auction, it is much more manageable.  Tip: More free bids come from using your Bid Buddy, than manually bidding.

If you don’t have a lot of bids and you actually want to win something, keep it simple.  That means, just bid on the items that are under $200, they tend to close much quicker than other high valued auctions.  As well, stick to the one auction, so you can micro manage it.

Micro managing is watching the auction close even if you are using Bid Buddy, and for me it means I will leave the auction if, 1. too many people join, and then go back later, or 2. I only have a few bids and I don’t think I’ll win with them.  If you do number one, don’t forget to watch the auction closely, you want to know if it gets down to two people.

Tip: Just because there are only two players, that doesn’t necessarily mean the auction is going to end soon, so pay attention, get involved and use your Bid Buddy!

So, when you’re bidding at DealDash resist the temptation to bid in more than a few auctions at once, your bids will last longer and you will win more auctions.  Make sure you micro manage your auction to conserve bids.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

DealDash: Stompers Do Not Win

Are you wondering what a “Stomper” is? If you are, you may be one!  There is a group of players at DealDash who “stomp” bids, and for no other apparent reason, they think they will win auctions that way.

There are a couple of reasons why people “stomp”. The main reason is they are a Newbie, the Newbie has no idea what opportunities they are losing by stomping each other bid.  First, they are overbidding.  They are spending 5 to ten times more bids to win than any other player.  They are also raising the price of the item by extending the final cost higher than it would have ended if it were just players using Bid Buddy.

Sadly, for the stomper, they are losing all those free bids for Time As High Bidder(TAHB).  DealDash offers free bids to every player every day just for bidding, but it’s based on how long your bid is out there.  If you stomp, you will be stomped back and that short bid for TAHB earns much less free bids.

Stomping is unsustainable, you can’t just keep stomping because you will soon be out of bids.  Then you’ll have to buy more and you’re in a vicious cycle, you stomp, you don’t get free bids, you pay more for items, you don’t win more often, you get stomped back, and you buy more bids.  This is not a pleasurable experience.  Using the Bid Buddy makes the experience so much more than just bidding.  You have to outwit the other players.  There is a strategy to playing, and stomping is not a reasonable part of it.

The other stomper is the seasoned player, they are doing to try to scare people away and to be mean.  It’s not fair play as stomping spoils the game.  But the “old timer” stomper gets theirs too.  Usually a newbie won’t be scared away, and they will just stomp back, that creates some hostility between the bidders and they just stomp each other.  Tip: Sometimes I just put in a dozen bids during this frenzy and sit back and watch, because the one who wins will most likely be someone using their Bid Buddy.

So, if you think you might be a stomper and didn’t realize how much opportunity you were missing out on, or if you are a seasoned player stomping up a storm, just remember, Bid Buddy usually prevails!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
