The Social Scene at DealDash

So, you’ve been poking around the DealDash site for sometime, and you’re branching out for information to help you win.  There is a lot of information you could find on the internet.  I started just searching the web, but what I found was these aren’t people who know the site.  I vowed to make my own decisions about bidding at DealDash, and I found the DealDash blogs to be the most helpful.  There are some really good tips and that’s like money in the bank!

As well, the Social Scene at DealDash is alive and well, and on the DealDash Facebook page you can see actual players who’ve really won prizes!   There, players share what they won and how much they paid for it.  You can see their smiles and track wins of other players.  It’s an anonymous system, what ever your name is on Facebook is what the players see.  No ones username is revealed…..that is, unless you want to.

DealDash even rewards players with free bids for sharing photos of their wins.  All you need to do to claim the free bids is to snap a photo of you with your win, you can post up to once a week and earn up to 350 bids for your photo.  The number of free bids is determined by the retail value of the prize you won.   If your win is less than $99, you will receive 30 free bids,  $99-$198 is 225 free bids, and $199 and up you will receive 350 free bids.  One player a week will also win 1000 for the “Best Photo of the Week” contest.  Each Monday they post the win on the Facebook page.  They also post it on the DealDash main page, where you’ll find it at the bottom of the page listed with the blogs.

Make the picture entertaining, they really like a “bust” type shot with the item front and center.  It helps if you smile!  They also like it when you have the item in use.  Take a clear, non-blurry picture.  Try not to use a flash if possible.  If your item is really big, try to get the whole item in the photo from a distance.

Here is a great example of what makes a winning photo.

The Facebook Page is a fun place to see other people, but DealDash also uses the page to place articles about current events, or to talk about the brands they carry.  A place to get inspirational quotes and find human interest stories.  DealDashes Facebook page has real-time reviews by everyday players.  Where you can share your winning experience or voice any concerns and see real-time solutions.  DealDash reaches out to many players daily who comment and it’s a truly interactive experience.

Go to the DealDash Facebook page and “like” it!  Join the fun and post your wins for free bids!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

DealDash: It’s Tailgate Season!

I absolutely  love this time of year in New England, the Autumn is cool and crisp, there is so much to do outdoors, and one of my favorite activities is Tailgating!  If I don’t go to the football stadium, I just host the football party.  DealDash has  great items to help serve up the greatest of events either way.

You can’t even pack the car without packing the cooler first and DealDash has a couple of coolers and you can usually find one on sale at least once a week.  They are popular items, and a lot of fun to try and win.  I’ve won one, but there is a new Aluminum one that I’m really interested in, go in and check it out!

Every Football party has to have burgers or sliders.  You need the BBQ chicken and veggie skewers.  It’s all good when you win a grill from DealDash, I’ve won a grill a few times always under $10, my family loves them!  They are small, but are perfect for packing in the car.

There are slow cookers to put the beans in and you can even make a baked ziti, it just depends on how warm or cold it is outdoors.  I love to bring on the comfort food when it’s chilly.  If it’s warm, I’m beans and cole slaw all the way!

DealDash has recognized how popular these items are and have offered a great deal by offering the grill nearly everyday.  The coolers vary in offerings.  This is why planning at DealDash is so important.  You need to shop more than you bid.  Always bookmark your favorite items, and be sure to hit the “Alert Me” tab in the individual auction or when you search an item that may not be on the market yet.

Each time you place an item in the “Alert Me” tab you increase your chances of winning.  I have won so many items over my nearly three years by simply showing up at the auction before anyone else and using Bid Buddy.

They also have the necessary portable picnic table, this item goes on the market about once a month, so you really need to plan for this one too.  Planning is important at DealDash, but having fun is too, so keep your eye on the ball, literally a football, they are much easier to win and come on the market frequently.  They carry a nice variety of sport balls and I see them go for pennies all the time.

So, when you’re planning to go to a Football Tailgate party, don’t forget to see what cool and interesting items you can find to help you throw the best party in the lot!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

What is Customer Service at DealDash?

If you are wondering if Customer Service is real at DealDash, I can tell you that it is real, alive and well.  The CS support team at DealDash is the best I’ve ever dealt with on the internet.

Very often, when you don’t actually have to talk to someone in the customer service department, they don’t seem to have the same respect or care about your issue.  But, at DealDash, every customer is treated like someone special.  You are what makes the site real.

There are a few ways you can contact Customer Service at DealDash, The quickest and most efficient way is by clicking on the “Contact Support” on the bottom of the main page.  When you do that it will bring you to a link where you can either email support, or the quickest way is by hitting the “online support” this will bring you to a live CS rep and they will do everything they can to help you.

If they can’t or don’t have the authority to fix your problem, they will direct the issue to the proper person.  Any of the Customer Support Representatives at DealDash are kind, helpful and very efficient.

You simply don’t find this everywhere.  I feel like if I am a customer I want to be treated like a customer and not just a number.  I used to have a lot of issues when I first started at DealDash, I blamed DD for every little mistake I made, and they handled every issue with respect and imminency.  They always answered me right away and with kindness.

Lately, I don’t have any complaints because I’ve come to learn that my mistakes are my mistakes.  The DealDash site just does not make any mistakes.  Well, once they had some connection-server issues and they gave me a pile of bid to apologize.  They are very generous, they always think how this could affect us continuing to use the Dealdash site.

They want us back and they will do what is right to fix anything that might come up.  That being said, I never find a problem with the site.

DealDash cares about their customers, they want us to have a wonderful winning experience and they are always there to help.

Don’t underestimate the value of good Customer Service, you will always find it at DealDash!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Tips For Smart Bidding at DealDash

At times we can get a little carried away bidding at our favorite penny auction site, DealDash, it happens to even the best and most seasoned player, but I have a few rules I give myself to avoid using too many bids.

Often I will bid on an item just to exchange for the bids, I have gotten too emotionally involved with these auctions, like I really want the item, but the truth is, I don’t want it, I just want the bids.  So, I avoid getting emotionally involved with this type of auction.  To do that, you have to set limits for yourself, if you decide to use only 25 bids to try to win this $150 item, stick to that.  If you didn’t win the item by then, you’re not getting the deal you want, and what do you do with a bad deal? Walk.

What about an item you really want?  Well you can get emotional about that because you have the power of BIN.  If you don’t win it for the right amount of bids, you purchase the items and get all your bids back.  At least you have your item, and you also have free bids you didn’t have to pay for.  Those bids, although free, have real value at DealDash, so if you used 1000 bids on an items and then purchased the item for bids back, you were just handed 1000 free bids, those bids can be placed on an item you really want and you may over bid with those bids, keep retail in mind if you do this, you don’t want to pay more than retail for the item, that’s foolish, the best time to do this is when the item is being offered during a free sale, where all wins are paid for by DealDash. 

Next, bid only on items you really want or have someone in mind to give it too.  If you know your niece will enjoy this lovely necklace for the holidays, then win it.  But if you don’t even know who you’re going to give this item to, don’t try to win it.  IF you get caught up in an auction such as this, you can always exchange for bids.

Pick and choose your times to bid.  Don’t bid when the site is too busy, you can tell this by looking at the number of Avatars in all the auctions.  Go into any auction, start with the $50 items, move up to $100, then $150, then $500….you get it, see how many people are in the auctions by counting the number of Avatars.  I can just look at the group and tell how many players there are, and you will be able to do this eventually too, but in the beginning, the number of players significantly affects your odds and the counting makes you familiar with the group as a whole. Mostly, it’s Saturday and sometimes Friday night.  Also, for some reason Monday is a crazy busy day.

Well, if the site isn’t busy right now, you’ll see me there, otherwise, I’m watching.  You can learn a lot when you watch during busy times, for one, you will see who bids on a lot of items at once.  Who has perseverance, most players come and go during the day, some are there all the time, get to know the difference, that will help you save bids.

My best tidbit of information is just don’t get too emotionally involved in an auction, if you lose it, buy it, if you don’t want to buy it, let it go.  You had a lot of fun trying to win it, and if you didn’t win it. Oh well.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding
