Bid, Shop, Bid- Planning your Wins

You’ve come to DealDash because you’ve heard about all the good deals players are winning everyday. These wins don’t always just fall in your lap, you have to plan to win. This is so true, DealDash is the most fun you’ll have shopping ever, but many every day items are limited, so it’s a real treat when they come on the market.

There are many items that are on the site everyday, and the most popular of these is the large selection of home decorations, like art and furniture. You will always see a Stand Mixer, a massage chair and lately, a lot of TVs. Ahhh, but the toaster is a treat. Winning your Microwave will take some planning as well. These types of everyday items are also popular, so always plan to BIN, that makes the win so much more sweet.

The best thing to do to get started planning is to actually shop. Type the name of an item in the search bar, for example, “toaster” you will see any toasters that might be on the market now plus all of the toasters scheduled, and any planned scheduled toasters for the future.

DealDash offers an “Alert Me” option in every auction, this is so convenient because you’ve done your shopping, you’ve selected your “Alert Me” tab and now you wait for DealDash to send you an email. The first notice will come about three days before the auction starts. This is a perfect time to check and see when bids are priced lowest this week. Then you buy your lowest priced bids, and wait for your auction to start.

DealDash will get another notice the day of the auction and when the auction is about to start, all you have to do is show up. Now, load up those low priced bids and hope for the win. The fireworks are the best!

Always plan on using the BIN amount of bids, even though most auctions end far below the retail value. To figure the BIN price divide the retail value of the item by the cost of bids and you will have the maximum number of bids to use before you purchase the item. When you bid on items you want or need, you will have more success in the auctions, and then buying the item also makes sense.

So, always do your shopping in advance. If you come to DealDash and bid on items randomly, you will end up with a bunch of things you don’t know what to do with. If you keep your holiday list in mind that will maximize the number of items that “makes sense”. A lot of players, myself included, have their holiday shopping done by the end of September every year. This could be you.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Buy It Now, BIN & Binning at DealDash

So you love to bid, bid, bid! It’s fun and exciting especially when you win! The fireworks are awesome! But if you don’t win at DealDash you can Buy It Now (BIN) and DealDash will give you all the bids you used trying back to try and win another item.

You can purchase an item you’ve bid on for up to one week after you don’t win it. If you go to your Dashboard, you will find a list of all your items right on the front page. You can also find the item in your bidding history, both places will tell you how many bids will be returned to your account if your BIN. It’s simple, make the purchase and the bids are automatically loaded into your account.

The way to figure out how many bids to use before you BIN is to take the retail value of the item listed on the DealDash site and divide it by the cost of the bids when you purchase it. That will result in the number of bids to use before you back out and buy it.

For example, you love this toaster, it’s a popular item, but it will still go for a fraction of the retail price, but you want to be sure you give the auction all the benefit of the doubt and load up on the BIN amount of bids. Let’s say the toaster retails for $89.00 and bids are .15 cents each. Your calculation will look like this 89./.15=593 bids.

You don’t want to exceed that number of bids because you would then be paying more than retail. Chances are very good that no one else will place 593 bids on the auction and you will win it for much less, but if you don’t, you have Binning to fall back on.

This is a wonderful gift from DealDash, they really care about the bidding experience on their site, and they really want their players to win. It doesn’t please them to have you go away empty-handed, you have to win or BIN. Either way, you have your item! If you bought it you have your bids back too! Win-Win!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Now that you’re in love with entertainment shopping, you can share your enthusiasm with other players using social media, and for doing that DealDash will reward you with free bids!

The DealDash Facebook Page is a comprehensive, real-time site where you can enjoy seeing other players wins and fun commentary from the DealDash Community. There is an outstanding staff at DealDash who lovingly care for their social media pages. There you will find information about up coming sales and current events.

They think of everyone and comment on holidays and American celebrations. You can see comments and reviews from other players and place comments yourself. DealDash loves to hear about your wins! They also love to hear about your experiences.

There are a couple of ways to find DealDash on Facebook, they also have a “Reviews, Tips and Strategies Page & DealDash Secrets Page, here you will learn about other players experiences, DealDash Sales, DealDash Representative Articles, Current Events, and any one’s experience from DealDash.

Once you “Like” the DealDash Facebook Page, DealDash will “Like” you too. Then you will see many of the DealDash postings, but they don’t bomb your FB site at all. It’s all within an acceptable level of contact. When you are connected to DealDash though Social Media and you have an active DealDash Account you become eligible for their Photo of the Week Contest which could show up on any of their social media formats.

DealDash also uses Pinterest and Twitter. But what you need to do to enter the contest is take a photo of you and your prize, keep it simple, a “bust” of yourself with the item by your smiling face. Tip: That’s DealDash’s favorite photo for wins.

Then email the photo to [email protected], send it as an attachment and include a comment like, “I won this $225 PingPong Ball Table for $8.95 plus 100 bids, I saved 95% and it was shipped free! Thanks DealDash!’ That is a very boiled down comment. Get creative, make your comment stand out, Deal Dash will notice.

The Pinterest and twitter are also a way to connect with other DealDash players, but there isn’t much action that goes on there. I like to post my wins to my Pinterest page, but it’s just for me, not really connected to DealDash, the truth is, I love DealDash and it has brought so many quality items to my home that I would never have gone out to buy, but since I won it, I love it! Like, my Hot Tub, Metal Detector, , Mountain Bike, Racing Bike, countless Handmade Clocks, over a dozen appliances, and many handbags. That is just a sampling of what I win all the time at DealDash.

What you need to do is get your smiling face out there to DealDash, they want to show it off and give you 1000 bids for doing it. Just for submitting the photo DealDash will give you up to 350 bids, then you are entered in the contest for Photo of the Week.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Creature Comforts- Pet Items at DealDash

Our pets are our family, most people who have pets consider them their children, and DealDash recognizes that with a couple of items to spoil them. You can find fun and convenient supplies for your pet at DealDash and have fun while you’re doing it.

Pet items are very popular at DealDash, so I would suggest you choose the item you really want for your pet and focus on that. One of the nicest things at DealDash is that you can shop in advance of the auctions and set an “Alert Me” for items that are scheduled to come on the market. This convenient feature lets you shop in advance either by flipping through the pages, or by using the search bar and category tabs. Once you’ve identified an item you would like to win, simply click on the Alert Me Tab and DealDash will send you an email a couple of days before it comes on the market, and then the day before and one last email when it’s about to go live, you shouldn’t miss it with these reminders. Usually, “the day of” I will set an alarm of my own and go to the computer when it’s time.

One of my favorite pet items from DealDash is the GPS pet tracker to attach to your pet and cell phone, if your pet goes missing, you will be on its trail in no time. It’s one of those special items that is rare and only comes on the market once in awhile.

They also carry a nice variety of pet beds everyday. If you have a tiny pup or a big guy, you can find the right bed for you pal at DealDash. I’ve won a couple of pet beds, they should be easy to win. I wouldn’t get into a bidding war with someone like a Stomper because there is always the next one and it makes better sense to wait for it to win smarter. I’ve noticed that if there are two of the same items on the market at the same time often the one that came on second goes for considerably less than the first one, probably because two or more people got into a bidding war and no on will give up, meanwhile, someone else won it for .68 cents! You have to keep your eye open!

If you are looking to spoil your pet with a great win at DealDash, look for the comfy beds, they are very often easy to win and your pet will love you!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
