Shopping With a DealDash of Entertainment

If you’ve tried DealDash you know that this is the most fun you’ll ever have shopping, but if you’re new to the game, it’s ok, it’s more than just shopping, it’s entertainment shopping at its finest! Don’t be afraid to get in there and bid on everyday items. If you need an item DealDash has for bidding, why not try to get a great deal while having fun doing it? No reason at all, just do it!

Go Shopping first, set your sites on some of the amazing deals you would like to win and bookmark them. You can do this a couple of ways, first, click the star in the upper right hand corner or place a bid in the auction, that is another way to do it. The item will then stay on the top of your DealDash front page, then wait until the item comes on the market and bid!

Some people might call it flat-out-gambling, but with gambling you don’t have anything to show for it in the end and a casino won’t let you buy a deck of cards and get your money back. This is shopping because if you don’t win it you can buy the item (called Binning) and get all your bids back. So you only take chances if you don’t plan on buying the item, that’s why I suggest, especially in the beginning, you bid on items you really need. Once you feel more comfortable bidding, you can branch out to larger ticket items. The journey is half the fun, but really winning is the best.

When you win a prize at DealDash a splash of fireworks lights up on your screen announcing “Congratulations!” You won…..item description!! I have won so many prizes with just a few bids, it’s crazy fun! You might wonder how DealDash makes any money, well they do make a living by selling bids, the site currency, and by selling items for the retail price. They offer great deals on bids everyday and carry exceptional products.

The quality of the products at DealDash is the best on the market, and for items like a toaster, coffee pot and many other everyday items they are actually the same products you will find at the mall, only you don’t have to get in your car, and any time I can get a great deal and avoid the traffic, I’m in and DealDash has filled the bill!

Not only that, I used to dread Christmas shopping, no time, no real deals always waiting to the last minute, but now that I shop at DealDash, I am done with my Christmas Shopping by October. Tip: Although you can get items right up until the last moment with DealDash, don’t wait until October to start you holiday shopping, it’s too close and you may waste bids in desperation. You want to get the deal, and you can do it at your own time all year long. It’s so nice to enjoy the holidays knowing my shopping is done. , Another great deal at DealDash is they ship every item free, so you’ll never pay a dime for gift delivery!

You can feel good about shopping and spending a lot of time at DealDash, you are getting your items and having fun doing it. Never underestimate the BIN (buy it now) it gives you your item and the bids used back. No casino does that! Deal Dash IS Entertainment Shopping at the finest level on the internet!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

The Clean Machines at DealDash

You may not think to go to DealDash first for your cleaning machines, but they have such a great variety of cleaning devices, I thought I would highlight a few of my favorites, give some comparisons and talk about retail pricing. This is a very popular category at DealDash, it seems everyone wants a new vacuum or a pressure washer.

O'Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop & Bucket $41 — O’Cedar Easy Wring Spin Mop & Bucket $41

I am one of those people, I love to shop in this category, between my home and the home of my two adult children, we have a lot of cleaning to do. My favorite win in the “cleaning machine” category is an unbelievable, awesome mop, believe it or not. I love this mop! I will never touch a mop-head again, I’ve had this one for a couple of years now and it’s still like brand new. If ever I needed to replace it, I would go straight to DealDash and win another one. I paid about .45 cents for my first one! I call this a “machine” because it has a spinning feature where you don’t have to touch the mop-head, it spins the water out, you dip in the bucket and then step on the pedal and spin, it’s great because you can use really hot water too! If you don’t like moping the floor, and who does? You need this mop.

Moving on, let’s talk about the elephant in the room, the item I haven’t won. I haven’t really tried very hard, but I have tried a couple of times to win this Panasonic Canister Vacuum, I’ve had a similar vacuum in the past and after a few upright canister vacuums, I’d like to try this style again. I like the idea of having a bag to catch the dust. I also like that you only have to push around the wand and not the entire canister. For those reasons I highlight the canister vacuum as my favorite vacuum choice at DealDash.

karcher k 2.26M+T50 184 — Karcher k 2.26M+T50 $184

For outdoor cleaning the deck, your driveway and your car, this lightweight Karcher K2.26M + T50, with wand and 5 attachments makes your outdoor cleaning easier. This is an item on my wish list, but I haven’t gone for it yet. I’m waiting for just the right moment, defined by who is in the auction, what type of sale DealDash is offering at the time and often, what day of the week it is. I’ll get it, I usually get everything I’ve set out to get one way or another (win or bin). Deal Dash has a really nice selection of Pressure Washers, this is my favorite “around the house” model, but they carry pressure washers all the way up to an $800 professional model. Simply type “pressure washer” in the search bar, select your favorite and bookmark it by clicking the star in the upper right hand corner of the auction or hitting the “Alert Me tab”. DealDash will send you an email a couple of days before it comes on the market, a day earlier and about an hour or two before it goes live, they don’t want you to miss it. I usually set an alarm clock the day of the auction.

These are just a few of my favorite cleaning machines they carry at Dealdash. Tip: this popular category takes patience and perseverance, don’t get discouraged if you don’t win it the first time around, you will, just keep trying. Since this auction will take time, I usually look for it during a Free Sale, this way I’m in for the long haul and when I win, I pay nothing, DealDash picks up the tab. Yes! they do that all the time!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

The Art of Buy It Now at DealDash

There really is an art to the Buy In Now process, when I first started at DealDash I didn’t put any weight on the process and therefore lost a lot of opportunity. I would bid and bid on the same item over and over until I won it. All those bids…gone and I could have owned it.

First, let’s talk about what “Buy It Now” is. Deal Dash has a policy in place so no player has to go away empty-handed, and it’s the Buy It Now option. It’s also know as “binning” and BIN, but they all mean the same thing, you can get your bids back if you don’t win.

If you are bidding on an item at DealDash and you just can’t win it, you can purchase the item and DealDash will give you all the bids you used to win it back. There is a tab in the auction which you can select and it will take you to the checkout, when your transaction is complete you own the item and you got all your bids back to go for another item. You will no longer be able to win in this auction.

You have a full week after someone else wins the auction you’ve bid in to purchase it for your bids back, you can find the “Buy Now” tab on the first page of your Dashboard. Simply find the item you wish to purchase in the list an click on the “Buy Now” tab and at the time your purchase is complete your bids are deposited into your account.

So, you don’t have to keep trying and trying to win an item you really need, this can be as simple as shopping! Look through the DealDash merchandise. Plan on binning because you need the item. When you plan on binning there is a simple formula to determine when to stop bidding. It is likely you will win the item before the BIN, if fact that is the plan, right? But if you don’t you have the BIN to fall back on. To determine the BIN amount of bids take the value of the item and divide it by the cost of bids, then you will have the number of bids to BIN. You don’t want to exceed that number because you would be paying more than retail price. So, if your item is valued at $50 and bids are .15 cents you would calculate 50/.15=333. 333 is the magic number, don’t exceed this, back out and buy. Get your bids back and move on. You now have your item and 333 bids to go!

This is a great way to purchase gifts, you can select a gift, possibly win it right away and get a great deal, or plan on binning. You can shop on a budget and find great deals at DealDash, always keep in mind you can purchase it and get your bids back. Stay focused on items you really want, this way purchasing it makes sense.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!

Why Buy it Now on DealDash?

What’s this “Buy It” on DealDash you’re wondering and why should you do it?
Really, the question shouldn’t be “Why buy it now?” but “Why not?”.
DealDash’s “Buy it now” option makes this penny auction site one of the most sustainable entertainment auction sites on the web.
Buy it Now is a great feature offered on every single item that DealDash auctions from bid packs to gift cards to swimming pools, colorful Kitchen-Aid mixers, iPads, HDTVs, laptops and more.
Bidders love buy it so much because it allows all bidders to try to win an item they want without losing money.
Take a look, for instance, at this upcoming item for a brand new HP Split 2-in-1 13.3″ touchscreen laptop.
The retail value of the laptop is $849.99, so the buy it price is a $200 clearance discount off of the original price and this little laptop is a powerhouse of features and flexibility, and it’s super lightweight to boot at only 4.4 lbs. So say you plan to bid on this laptop with purchased bids (which by the way, are on sale at only $0.16 a piece right now) and say they don’t win the item and have already spent $600 and the auction ends with someone else as the winner.
You really would feel terrible if you just lost out on the $600 you spent in bids (which really had to have been a lot of bids (3,750 at the sale price of $0.16 to be exact) so what does DealDash do to make losing easier on you?
DealDash lets you buy it now!
If you didn’t win the auction for the new HP ultrabook, if you decide you would like all of the bids you placed back and you really want the laptop, for up to 7 days from the time the auction ends DealDash will let you buy the item and get all of the bids you used bidding back in your account instantly!
DealDash makes it super easy to do too: All you have to do is click “Buy it now” on the item after it’s already ended and pay $650, and you will get ALL of the bids you placed back into your account to try again next time. Most penny auction sites don’t let you do that, you would have just lost $600!
Step 1: Click buy it now, it’s right under the bidding area on the item’s page!
Step 2: Click buy it now on the second screen that pops-up over the item. Pay $650 and your new laptop will be shipped to you free of shipping charges – The ultrabook will be covered with a full manufacturer’s warranty from HP!
Good luck and happy bidding and buying on DealDash!
