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!!!

Know the DealDash Language

DealDash has a language all it’s own, and knowing what the difference between a jumper and a stomper is helpful, especially in understanding your fellow player. Here is a list of the basic lingo of DealDash.

Auctions- An auction is why you come to DealDash, there is a pay to shop/play system where you buy bids and play the auction to win great everyday items for very low prices. The home page at DealDash displays all the auctions available for bidding or purchase.

Auctions, Individual- Each auction has its own page where the stats of the auction are available. For example: how many players, who they are, and their comment.

Banner-The banner at the top of the home page is where you will find the current cost of bids and the details of the latest sale. Often, 50% Off Final Price, Free Auction Wins, and a Free Bid Multiplier. Check the banner daily, it changes very early in the morning.

Bidding- The act of placing bids in a auction for real, everyday items, like computers, housewares, clothing, jewelry and art.

Bids- Bids are the currency of the site, you need them to bid and win your prizes. They range in price between .12 to .16 cents and you can see the cost on the banner. Purchase bids to join auctions.

Bid Count Meter-This displays your available bids. When you have bids on your Bid Buddy, the bids are subtracted from this total. There are two bid count meters one on the top, right hand side of the page and one on the bottom left.

Buy Bid Tabs-There are three, one is on the top of the auctions page right next to your bid count meter, one is at the bottom on the left of the auctions page, it looks like a little credit card, and there is one in your dashboard list of tabs.

Buy It Now (BIN)- Also referred to as “Binning”. At any time during an auction you can opt out and purchase the item at the regular retail price. When you do, the DealDash promise is to give you all the bids back that you used trying to win it. When you make your purchase from the “Buy It Now” tab, the used bids will be immediately deposited into your Bid Count Meter.

Bid Buddy- The most reliable tool at Deal Dash, it is the best way to set up a pre -determined amount of bids to be placed for you in the order you joined the auction. If there are 7 players using Bid Buddy, it will place a bid for you every 7th turn, the only thing between you and the other players is the number of bids you place. The one who places the last bid is the winner.

Dashboard-Your dashboard is essential to keeping track of all your plays, wins and purchases. There is a comprehensive list of the items you are bidding on currently and how many bids you have placed. This is where you find all your information, public profile, bids placed, account information. You will find your dashboard on the top and bottom of the page.

Deal Dasher- One who plays, shops and saves at Deal Dash.

Final Price- When an auction ends the number of bids placed by all players determines the final price. If 4945 total bids are placed the final price is $49.45.

Free Bid Meter-“Time as highest bidder” is determined by the number of bids you place times about 9 seconds for each bid. The meter ticks up your time and when you’ve reached the appropriate number of bids for your current level you are rewarded with free bids. Each level increases the number of bids you claim, for example if you are at level 79 you will claim 1000 bids and it goes up with each level of play you achieve.

Jumping-A player who places a bid before the $5 cut off and then leaves the auction only to return later and jump in. Get to know who does this and wait until they jump in. Jumper- One who jumps

Public Profile- You may have a comment displayed under your Avatar, which you can edit it from your Public Profile tab located on the left hand side of your Dashboard. All comments are approved by Deal Dash staff and have guidelines that include, among other things, not being threatening or misleading with your statement. It’s meant to give some personality to your Avatar. Auctions can be won and lost with these comments, pay close attention. Lately, there has been a trend to talk to each other through the comment by creating a continuous story. Feel free to join in!

Stomping-Stomping plain and simple is the worst offense of a Deal Dasher. It is a reckless and thoughtless storm of bids being throw into an auction. This rapid-fire bidding is an attempt to scare everyone away and as a result win the auction. Stomper- One who stomps Stompers become obsolete because in the long run, this activity is unsustainable.

User Name-The name everyone sees when you are playing Deal Dash, you’ll want this to be creative and expressive. Some people use their actual name or a combination of letters and numbers.

Winner’s list-A real-time list of all the wins, a picture of the item with a description, who won it and what they paid for it. It also displays the winners Avatar. The winners list is a great place to do research. You can see what final prices are trending to estimate where the next auction may end.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

DealDash: Average Selling Price of Small Appliances

There are a few items at DealDash that sell for a low closing price and you can get one or more of these small appliances if you play your bids right.

Here are a few tips when considering an item under $200. The first thing you want to do is NOT overbid. If you can avoid it at all don’t overbid, it distracts from winning for a few pennies. When you are a new player at DealDash you may be tempted to overbid on a small appliance, but I can tell you that they sell often for just a few pennies, so why not let that be you!

Here are few average selling prices of auctions which I have won, they are simple and require only a few bids, but you can’t get caught up in a bidding war over an item that should take only 50 bids. don’t let yourself get into one of these battles because you simply don’t have to, you can without a doubt win a toaster with just a few bids. It may take a few tries, and you have to have patience, but it can happen. If you are willing to purchase the item you can BIN the amount of bids, but this article is about winning with just a few bids.

microwave 113 bids and $20.15

toaster 60 bids and $1.20

electric coffee pot 24 bids and .65 cents

can opener 12 bids and $1.12

These are just a few of the great deals I have found at DealDash, but I’ve won many more. I love to give the items I win at DealDash to my family and friends and they are alway so surprised at how little the items cost me. Now when I have a gift or an item I give away, they always want to know, “how little did you pay for this?” That’s funny, but the truth is you can’t win them all, so for every item I win I may lose up to 9 more. that is about a 10% win rate. I’m ok with that considering many of my auction I only pop in one bid to come back later, and well, maybe I won’t.

There are many, many items you can win with just a few bids and small appliances are among the greatest of prizes to win easy. If you get into a battle with someone for a small appliance and they just won’t quit, I suggest YOU quit, and go for the next one, if there is one on the market in 10 minutes, I’ve seen it go for less than the one I’m “involved” with . It happens all the time.

Don’t underestimate the power of the “next auction” DealDash has new items on the market every minute of every day, there is always the next one, there is always one that is easier to win. Don ‘t get hung up on one auction, there is a vast number of auctions waiting for you around the clock.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
