Your DealDash Dashboard – A Helpful Tool

Don’t underestimate the power of your Dashboard.  It’s there and holds certain keys to the questions you have.  It’s much more fun to have all your stats in one place than to have nothing at all.  Your Dashboard has the numbers to help you win.

For example, how many bids did you use on a certain item? You can find that information in your “Bidding History”.  Then you can use this information to help you decide what to do in your next auction.  Perhaps you don’t want to use as many bids, or you think you could have used more bids.  You can also see who you did battle with in the list of Avatars in the auction, find out what the final price was, what sale was available at the time, it’s all good information to help you make an educated guess on your next auction.

Your “Won Auction” is a particularly interesting list.  You can see what you’ve won, and if it’s paid for or shipped, and  whether you exchanged it for bids.  Exchanging for bids is an option DealDash offers if you win an item, and based on its popularity, you will get an exchange, they keep the item and give you X amount of bids.  On average it’s about half, but it can be more or less if the items is very popular, it could be 100% bids, so if the item is $1920 dollars you will receive 1920 bids.  If that same item is not as popular, you may get 960 bids.  That’s not the only factor, others are availability and frequency of offer.

Your “Public Profile” is a useful tool, use it to define your game, encourage others, or perhaps send someone way off target from your bidding style.  There are so many clever profile comments, read a bunch and the right one for you will come.  I like to change my comment often, others have had the same comment as long as I’ve been bidding.  Some use only a dot ( . ) or ( / ).  There are quotes by famous people and snarky comments made up by the players.  Make it fun, you will read it over and over as the auction goes on.

Your “Buy It Now” Tab will let you know if you’ve purchased an item and how many bids you received for your purchase.  You can use this information to see previous thresholds for buying the item.  Hopefully, you didn’t over BIN!

Once you’ve won an auction you can find it directly on the top of your open Dashboard, there you can see all the prizes you have open for purchase, this is also where you can do the exchange for bids if you choose. Just click on the “Pay Now” tab and both options are there to, 1. pay for it or 2. exchange it.

Watch your own stats on your Dashboard and learn from your wins and losses.  This is a convenient tool and DealDash wants you to win, so check your Dashboard often, once in awhile you might open it and see you’ve won a prize and didn’t even know it!

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!!!

The Best Deals On DealDash June 10th to 16th

What did you win on DealDash last week? If you are just getting started with penny auctions and haven’t won anything yet, it’s time you get started.  If you are wondering what kind of deals DealDash offers bidders check out the Best Deals on DealDash for June 10th-16th.
 
June 10th: Do you know how rewarding and exciting photography can be? If you are a budding photography who recently bought or won a Nikon dSLR you may be jealous by this sweet deal on a 50mm prime lens – the Nikon Nikkor 50mm f/1.8G AF-S Lens for Nikon DSLR cameras. A prime lens is the choice of many portrait photographers for the crisp clarity and shallow depth of field giving the background a soft glow. This is the same awesome lens that was won by DealDash bidder Bailey1040 on June 10th for just $0.30 – Seriously, 30 cents!?! for a $200 lens? Yup! Even if Bailey1040 were to be the only bidder placing say 30 bids at $0.15 a bid Bailey1040 would have only spent $4.80 total to win this and we know this winner spent way less in bids.

June 12th: Danny916 will be cool this summer thanks in part to this great deal he got on this brand new AC unit – but it’s not so much the price interests me about this auction, take a look at Danny’s bidding status message: 

“Deal dash is an amazing challenge, each bid takes thought, do it, don’t do it, oh h— just do it. DD is large in teaching patience, don’t have any left. Good luck to all of us.” This SPT 12000BTU Portable AC with Heater sells for a buy it now price of $496. Danny916 won it for just $28.33ac
June 13th: On June 13th we see another status message by bidder Tampobn who says before she bids “”Hope that everyone is having a great day…. Please let me time run down and please stop over bidding and stomping, Have my daughters wedding coming up. so looking for gifts for home and yard.” Intimidation? Possibly. She’s stating intent and telling others not to bid against her. Really not something I’d advise to do. She did however win the Nostalgia Retro Series 60-Can Party Cooler Fridge for $18.01:
retro
June 14th: Forful will most likely be baking up more than cookies this summer with her brand new KitchenAid Onyx mixer won for just $13.70 in collective bids and a final, waived end price. Not too shabby considering the KitchenAid has a $450 value!
June 15th: Lenovo ThinkPad Tablet 2 10.1-inch with 64GB Memory, Black Buy it Now price: $700  sold for only $54.01, plus the winner, desdecker didn’t have to pay anything for the end price because DealDaslenovoh slashed the end price this past weekend for Father’s Day! Hope all the dads out there had a chance to check out the auction deals!
June 16th:
bidsfree
Back to intimidating statuses on bidder’s bios: ”

“I check and see how many bids a person has put in. After I look it up . I play fair and nice and back out . Why cant others be as kind??”
Well, the name of the game is DealDash  – you won’t always be able to score a deal if you are always looking for a deal. But this brings us back to our bid on bid packs and stock up point. This $200 bid bid pack was sold for $0.73 on Amazon.
Did you win this past week? If so let us know what you won and what you will do with it!
