Check it out! Best DealDash Wins of 2013.
If you are new to DealDash what would you like to see or win in 2014?
So far today, in this new year, bidders have been getting great deals!
An Official MLB w/ display box just sold with no bids.
Schwinn 26-inch Meridian 3-Wheel Bike ended at $3.23 (323 bids),
a 200 bids bid pack for $0.20,

Philips 2000 Series 39-inch Class LED Smart HDTV $2.41 – that’s just $40 in bids spent by all bidders if all bids purchased were at $0.17 each!

Won by first time winner scottam2. Notice how bidders DebbiChan and jwcharles3 seemed to be consistently bidding against one another? Perhaps because soma21jarra came in and placed a bid then jwcharles3 placed one right after, Debbichan or jwcharles3 expected one or the other to place a bid, neither did and new bidder scottam2 bid and won. Congratulations scottam2! Another possibility could be that jwcharles3 and Debbichan were bidding on autobidder and both ran out of bids? Just speculating.
T-Mobile Nokia Lumia Smartphone $1.96 – that’s only 196 bids, and bids are currently $0.17 a piece for New Year’s – $33 spent by all bidders if they purchased bids at $0.17 each. Some bids could’ve been won with bid pack wins, too. So great deal overall.
There’s even a Toshiba Kirabook 13.3-inch Laptop ($1300 value) that ended for $14.72 lastnight.

DealDash Demystified

New to DealDash and have never heard of penny auctions before?
It’s about time you did. You could be missing out on some great deals!

What Is DealDash?

DealDash.com is a pay-per bid auction, popularly known as a “penny auction.”
DealDash launched in the United States in February of 2009 and is the longest running penny auction site of its kind.
What does it mean to pay-per bid, and what’s a penny auction?
Penny auctions operate a bit differently from traditional online auctions where the last bidder to place a bid wins.
First, all auctions on DealDash start at $0.00 and have no price reserves. Each bid placed raises the auction price by $0.01 and the time on the auction clock by 10 seconds.
To bid you have to first register, next, buy bid credits.

Bids on DealDash.com are $0.60 each, but with the current Christmas Gift Clearance promotion bids are just $0.18 a piece.
Bids must be purchased in bid packs ranging in packages of 200 ($36), 450 ($81), 950 ($171), 1,500 ($270) all the way up to 2,500 ($450).
How do you win an auction?
The object of winning an auction on DealDash is to be the last bidder to bid when the timer hits 0. In other words, there must be no opposing bidders to place a bid after you have.
There’s no telling how many bids you will have to place before you win.
You could win an item with just 1 bid, or 100+ bids.
What’s the catch? There really isn’t one.
Say you’re a photographer and really want to win a new Canon lens, so far you have spent a bunch of money on bids trying to win it, and suddenly you get distracted by something else on the Internet, or your Internet connection mysteriously disconnects, bummer.
You were either already going to purchase the same lens and were just trying to score a deal, or you don’t care that you lost money. If you were wanting to purchase the lens before you started to bid, you’re in luck.

DealDash’s “Buy-it-Now” saves the day!
On DealDash if you don’t win an auction, you can use “Buy it Now” and get all of the bids you placed back for free. You can rest assured that the item is brand new and backed by the manufacturer. Payments are accepted by either credit card or PayPal.

Take a look at a few recent deals scored by DealDash Bidders:

All auction end prices reflect the amount of bids collaboratively received in each item, $0.07 = 7 bids.

What other items can be won?

DealDash auctions include major league baseball memorabilia, digital cameras, surveillance systems, iPads, bid pack auctions, small household kitchen appliances (Keurigs and K-Cup too!), and tools, video games, game systems, gift cards, CDs, water bottles, laundry detergent, seasonal items, kitchen tools, Bose speakers, GPS’s, laptops, iPods, and so much more.
What do you do once you’ve won?
After you win an auction be sure to go to “My dashboard” and your “Won auctions” to pay the final end price for your win. All items are shipped for free within 10 days.
How many items can you win?
You can win 6 products worth $200 or less and 3 valued at over $200 per week. Once you’re logged in there’s an indicator on the top of the site that keeps track of how many items you’ve won for you.
For 1 bid you can see who is at their “win limit.”
All items on DealDash are brand new and come with standard manufacturer warranties.

DealDash has over 2 million registered customers, won’t there be a lot of competition?

DealDash knows that the auctions are competitive, that’s why all auctions are “No Jumper” auctions. This means that after the auction price reaches $5.00, no new bidders can enter and try to win an item.

Why would you really want to even bid on a penny auction site that didn’t have buy it now? Try DealDash.com for yourself, you will see just how risk free it is!

DealDash Fair Auction Guarantee: DealDash guarantees that all bids made are 100% legitimate and that strict third-party audits are performed on the bidding platform to ensure and maintain complete integrity of the auctions. Employees and immediate family members of employees are not permitted to participate in any auctions run by DealDash.
Now that you know how DealDash works register and get ready to win!

Toilet Paper, Tide and Toothbrushes: The Secret to Learning How to Win on DealDash

Are you new to bidding on DealDash auctions and want to know how to win?

The secret? Go for the toilet paper.

I know you want to win a shiny new Dyson vacuum cleaner, that way you can get your significant other or kids to actually want to clean the house, right? Or maybe you want a MacBook? or a PC?
But wait a second…
I wouldn’t suggest you purchase bids and go all out trying to win the big auctions, just not quite yet.
You need to start small and work your way up. Think baby steps.
Start out by bidding on items that you actually use in your day-to-day life.
DealDash offers really useful items. We’re not talking more iPods, laptops, Macbooks, chopping gadgets, TVs, or ice cream makers, though these are all pretty useful and you really should bid on those, too.
So what are you going to bid on? Toilet Paper, Tide® and Toothbrushes.

Bid on the things you wouldn’t be able to live without. Like toilet paper.

Yes, DealDash has toilet paper auctions. Really!

You need to wash clothes. Think Tide®. DealDash has laundry detergent auctions.
Clothes always wrinkled? How about a new iron?
If you own a car, you’re going to need to buy gas. Right? DealDash has gas gift cards.
Drink coffee and use a Keurig? Want a cup of tea? There’s even K-Cup auctions for you. Want a Keurig? Check.
Like snacking on cheese and crackers? How about Cheez-It Crackers? You can bid on these, too.
Wood floors need cleaning? There’s even auctions for wood flooring cleaning solution.
If you go out to eat, or go shopping at anywhere from Lowe’s, Bath & Body Works, Target, CVS, Amazon.com, Toys R Us, Red Robin, Chili’s, Kmart/Sears, JCPenney, even AMC gift cards for when you go out to see a movie, Applebee’s, Panera Bread, Boston Market, Staples, Dunkin Donuts, Barnes & Noble, Old Navy, Outback, Cracker Barrel, Walmart, new shoes? Foot Locker, to so many more retailers and restaurants.

It really is a no-brainer to bid on the items that you are already spending money on in your daily online and offline life.
Worried you might not even be able to win that $23 package of toilet paper, well guess what?
For each and every item you bid on at DealDash and don’t win, you can buy it now and get all of the bids you spent in the auction back into your account! Read more about how to bid on DealDash in DealDash Demystified.
This means you can use your bids again on another item you might need, this way you will be honing your bidding skills, making your name known (The Powerbidder’s Strategy to Winning DealDash Auctions), and after too long, maybe win your first big item!
Soon you may be winning items for less than you’d pay for them at the store. So, try it, “buy it now,” save yourself the gas and a trip to the store, and soon the delivery guy or girl will be bringing you your toilet paper. 96 rolls of toilet paper, if you want.
If you are brand new to DealDash, bidding on these useful items is a perfect way to learn how to bid, before you try higher valued items like new TVs, and other expensive electronics.
Bidding on what you need could help you win the things you really want.
Join DealDash and buy bids. But hurry! For a limited-time only, bids are just ~~$0.18 each~~ now $0.16, but you first must purchase a pack of them for $0.60 each if you’re a new user.
