DealDash Product Review: The Ninja 1200 Blender & Green Smoothie Recipes!

Remember making that New Year’s Resolution to eat and live healthier in 2014? Perhaps like many people you’ve strayed off track, it’s time to change that and feel better about yourself for the decisions you’re about to make… The decision to win the new Ninja Blender from DealDash and resolve to start making “green smoothies.”
Tired of your blenders always breaking or ice cubes left uncrushed? The Ninja 1200 is equipped with 6 stacked precision razor-sharp blades and a 1200 watt motor. The Ninja 1200 is a much more affordable alternative to the famous Blendtec and VitaMix blenders and can handle high performance blended, pureeing, ice crushing and food processing. The Ninja 1200 is high powered enough to virtually mash anything you put in it within seconds..

My favorite reason for owning a high powered blender would have to be that it’s quick and easy to make not only protein shakes, soups, and salad dressings, but green smoothies! Green smoothies are an easy way to get more greens in your diet. Green smoothies can be a mix of greens and fruit, are super easy to make and can actually taste quite good!

Secret Strategies Of A Bid Jumper

Ok, so you get frustrated, red in the face and just downright angry when a bidder comes in “late in the game” and outbids you. These bidders have been coined “bid jumpers” by penny auction users, but what if jumpers had it all right and you were just bidding wrong?
Jumping is definitely a form of strategy for some penny auction bidders.
In defence of bid jumpers…
1. Bid Jumpers conserve their bids.
Think about this: If you begin bidding as soon as the auction starts and continue to bid for a few hours, just because you got in the first, or one of the first bids does not mean you will win or are entitled to win. Anyone can place a bid at any time. Except: Since DealDash understands that bidders do not like late entry “jumpers” all bidders must place a bid before the item hits $5.00, all new bidders after the $5.00 mark will not be allowed to place a bid.
2. Bid Jumpers pay attention.
Bid jumpers “sit in the weeds,” and pay attention to the auction. They research their opponents, they watch their bidding patterns, and they only place bids when the auction has been running for quite some time, or when they think bid buddies have run out of bids.

3. Bid Jumpers often annoy and confuse other bidders, therefore causing them to win more often.
Think of it this way. If a bidder “jumps” in enough while the same, say two bidders, have been bidding against one other it may confuse one or both of the two causing the new “jumper” bidder to win. Not always, but this is a possibility.
Still don’t like jumpers? Check out DealDash’s No Jumper Auctions.
How do No Jumper auctions work?
“When the price of an auction hits $5.00 (500 bids), all new bidders are blocked from entering the auction. This means less bidders and auctions that are easier to win. This is only on DealDash.com.
What do you think about bid jumpers? Do you jump in later?
