Tips for Dealing With Other DealDash Bidders

DealDash

Have you had a little bit of trouble with other bidders since you started on DealDash? Not to worry, DealDash can help you with a few tips and tricks to get along with the other bidders.

Bidding on DealDash is fun and exciting, but sometimes you might get into little tiffs here and there with the other bidders. Not that you’ll really know, anyway, since there is not a bidder chat feature. I personally think that is a GOOD thing. I can only imagine some of the things that people might say to each other! Here are some ideas to keep on the other bidder’s good sides. Why not? Keep it friendly!

Don’t Stomp, People. Just Don’t.

If you were to ask other bidders what their pet peeves are, “Stompers” and “Jumpers” would be at the very top of the list on DealDash. What are Stompers and Jumpers, you might wonder? A Stomper picks an auction, and rather than bidding politely and waiting for the timer to go down to 2 or 3 seconds they bid immediately after a person, therefore cheating the person out of their “clock time.” The Jumper is someone who waits until the auction has practically reached the $5 No Jumper limit and places their first bid, usually between $4.50-$5. This is also true when DealDash runs their “$3 No Jumper Limit, as well. The Jumper will wait until the auction has reached $2.75 or so and then jump right in.

Don’t Over-Bid for Fun

Are you the sort of bidder who stops bidding when you have reached the BIN limit? Great, keep doing what you’re doing! However, if you’re the sort of bidder that keeps bidding on and on and on, even after the auction has reached the BIN price, that’s not a good way to get along with other bidders.

Have you ever been in an auction that ended for twice the amount of the BIN price? This happens fairly often in gift card auctions when it’s a Half-Price or Free Auction Weekend promotion. It’s very aggravating to the other bidders, and no one will thank you for it. It can sometimes backfire on you as well if the auction ends unexpectedly and it’s NOT a Free Auction Weekend. Of course, these are just my personal suggestions, please feel free to bid however you like on DealDash – they are your bids to use as you like. All bidders, rude and polite, love to bid on DealDash.

Tips to Understand DealDash Lingo

DealDash has its own lingo that can be a little confusing when you first start out. Let DealDash translate for you.

“What is DealDash, and how does it work?” are among the most common questions that we hear around the DealDash Tips blog. Well, they are easy to answer, and DealDash Tips blog is always willing to help and explain things to newbie DealDashers. DealDash is a fun internet auction site where bidders purchase bids and use them on auctions to win items. If the person doesn’t win the item then they can buy it at the retail price that’s listed on the auction’s page and receive all of their bids back.

DealDash also has its own little lingo that you’ll need to take a quick lesson on before you get started. Don’t worry, there’s nothing too confusing, and you can always come back here to the blog to get clarification by submitting a comment down at the bottom asking for help. Now, on to your lingo lesson.

Winner’s List

The Winner’s List is a very important tab located at the top of your auction home screen. The reason that the Winner’s List is important is by looking at it, you can see if people are getting great deals at that particular moment or not. There are certain days and times where it seems like there are very few awesome deals to be had. Then, there are other days and times where it seems that DealDash is just giving everything away. Do yourself a favor and check out the Winner’s Tab before you start bidding at any given time.

BIN/Buy It Now

As I mentioned above, DealDash offers a “Buy It Now” or “BIN” option on every single auction. BIN means that you have placed bids in a DealDash auction and didn’t win, but you may purchase the item for retail value and receive all of your bids back. BIN is a very common DealDash word, and you will hear and see it around the site very frequently. DealDash is the only pay-to-bid sites that offer a BIN guarantee. The BIN guarantee is an awesome gift from DealDash. In fact, DealDash was actually started by a person who played on one of those “other” auction sites and lost his money with nothing to show for it.

BidBuddy

The BidBuddy is your friend that you will get to know very well as a DealDash bidder. The BidBuddy is DealDash’s automated bidding tool. The BidBuddy is something that you will (or should!) use every time that you bid.The BidBuddy is available on every auction, to every bidder. You can use the BidBuddy for free and book as many BidBuddies as you would like.

The BidBuddy is the way to win auctions on DealDash. The BidBuddy will place bids for you in the last 2-3 seconds of an auction. All active BidBuddies in an auction will alternate bidding until there is only one player left in the auction. You can place any amount of bids in your BidBuddy and adjust the number or cancel it whenever you like. Almost all auctions are won with the BidBuddy.

Tips to Maximize DealDash Wins

Everyone loves to win on DealDash – no one plays to lose, after all! Here are some tips from DealDash to maximize your auction wins.

Have been paying attention to all of the helpful information that all of the DealDash blogs provide? Wait, you didn’t know that there was more to read than just the DealDash Tips blog?! You’re missing out! There are actually three blogs that provide daily information. In addition to this blog, DealDash Tips, there is also DealDash Blog and DealDash Reviewed. Be sure that you are checking out all three of the blogs on a daily basis, you wouldn’t want to miss anything.

Bid Early and Often

If you aren’t checking out DealDash when you get up in the morning, then you aren’t winning as many auctions as you could be. There are definitely fewer bidders participating in the early hours of the morning when compared to the “prime time” bidding hours of around 8PM-Midnight. You might have to set your alarm clock a little earlier in the morning, but it’s totally worth it when you realize how many more auctions that you can win in the early morning.

When I say to bid often, I mean every day. You don’t actually have to place bids every day, but at least check out the site and see what people are bidding on and by checking out the Winner’s Tab you can see when the auctions are closing, and what the final auction fees end up costing. When you bid early and bid often you’re a step ahead of the competition.

Use DealDash Bookmarks and Alerts

When you see an item that is coming up for auction soon but isn’t going to start for a few hours, then bookmarking is the way to go. Bookmarking an auction on DealDash is just one click! Just click on the little outline of a star in the upper right corner of the auction and you’re good to go! The little star will turn solid, and the auction will now be pinned to your DealDash home page. If the auction is further away, then you’ll want to set an alert.

Setting an alert is simple and can be set on absolutely anything in DealDash’s massive inventory. All you have to do is click the button that says “Alert me” and DealDash will send you an email when an auction has been scheduled for this item. DealDash will alert you when the auction is starting within a couple of days, and then again when the auction is starting within a couple of hours.

Thanks for Reading the DealDash Blog

I hope this article has been helpful and has taught you something new. If you have any questions about any other DealDash processes, check out DealDash’s “Tips & Tricks” section on the site.

DealDash Tips to Win Outdoor Decor

Wouldn’t you love to have a beautiful patio like the picture above? Read this article to learn some tips for bidding on outdoor decor on DealDash.

DealDash has such a varied and interesting selection of outdoor decor items up for auction. There are your standard things like outdoor seats and storage, but there are also very unique pieces of sculpture as well as working fountains. These are some of the items that will make your yard look amazing as well as unique. Don’t be like the neighbor next door, win some unique outdoor decor from DealDash with these bidding tips from DealDash.

It’s Chilly, Bid Now

Here it is. March, and there is still snow on the ground and icicles on the roof. Unless you are living somewhere delightfully tropical, you probably aren’t bidding on outdoor items…But you should be! Bidding on outdoor items while it’s still snowy and cold outside will cut down on the competition. If you were to wait until the height of the summer season, well, there would be a lot more bidders vying for that bird bath!

Choose Your Auction Carefully

DealDash sometimes offers the same item up for bid within days of each other, sometimes even on the same day. If you’ve decided on a particular piece of outdoor decor that you would like to win then choose the day and time that is right for you. Typically auctions that start very early in the morning or very late at night on weeknights tend to end at a lower price. However, you never know what’s going to happen in a DealDash auction, that’s the wonderful mystery that is DealDash.

Don’t Win? Just BIN

Sadly, some of these high-quality outdoor decor items can be very highly sought after on DealDash. If you don’t end up winning your ideal outdoor decor item, don’t worry! DealDash offers the BIN option on every single item, no matter how many bids you have placed (as long as you placed 1). You can always BIN (Buy It Now), and pay retail price for the item and receive all of your bids back. Not only will you receive your item, all of your bids back, and get to keep the clock time that you accrued while bidding, you will also receive free shipping. Now that, my DealDash friends, is a DEAL.
