Want Wins? DealDash Tips to the Rescue!

Do you like you should be getting more wins on DealDash? Let’s look at your strategies and see what might be going wrong.

Everyone who bids on DealDash uses a strategy, whether they realize they’re using it or not. Some of us think deeply about our strategies and others not so much. Some of us consciously try to change up our strategies to confuse other bidders, and some don’t. That’s the great thing about DealDash, you can bid any way that you want, and other people can bid any way that they want. There are very few rules on DealDash, such as no team bidding and no vulgar names, but you can basically bid however you feel best suits the particular auction that you are trying to win.

Are You Being TOO Cautious?

Personally, I feel like I am a rather cautious DealDash player. I don’t ever go for huge wins such as TVs or computers because I am not prepared to BIN (But It Now) them. I stick with small to medium sized items or gift cards because I am always ready to BIN these things. However, there are bidders even more cautious than me who rarely spend more than 25 or 50 bids on an auction. This is probably because they aren’t prepared to BIN if they don’t win. If you’re more on the cautious side, then perhaps you should stick with auctions that you actually need and want. This way you can spend more than 20 or so bids and have a much greater chance of winning the auction.

Or Maybe You’re Too Reckless

On the flip side of the cautious coin, there are other bidders who are much too reckless with their bids. They will throw 100 bids here, and 100 bids there, and another 100 bids on another auction, all at the same time. They won’t stay and monitor the auctions, they just keep throwing bid after bid after bid onto different auctions, all at the same time. This is not typically considered a good strategy, because even though you can use the BidBuddy on as many auctions as you like at the same time, you will have better results if you monitor the auctions that you are bidding on, and add more or cancel your BidBuddies as you need to.

Bid How You Like

No matter how cautious or how reckless you are on DealDash, that’s okay! Maybe you can be cautious one day and reckless the next, and keep the other bidders guessing. It’s always good to have a little mystery in your life, why not start with DealDash?

Tips and Tricks for the DealDash Newbie

DealDash

Being a newbie is easy on DealDash when you follow these simple tips and tricks. Read on for more information.

DealDash is extremely newbie friendly, unlike some of the other auction sites. Being new on DealDash doesn’t mean that you can’t win auctions! Quite to the contrary, you will actually have an easier time winning auctions, especially on your first few tries. Because you see, on your first few tries, DealDash will show you some auctions that are only visible to other newbies, so there is less competition as well as other inexperienced people bidding on them. If you want to get the inside scoop that some of these other newbies don’t know, then be sure to read the DealDash Tips blog every day. We always provide the best information for DealDash bidders both new and old.

Use Your Newbie Auctions

If you really want to get the hang of DealDash, then be sure not to bid on any of the more advanced auctions on your first few wins. As I said above, when you’re a newbie DealDash will show you some bonus auctions just for newbies as well as some auctions that are available for anyone to bid on as well. The newbie auctions are easy to spot because they are typically lower-valued auctions such as $10 gift cards. Be sure to use up your first few auction experiences on some of these newbie-specific auctions, because once you have won a few auctions then DealDash won’t show you the newbie auctions on your screen anymore.

BidBuddy Truly is Your Buddy

You have probably heard me talk about the BidBuddy hundreds of times in the past few years, but it still stands as the best and most useful tool that DealDash has to offer any bidder. And unlike the newbie-specific auctions, the BidBuddy is for every single bidder and can be used in every single auction.

The BidBuddy can mean the difference between winning and losing an auction. The BidBuddy can also mean the difference between winning and getting an amazing deal, and just getting a few dollars off of the regular retail price. When you use the BidBuddy in an auction you should put in the absolute maximum bids that you can put in without going over the retail price. This way you don’t have stay at your computer and babysit your auctions, you can even turn off your computer and walk away. You can come back later to see if you’ve won! I have had many wonderful surprise wins by using the BidBuddy and walking away.

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.

So you’ve acquainted yourself with the website, you’ve checked out the categories, now it’s time to bid! Be sure that you select something that you would choose to buy anyway, and bid it up to the purchase limit! If you don’t happen to win, then you can just BIN (Buy It Now), and get all of your bids back when you purchase the product as well as free shipping.
