DealDash Tips: Getting to Know the Bidders

Do you know who you’re up against? Let’s get to know the other bidders.

There are many different types of bidders on DealDash. These bidders come from the 48 contiguous states and all different walks of life. You might be up against a retired grandma, a 21-year-old college kid, and a “shark” of a lawyer, all in the same auction! It’s interesting how there are so many different types of bidders there are, you can get a small glimpse into their life from reading their little bidder bio. Along with so many different types of people come different bidding styles. Here are some tips from DealDash on spotting the different types of bidders.

The Scattered Bidder

Bidders that scatter their bids here and there seemingly without too much thought behind it aren’t usually too much of a threat, in my opinion. These bidders are usually newbies, and don’t usually realize how many bids that it might really take to win an auction. Normally these bidders will throw 10 or 15 bids into an auction manually instead of using the BidBuddy, get frustrated, and move on.

Power Bidders

Everyone knows the Power Bidders! These are the bidders that just don’t stop. The Power Bidders will bid more than the value of the auction just to prove a point. These are bidders who will bid 1,000 bids on an item that’s only worth 400 bids, just to show everyone that they’re here to win. The Power Bidders are bidders that you really don’t want to tangle with. If I were you, I’d keep a list of the Power Bidders and make it a point not to get involved in auctions with them.

Smart Bidders

It should go without saying that a smart bidder is the kind of bidder that you want to be. Smart bidders are bidders who do their research, pick the best items, and bid cautiously. Smart bidders use their BidBuddies, stay away from the Power Bidders, and don’t get too emotionally invested in the auctions. These bidders are people who tend to win regularly, and BIN (Buy It Now) regularly as well. Smart bidders know that you can’t win them all, and they can get all of their bids back as well as free shipping when they BIN an item that they know they won’t win but have invested too many bids to quit. If you’re not a smart bidder, no problem! You can start implementing the practices of a smart bidder right away, and be well on your way to winning more auctions.

DealDash Weekend Bidding Tips

Are you planning on bidding on DealDash this weekend? Here are some great tips for bidding this weekend.

Bidding on DealDash is fun on any day, but the weekend is always extra exciting. DealDash is always extremely busy on the weekend, so there is more fun to be had. You might think that bidding on DealDash on a busy weekend is a bad idea, but it’s actually a good one. Can you guess why? Becuase when it’s so busy not only are there more auctions, but there is even more of a chance that a good deal will slip right through the cracks and no one will notice that you’re getting an awesome item for just a few bids.

The Early Bird Gets the Item

If you’re planning on bidding this weekend on DealDash I would suggest trying to bid early. Many people love to sleep in late on the weekend, so if you’re able to drag yourself out of bed extra early on Saturday or Sunday morning, then you’re going to have a great shot at getting an item for a low price.

Try During Dinner

Getting up early isn’t for everyone, so here’s another suggestion. People are more likely to go out to a restaurant for dinner on Saturday night than any other day. If you choose to stay home and bid on DealDash instead, then you’ll have a little bit less competition.

Late Night? Not So Fast

You might think that staying up late to bid is a great idea, but I wouldn’t go out of my way to do it. When I first joined DealDash I was working a few overnight shifts at my job. I was very excited because I thought that I would have a competitive advantage. I had to be awake and in front of a computer from 11PM-6AM anyway, I figured that the wins would just come rolling in due to the late hour. However, it didn’t really work out that way for me. I have always had much better luck bidding in the morning than any other time. Your results might be different, of course, especially if you take time zones into consideration.

DealDash Tips for Today

Stop thinking about the past, live in the present. Here are your DealDash tips for today.

Do you find yourself doing the same old thing over and over again on DealDash? Stop thinking about the past, what worked last year might not work as well today. It’s time to think about implementing some new strategies into your DealDash repertoire. Here are some things that you might want to think about changing up for today and the future ahead.

Number of Bids

Are you throwing a few bids here are there and expecting to win? That might have done the trick a few years ago. I remember bidding on DealDash 3 years ago and winning auctions with 50 bids or less, left and right, all day long. However, I’m sad to say, those days have changed. There is more competition these days, and auctions are harder to win. This means that you can’t just toss out 50 bids and expect to win. You need to think about the auction in depth before you put your bids in, and if you want to be sure that you aren’t losing money then you need to put in enough bids to reach the BIN (But It Now) price.

Free Bids

Though I was lamenting on the past in the paragraph above, the present on DealDash is pretty sweet as well. Even though there is more competition and auctions are harder to win, there are positives as well. DealDash offers more free bids to everyone than ever before. Years ago, you only received free bids by either filling up your bid meter or by posting pictures on Facebook. These days, however, you can get free bids on DealDash by just showing up! That’s right, every day that you show up and bid in an auction DealDash will give you free bids. You can use those bids that day, or save them up for another day. DealDash also now gives away 1,000 every week on Facebook! From DealDash’s Facebook:

Every Monday, DealDash will select the best picture of the previous week and award a 1,000 Bid Pack to the winner. The best picture will naturally be shared to the all the Facebook fans of DealDash. Photos of items valued under $99 are excluded from this weekly contest. – DealDash

New Items

The DealDash of today has more new and interesting items than ever before. The DealDash of a few years ago had a mixture of lower-valued items that you could get at the big box store along with some high-priced electronics. In the past couple of years, though, DealDash has expanded it’s inventory in a big way. There are now some amazing pieces of art and sculpture, clothing, beautiful jewelry, along with the old inventory that everyone knows and loves.

In summary, the DealDash of today is exciting and ever-evolving to suit the bidder’s needs. Thanks so much for reading this DealDash Tips article on the DealDash of today.

Tips for Staying Ahead of the DealDash Curve

Staying ahead of the curve can be a tricky thing. That’s why DealDash Tips is here to help you.

Does it seem like someone else is always getting the great deals on DealDash? Sure, you might win some auctions here and there. You might save a few dollars here, or a few dollars there. But it seems like everyone else is getting absolutely amazing bargains, and you aren’t? Maybe they are extra lucky, or perhaps they are doing something differently than you are. Here are some tips from DealDash for staying ahead of the curve when using your favorite bidding site.

Research Like it Matters (because it does)

Doing your research on DealDash is a very important part of staying ahead of the curve. DealDash has new features, promotions, and changes that happen throughout the year. If you want to stay at the top of your DealDash game, then you need to stay informed about what’s going on in and around DealDash. Reading the DealDash Blog as well as DealDash Tips is an excellent way to stay ahead of the curve and keep current on all of the DealDash events and happenings.

Don’t Forget to Take Advantage of Free Bids

DealDash offers so many ways to get free bids on the site. A few of the popular ways are by posting pictures of your wins to Facebook or other social media websites, filling up your bid meter, and by bidding every day. The reason that taking advantage of free bids puts you ahead of the competition is that you will be able to place more bids while spending the same amount of money.

For example, say you are trying to win a $10 gift card. If you haven’t collected any free bids, then you might just place a few bids, say 25, on the gift card. However, if you have recently collected 100 free bids, why not toss theose on the gift card as well? It won’t cost you any extra money, and it will greatly increase your chances at winning the gift card.
