DealDash Tips to Outsmart Others

screenshot-3

Everyone likes to think that they are the smartest person in the room. How would YOU like to be the smartest person in the auction? Let DealDash Tips help.

Okay, I can’t make you the smartest person on DealDash, but I can teach you a few little mind games to help you outsmart the others in the auctions. Are using mind games on DealDash considered cheating? Of course not! Everyone on DealDash is encouraged to play and bid exactly as they want, and they are free to play mind games as well. That’s the great thing about DealDash – you can do it “your way” as long as you follow the (few) simple rules. Now, who wants to win some auctions?

When thinking about mind games and DealDash, the first thing that comes to my mind are the “Stompers.” You know them, the people who choose to bid directly after you instead of letting you have your clock time. Well, if you want to play mind games, then stomp away. When a stomper enters into an auction, they are immediately the most disliked person in the room. However, this can work to your advantage, because unless there is a very determined and angry person in the auction with you, most people will just stop bidding and let the stomper and the BidBuddies battle it out. Once you’ve defeated the BidBuddies, then the auction is yours! I don’t suggest using this technique unless you are committed to BINning (Buying It Now) the auction. Also, this is not a good way to make friends.

Another mind game that you can play on DealDash is the 10 bid/BIN strategy. The 10 bid/BIN strategy is one of my personal favorites. This strategy really only works if you bid very frequently on DealDash – people have to recognize your name for this to work. This strategy entails BINning at least half of the auctions that you participate in – but sometimes you have to BIN to WIN! The other half of the auctions you put ridiculously low numbers of bids such as 1-10 into your BidBuddy. That way people have NO idea if you are going to BIN the item or stop bidding after only a few bids. If you’re in an auction and people, recognize you as the person who normally BINs the auction – well, they might not bother wasting any bids if they feel you’re planning on “going all the way.”

These are just a couple of mind games that you can play on DealDash. I hope that you found this DealDash Tips article helpful. DealDash has everything that you need for your home as well as great gift items. Visit DealDash now to see how much you can save. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!!

DealDash Tips to “DO” Daily

screenshot-1

You’re used to having a “to-do” list at home. Here is your daily “DO” list for DealDash.

Do you ever wish that someone would just tell you what to do so that you could win more auctions? Here at DealDash Tips we understand that, and want to help you win  more auctions with our list of DO’s for DealDash. If you follow this list you are bound to be winning more auctions in no time! Read on, take notes, visit DealDash.

  • Use your BidBuddy. The BidBuddy is your best friend on DealDash. You really shouldn’t be bidding without him. Your BidBuddy will place your bids during the last few seconds of the auction clock automatically, around the 2 second mark, so you can make the most of your “clock time” as the highest bidder without having to worry that you will accidentally press the “bid” button too slowly and not get your bid in. Or, in extremely rare cases, your BidBuddy will keep on bidding for you if your power goes out or your Wi-Fi disconnects, as long as you have booked bids in your BidBuddy. Your BidBuddy also saves you time since you don’t even have to sit at your computer or have it turned on as long as you have bids booked. The BidBuddy is a definite DO on DealDash.
  • Take time to research the items. It seems like not everyone follows this DealDash DO, but I highly recommend that you research everything that you can about the items before you bid. If you just start throwing your bids around without doing any research you have less of a strategy and therefore less chance of winning.
  • Check out the “Winners” tab at the top of the DealDash page. Check this tab daily on DealDash so you can get a feel for how the auctions are going that day. If you see a lot of winners for a final auction fee of less than $2 it might be wise to place some bids on items that you have had your eye on.
  • Buy It Now (BIN) DealDash wants you to be happy, that’s why they have the BIN feature available on each and every auction. If you don’t win the auction you can BIN the item for its retail price (that is always listed very clearly on each auction’s page), and receive each and every bid that you placed on that auction, as well as free shipping on the item. BINning an item that you don’t win is a huge DO on the DealDash DO’s list.

I hope that you found this DealDash Tips article helpful. If you have any questions please feel free to leave a comment down below. Now take this list of DealDash DO’s and go visit DealDash. You can check out the auctions, do some research, and see how much you can save. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

DealDash Tips for Polite Bidding

screenshot-25

No one likes a rude bidder. There are rude bidders out there, but you don’t want to be one! Read these DealDash tips for polite bidding.

Have you ever been bidding in a DealDash auction, and everything is going great – people are using their BidBuddies, everyone is taking turns, and no one is doing anything out of the ordinary…Then all of a sudden in comes a wild bidder! They are throwing bids around like confetti, stomping here and there, and generally making a nuisance of themselves? If you don’t recognize this scenario, it’s possible that you are the wild bidder that everyone gives a heavy sigh when they see you enter the auction. Let’s read some tips from DealDash on how to be a more polite and well-liked bidder.

Why should you be concerned about being a polite and more well-liked bidder? Well, other than the fact that it’s just the nice thing to do, polite and well-liked bidders on DealDash tend to win more auctions. If I have been in a long auction battle with another bidder who has been politely using their BidBuddy the entire time, and it’s an auction that I plan on BINning (Buy It Now) anyway, I might stop bidding once it’s down to the two of us. I wouldn’t do this if we are only halfway to winning, but if we are $5 or less away from my personal BIN limit, I might do the nice thing and stop so they get a little discount if they have been a polite bidder the whole time. I don’t always do this, of course, but if you have been a rude bidder I will do the exact opposite, and bid way past my personal BIN limit, just to spite you. See, it makes sense to be polite.

What constitutes a rude bidder? Opinions on this vary slightly, but it’s pretty much agreed that “Stompers” and “Jumpers” are considered very rude in DealDash Land. What are Stompers and Jumpers? The 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 alllllmost reached the $5 No Jumper limit and places their first bid, usually between $4.75-$5.

I hope that you have found this DealDash Tips article on how to be a polite bidder helpful. Of course, these are just my 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. Everyone loves DealDash because of the variety and value of the auctions. Go visit DealDash now. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

DealDash Tips: Bidder Research

screenshot-21

If you’re not doing your research on the other bidders, you’re cheating yourself out of auction wins…

You love DealDash, I love DealDash, everyone loves DealDash! DealDash has been around since 2009, and has picked up so many registered users, there is always plenty of competition on the site. More competition means it’s more difficult to win auctions at a low price. Luckily, the more that you learn about the bidders on DealDash the more likely you are to win.

Whether you are just starting out on DealDash or if you are a seasoned bidder that’s been with DealDash since the beginning, it pays to know your competition. Who is your competition? Everyone! There are so many different types, ages, and personalities of bidders on DealDash, that you really need to be taking notes. Yes, seriously. You may choose to take notes on an Excel spreadsheet, a word document, emails to yourself, or even a plain old pen and paper. How you save your DealDash bidder research notes is up to you, but I personally prefer an Excel spreadsheet.

If you are going to start taking notes on different bidders using an Excel spreadsheet, I would start as soon as possible, and spend as much time doing your research as you can. The more bidders that you can add to your spreadsheet the better off you will be, and the more auctions that you will win.

There are a few things that you should take note of when doing research on DealDash bidders. You should make a note of bidder names, what sorts of auctions that they bid on, if they drop out of auctions early or stay late and over-bid, and if they are a polite bidder or a stomper. Once you have all of this information, then you can come into auctions more informed, and therefore more likely to be successful.

Once you start doing research on DealDash bidders you can categorize your bidders however you like. Some possible ways you might like to categorize your bidders are:

  • Over-bidders
  • Drop outs
  • Alphabetically (for easy look-up)
  • Or you might like to organize the bidders by their favorite categories, such as “gift cards” or “tools”

I hope that you have found this DealDash Tips article about doing research on bidders helpful. If you commit some time to doing bidder research, you will reap the rewards in the form of more auction wins. Visit DealDash now to check out the auctions. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
