Happy New Year! DealDash Tips for Winning

Happy New Year 2017! Here are some tips to winning on DealDash in 2017.

Hello everyone! Welcome back to DealDash Tips. Today we have some tips for you to improve your bidding game in 2017. In case you are very new to DealDash, the auctions all start at 1 penny, every time a person bids the auction price goes up by 1 cent. Do know, though, that each bid that is placed is not free, bids are purchased before you can bid in the auction.

Buying a Bid Pack

How many bids will you need to buy to get a good start on DealDash? It’s totally up to you, but what you should do when deciding how many bids to purchase is to do some research on the product that you would like to win. Click on the DealDash auction that you are interested in, and look to the left of the screen. Under the picture of the item will be a box that includes information about the previous auctions for the same item. The box will include the date of the previous auction, the amount that the item sold for, and the winning bidder. From this information that DealDash provides for you, you can get a pretty good idea of how many bids you might need to spend to become the winning bidder or to BIN the item.After you have purchased your bids and understand exactly how the auctions are played, and read through the rules, then it’s time to bid! Please make sure that you do some research on the item of your choice before you start placing bids willy-nilly.

Using the BidBuddy to Your Advantage

If you’re tired of always missing the bid button when bidding, and discovering that the last bidder ends up winning then you need to use your BidBuddy. When you find an item on the main page that you are serious about bidding on, open up the individual item’s auction page. Set up your BidBuddy by placing the number of bids in the space provided, and hit the “Book BidBuddy” button. You can change the number of bids at any time – add or remove bids as you see fit.

You can set as many BidBuddies as you like, and participate in many auctions at the same time. Most auctions are won with the BidBuddy, so make sure that you are taking advantage of this great tool that DealDash gives all of the bidders.

Choosing Items Wisely

Be sure that you are choosing items to bid on that are realistic for your lifestyle and budget. If you are on a tight budget and using DealDash to try to win some basic items for yourself and your family, then I wouldn’t advise bidding on 55″ Ultra Hi-Def TVs and the newest laptops. On the other side of the coin, if you are trying to become the next new power bidder, then why are you bothering with bidding on $10 gift cards and small trinkets? If you want to be a power bidder then go big!

I would say that most people probably fall somewhere between the two extremes. My advice is to do your research, do your DealDash math to be sure that you’re putting the proper number of bids into your BidBuddy, and cross your fingers for good luck!

New Year’s Eve – DealDash Tips Style

Happy New Year’s Eve everyone! Tonight is a special night, I’m sure you’re looking forward to Midnight!

Even though Midnight is what we are all focused on, why not spend some time browsing on DealDash to make the time go by faster? I have some super-secret DealDash Tips for you, read on for some information on current and future DealDash promotions.

If you have already visited DealDash today you might have noticed that the bids are currently .13, which is a great deal. All auction wins are also half-off right now. So if you haven’t paid DealDash a visit yet today you should!

Bid Prices and Special Sales Below

However, tomorrow is New Year’s Day, and you know that DealDash wouldn’t let a major national holiday go by without a great sale! The bids will be at an all-time low of .12, and all wins will be FREE! Well, technically they will be .01, for processing, but it’s so much more fun to say free, free, FREE!

This is good for all auctions that start tomorrow, even if the auction lasts through the night and into the next day. As long as you start bidding on an auction with the price crossed out and the words “Free” it will be .01 no matter when it ends. This would be a great time to start bidding on a high-priced item that you plan on BINning (Buy It Now) anyway because it’s very easy to figure out exactly how many bids that you need to place to bid it up to the BIN limit. Figuring out how many bids to place into the BidBuddy is always a little tricky when you are bidding on a full or even half-priced auction.

Earn Free Bids

Take advantage of this free auction promotion to get the most out of your bids! If you are bidding things up to the BIN limit, then you are going to be earning a lot of “Time as the Highest Bidder.” This way, you will be earning your free bids in no time!

I hope that you found this DealDash Tips article helpful. Remember to check to the DealDash Reviewed and DealDash Tips blogs often, because you never know when we are going to be posting more super-secret information like bid prices and DealDash sale promotions. Now that you have this information, go visit DealDash and browse the auctions. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

DealDash Exercise Tips for Busy Moms

Busy moms everywhere are having a difficult time losing weight and staying healthy due to so many other chores. Here are some tips from DealDash to try to fit in some exercise.

Are you a busy mom? Has it been a few years since you had your last baby, yet you still haven’t lost all of the baby weight? It’s so difficult to find time to fit in exercise with all of the other chores that you need to do each day. Here are some quick tips from DealDash to help you get slimmed down and feeling your best.

Mix Chores with Exercise

That’s right! The next time that you need to vacuum get a work out in while you clean. If you still have a baby small enough to wear in a carrier, strap that baby on and wear them while you vacuum. The extra weight that the child adds provides more resistance, so you are burning more calories than without the baby. If you think that your baby is too big to wear, you just need a different carrier! If you have a mei tai carrier (an extremely long piece of cloth that you tie to hold the baby) you can carry a child up to about 4 years old!

If you don’t have a child small enough to wear in a carrier, then try putting on ankle weights when you vacuum. The ankle weights provide resistance as well, so try and wear the heaviest weights that you can wear safely.

Try Yard Work and Gardening

If you have a small child they would probably love to play in the dirt with you. Take your child outside with you to do the yard work and gardening. Doing yard work burns a surprising amount of calories:

Raking and bagging leaves: 350-450 calories per hour

Gardening: pulling weeds, planting flowers, etc.: 200-400 calories per hour

Mowing the lawn: 250-350 calories per hour

Watch Cartoons and Pedal

Watching cartoons with your child is normally an activity that burns zero calories. However, if you get a Gold’s Gym Folding Body Cycle from DealDash (as pictured below) you can get your work out in while you enjoy the show with your child. Now that DealDash requests that you give reviews to the products that you win, you can see how well this product might work for you.

I hope that you found this DealDash Tips article helpful. If you’re a busy mom then you should follow these tips to get a little healthier. DealDash has many fitness products that you might like such as weights, yoga balls, and more. DealDash has everything you need. Visit DealDash now. Good luck and happy DealDash bidding!

Here’s a Tip – DealDash Loves YOU

DealDash is a great company, they appreciate your business, they respect you as bidders, and they treat their employees well. DealDash rewards your loyalty with free bids.

DealDash is a well-respected, long-standing (8 years in February!) website that treats its customers with gratitude, respect, and kindness. Many online auction companies are completely nameless and faceless, but at DealDash you can always get a human to answer your question, help you with a problem, or give you some bidding advice. Here at DealDash Tips we always like to look at the positive side of life, here are some ways that DealDash shows it’s appreciation for you, the bidder.

Time As Highest Bidder

Were you aware that every time that you place a bid DealDash keeps track of the time that you were the highest bidder? If you look on the bottom of your screen you can see a little meter that goes up, up, UP while you are the highest bidder. As long as no one “jumps” your bid and bids right after you, you will receive approximately 8 or 9 seconds per bid. When your bid meter at the bottom of the screen is filled up, you reach the next level, you will be rewarded with the free bids. On DealDash, the more you bid, the more free bids you receive as a gesture of appreciation from DealDash.

Social Media

You can receive free bids for posting pictures of the items that you won from DealDash on Facebook.

Follow these steps to get your free bids:

1. Select an item you have won on DealDash to feature in the photo.
2. Take a high quality photo clearly showing yourself and the item you won.
3. Post photo to DealDash’s Facebook page and add a description which should include the following information: the item name, retail price, how much you paid for the item and a personal comment about the win as well. For example: “I got this $149 sewing machine on @DealDash. I paid just $9.08 and used 201 bids! Thanks DealDash, I love to sew!”
4. In the end of the caption, please include the following sentence and the link (See the picture below):

If the item value is $199 or above you’ll get 200 Free Bids!

If the item value is $99 to $198 you’ll get 75 Free Bids!

If the item value is less than $99 you’ll get 10 Free Bids!

You can see all of these instructions and guidelines on the DealDash Facebook page here. Sorry, these must be actual items, not gift cards or bid packs.

Writing reviews

Did you know that you can get free bids by writing product reviews on items that you have won? This is just another instance of DealDash valuing your opinion and your patronage as a customer. If you look on your DealDash dashboard you should see the items that you have won. If you see a link to write a review, just click it and write a few sentences about the item. DealDash will reward you with 10 free bids!
