Winning Auctions Requires Patience ❤︎ Patience ❤︎ Patience

DealDash Bidding Tip Patience

When it comes to winning auctions on DealDash there are a variety of tips and strategies to keep in mind.

Here are a few great examples shared from experienced DealDash bidders that continue to win auctions and come back to DealDash again and again to do their gift giving shopping for their family and friends.

1. Stay focused on one auction at a time and concentrate bids to that particular auction.

Many times we hear from people that have not won an auction in many weeks and that it’s just too hard to win. Winning is certainly very important to the bidding experience and it can become very discouraging if you’re not winning auctions. When was the last time you had a look at your bidding history or thought specifically about what type of bidding strategy you are using? Does your bidding history (dashboard > bidding history) look a bit like this picture below with 1 or maybe 2 bids on several different auctions?

If you’ve been placing a few random bids on hundreds of different auctions and have not won anything, you may want to change up your bidding strategy and become more focused on what you are bidding on.

2. Set your budget and decide in advance the number of bids to use in the auction which is equivalent to the Buy it Now price for the auction item.

Setting a budget is very important and part of what responsible bidding is all about. Look at the Buy it Now price of an auction and figure out how many bids it makes sense to use in the auction. Know when it’s a good time to back out of the auction and use the Buy it Now to get your bids back in case other bidders are just not stopping. This will help ensure you are not overbidding or overspending.

3. Don’t go over the budget. Only use the amount of bids you budgeted to try and win it.

Tip number three is to stick to tip number two and not go over budget! Simple as that.

4. If you don’t win the auction, always buy the item using the Buy it Now and get your bids back so you don’t lose the bids either.

A great tip is to only bid on items you need or want and are planning on buying anyway. If you’ve got a few hundred bids on your account and you absolutely know you are going to need a new set of kitchen pots and pans. Why not take those bids and bid for a new set on DealDash for a chance to win the pots and pans set at 90% off retail? If you don’t win them, simply buy them and get your bids back. You’ll get your shopping down with free shipping and have your bids to use again!

We hope you’ll find some of these tips useful and implement them into your bidding strategy. Based on the data we’ve collected from customers since DealDash was established in 2009 we’ve found that customers who use DealDash as a shopping site and not just a bid to win auction site tend to win more auctions and have a better experience.

9 Essential Kitchen Items On DealDash For A Healthier Lifestyle

Everyday thousands of items are listed up for auction on DealDash. Many of the items are unique and there’s 10 full pages listing 60 auctions per page which makes it easy for someone to suddenly find themselves browsing auctions for a half hour or more. To help narrow down the search of what you’re interested in, notice how it’s possible to browse the auctions by categories. One of the most loved auction categories is Kitchen & Appliances. I see no doubt why since after-all…the kitchen is the heart of the home.

Keeping the heart of the home in mind, this post is about essential kitchen items auctioned on DealDash which can help you eat healthier, and a few tips for getting started.

1. Oster 7-Speed Food Processor / Blender

Start the day off with a fresh smoothie! One of my favorite smoothie recipes:

1-2 banana(s)
1 cup of chopped frozen mango
1 pear
1 tbl spoon of coconut oil
Blend above contents first then add a large handful of spinach (optional but recommended)

Add a little bit of water and a small amount of orange juice if desired and blend. To boost the minerals add one large handful of fresh spinach to make it a bright and delicious green smoothie!

2. KitchenAid 13-Cup Food Processor

Don’t you just love KitchenAid made in the USA!

Check out how awesome this is for slicing fresh vegetables.

3. KitchenAid Ice Cream Maker for Most KitchenAid Stand Mixers

Homemade ice cream are lower in fat but still rich tasting. Just be reasonable with the sugar. This is a great alternative to cool down without breaking your diet.

4. Euro Cuisine: Yogurt Maker

Have you ever made homemade yogurt before? It’s actually super simple and with a yogurt maker like this you can make a variety of health yogurts to quench your appetite. Check out this homemade yogurt recipe by Megan O. Steintrager on Epicurious.

5. EatSmart Precision Pro Digital Kitchen Scale

digital kitchen scale on DealDash — Set an alert to be notified when this starting.

If you’re being conscious about how much you eat be sure to portion your food properly. This little guy can be very useful in the kitchen to help ensure you’re making just what you need, which in my case helps prevent over eating.

6. FoodSaver 11-inch Roll for FoodSaver Vacuum Sealer

food saver dealdash — If you don’t win just Buy it Now and get your bids back.

These food savers are great if you don’t like to cook too often and especially when you cook too much food. You can create custom size bags with these for storing frozen vegetables or fruit which can be useful for a quick meal or a nice addition to your morning smoothie.

7. Ceramic Peeler

Ceramic peelers are great because they will not rust, transfer odor, or brown your food unlike steel. A great addition to soups and smoothies is freshly peeled ginger! Give it a try, you’ll love it!

8. Glass jar

Glass packaging is the best protection for your food and drink, because it keeps the good elements inside and keeps them apart from the wrong ones without using additives. This Anchor Hocking 1 Gallon Heritage Hill Glass Jar is 100% waterproof, even gas proof. I don’t know about you but I love to snack so instead of going for a bag of salty chips I keep a glass jar filled with cashews. Cashews are considered a power food and highly nutritious! They’re not only great by themselves but try adding some to your next salad – very nice!

9. Cooking Utensils

Cookware should be designed to allow for easy cleaning. There should be no cracks or rough edges that can trap or hold food or bacteria. When was the last time you inspected your cooking utensils? It’s also good to avoid using metal or hard plastic utensils on cookware so go for something like this Zeroll Ussentials Nylon Spatula. Bamboo is another good alternative.

Final Thoughts

Eating healthy can be challenging but fun and easy too; especially if you have the right tools in your heart of the home. I challenge you to pick up a new healthy recipe or new food whenever you shop. If you have a great healthy recipe which can be used with any of the above mentioned kitchen items please post it in the comment section below!
