Examining DealDash Strategies for Fun

Have you been using the same old strategy on DealDash over and over again? Let’s look at some different strategies for winning auctions!

Learning about different types of DealDash strategies can be very helpful when you are bidding on DealDash. You can attempt to predict what other people are going to do when they’re bidding, and you can even implement other people’s strategies into your own. If you take a little bit of strategy from here and a little from there, then your strategy on DealDash is going to be very difficult for other people to figure out, which is a good thing for you! A little mystery is definitely a good thing when it comes to revealing yourself to other bidders on DealDash.

Be a Cautious Bidder

Before you start bidding in DealDash auctions it’s very important to figure out a bidding strategy to use. Being a cautious bidder is a great strategy that will result in saving lots of bids. You need to use patience and watch plenty of auctions before you make the decision to bid. The more auctions that you watch, the better skills that you will gain. The only problem with being a very cautious bidder is that you might miss out on some opportunities that other less cautious bidders might grab onto and get a surprise win.

Use the BidBuddy – Always a Good Strategy

If you’re looking for some things to perfect your bidding strategy BidBuddy is the solution for you. The BidBuddy is a great tool that DealDash gives (free of charge) to all bidders, that you can put in as many or as few bids as you like. You can cancel it or add more bids at any time. The BidBuddy will work well with any sort of strategy from overly cautious to overly adventurous. The choice is yours, the BidBuddy is just waiting for you to tell it what to do in the auction.

The Aspiring Power Bidder

The aspiring power bidder is going to bid until they are out of bids so they can win at all costs. This isn’t the best strategy to use if your’re short of funds. The aspiring power bidder doesn’t care who is bidding or how many people are still in the auction. The aspiring power bidder loads up their BidBuddies and occasionally come back to see if they have won or if they need to add even more bids into their BidBuddy. They will do this multiple times until they either win or run out of bids. Personally, I think it’s smarter to just load up the BidBuddy with the BIN (Buy It Now) cost of the item and then do a BIN if you don’t win. When using the BIN option DealDash will when refund all of the bids you used on that item, and you can try again another day.

Being Patient, Using Your BidBuddy on DealDash

When you think about good attributes to have as a DealDash bidder, patience is an excellent one.

Everyone can win on DealDash once or twice – but to keep your winning streak going over and over again requires many skills. One of those important skills to have is patience. Patience is a great skill to have in many aspects of life, and DealDash auctions are just one of them. Success in life and on DealDash requires patience, wisdom, and skill. It will take effort, attention, and time, but you can learn how to be successful on DealDash by using patience.

Watch Before You Bid

Before you start bidding in DealDash auctions it’s very important to learn from other bidders in the auctions. You need to use patience and watch plenty of auctions before you make the decision to bid. You don’t want to win just anything on DealDash, do you?

For example, what good is winning ladies’ perfume if you don’t wear perfume, and you don’t have anyone in mind to give the perfume to as a gift? Wouldn’t it be a better idea to be patient and wait a little longer until something that you would really love to win comes up for auction? However, it would still be a good idea to watch that perfume auction, even if you aren’t planning on bidding in it. The more auctions that you watch, the better skills that you will gain.

Use the BidBuddy

Have you met the BidBuddy yet? If you’re lacking patience, perhaps BidBuddy is the solution for you. The BidBuddy is a great tool that DealDash gives (free of charge) to all bidders, that you can put in as many or as few bids as you like. You can cancel it or add more bids at any time. Your BidBuddy will alternate bidding with the other BidBuddies that are set until there are no more bids placed from BidBuddies or other bidders, and whoever has the last bid in before the clock runs out is the winner. The BidBuddy is the epitome of patience, it’s programmed to place your bids just before an auction closes, making it a great way to make sure that you’re maximizing your bids.

Make Every Bid Count

Don’t go tossing your bids all over the place. Think about each and every auction that you enter, and plan things out before you bid. Bid on all of the auctions that you want to, of course, just be mindful about planning things out before you bid. Think twice before you make any mistakes!

Small Wins on DealDash

There are hundreds of winners on DealDash every day, and many of those wins are under $200. Here’s why small wins are good.

Smaller wins on DealDash are a great thing. They can be easy to achieve, and no less exciting when they happen. The fireworks are just as bright, sparkly, and exciting to see for a $20 win as for a $200 win, in my opinion. The simple act of winning is enough to put a smile on my face.

Small Wins Are Easier

Are small wins are easier? You bet they are! There could be 50 bidders in the running for a high-value item such as a computer, but usually fewer bidders in the running for the smaller auctions, sometimes you might only be bidding against a few other people. As we all know, the fewer bidders there are in a DealDash auction the higher chance you have at success.

Small Wins are Better BINs

As you probably know, DealDash offers the BIN “Buy It Now” option on all auctions. If you participate in an auction and don’t win, then you can always BIN (Buy It Now) and get the item, free shipping, and all of their bids back to use on another auction. It’s much easier on your budget to BIN a lower valued item than a higher valued item. DealDash realizes that not everyone has the extra cash available to BIN an item that costs $1,000 but most people can BIN an item that is under $100, so they frequently offer items that have a lower value, which equals many more opportunities for a small win.

Small Wins Make Nice Gifts

DealDash is the perfect place to pick up small wins throughout the year and use them as gifts for birthdays and holidays. Sometimes it’s difficult to think of a present to give someone, so why not build up a collection of small wins from DealDash and keep them for the next occasion? There are so many smaller items available on DealDash that it would be very easy to get a few small wins per week and have gifts for your whole family whenever you need them.

I hope this article has you thinking about striving for some small (but awesome) wins on DealDash. I want you to get the most out of your DealDash experience.

Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Big Wins on DealDash

Have you ever had a big win on DealDash? There are hundreds of winners every day, some big and some small.

Most of you reading this DealDash article have probably had at least a few wins on DealDash, but unless you had some really great beginner’s luck they were probably smaller wins. Smaller wins on DealDash are fairly easy, but big wins can be downright difficult.

Why do you think that the smaller wins are easier? Well, there are a few reasons why this could be – starting with the fact that there are usually fewer bidders in the running for the smaller auctions. It could also have something to do with the fact that DealDash offers the BIN “Buy It Now” protection on all auctions. People know if they don’t win the auction outright, then they can always BIN (Buy It Now) and get the item, free shipping, and all of their bids back to use on another auction. Not only that, but they get to keep the “clock time” that they gained by bidding on the item.

People are usually more willing to BIN the item if it has a lower value. You are far more likely to find someone willing to pay $20 for an item than to pay $200 – Even if the $200 item is appealing, not everyone has a spare $200 in their budget to use to BIN the item. Either way, we are all lucky that DealDash offers BIN protection on all auctions, big or small.

What is the biggest item that you have ever won on DealDash? My biggest item was a Neato robotic vacuum. It was an awesome win, and it’s something that I use every day. Do you know how I won? I was willing to BIN this item. It was a little on the expensive side, but since I knew that I was willing to buy it anyway I put enough bids in to get to the BIN price – and I won anyway! With all of the bids plus the final cost of the auction I ended up saving myself over $100 than if I had just ordered it. So there’s the DealDash lesson – bid to BIN, and you might just WIN!

I hope this article has you thinking about your next big win. I want you to get the most out of your DealDash experience. If you’re interested in reading more tips and tricks check out the “Tactics & Tips” section on DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Love that Winning Feeling on DealDash

That winning feeling is pretty common on DealDash. There are hundreds of winners every day!

Do you know the winning feeling that I am talking about? If you’re a frequent bidder on DealDash, of course you do! Winning on DealDash is sometimes very easy, and sometimes downright difficult – but once you see that big “CONGRATULATIONS!” it’s all worth it, and that’s the winning feeling that I’m talking about!

There are some categories that are easier to win than others – I find that video games, DVDs, and Blu-Rays are on the easier side to win. On the flip side of that coin, I find that the gift cards, especially the smaller $10 and $25 ones are more difficult to win. Why? Because most people don’t mind taking a chance on a $10 or $25 gift card to a store that they are planning on going anyway, such as Subway or Dunkin’ Donuts. They know if they don’t win the gift card outright, then they can always BIN (Buy It Now) and get the gift card, free shipping, and all of their bids back to use on another auction. Not only that, but they get to keep the “clock time” that they gained by bidding on the gift card. It’s a great situation to take advantage of the perks!

I have occasionally had awesome luck with winning gift cards, though. I once won a $25 Shell gas gift card for around $3 (plus the cost of bids, so around $5 total) so you just never know what’s going to happen when you bid on DealDash. That’s why they call it entertainment shopping.

Once you have had that winning feeling a few times – why don’t you share it? Have you invited your friends and family to join DealDash? You can’t bid on the same auctions at the same time, but why not share your love of DealDash with your nearest and dearest?

I hope this article has you thinking about your next big win. I want you to get the most out of your DealDash experience. If you’re interested in reading even more tips and tricks check out the “Tactics & Tips” section on DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
