Gather ‘Round for the Story of DealDash

 dealdash story

Once upon a time…There was an amazing company called DealDash. Here is the DealDash story.

DealDash is not quite like any other web site, auction site, or shopping site out there. It is a company that was born out of a bad experience that the company’s founder, William Wolfram had when he was just 16 years old. Read on to learn some interesting history about DealDash.

DealDash was founded on February 22, 2009, just about 8 years ago, when it’s founder, William Wolfram was a teenager. He had a bad experience on another bidding site, and had lost money. As you know, with these other bidding sites, once you use your bids, they’re gone, and there’s no recovering your money.

William had the bright idea to start a similar shopping entertainment website with one distinct and important difference – the ability to re-claim your bids if you didn’t win the auction. And thus, DealDash and the Buy It Now (BIN) policy was created.

DealDash has grown at a strikingly impressive rate since that fateful day in 2009. There are now hundreds of auctions daily, and they run 24 hours per day, 7 days per week. DealDash never stops. DealDash may have started with humble beginnings, but now they boast over 8 million unique registered users. That might sound like a lot of competition, and if you are feeling a bit wary to join in the fun, that’s okay, you can give it a try completely risk-free!

DealDash is absolutely 100% risk-free to try. If you don’t win anything with your first bid pack that you purchase, you may request and receive a refund. Only your first bid pack is fully refundable. Just think, if all auction websites had this policy, William Wolfram might have never started DealDash! That’s the DealDash difference – 100% risk-free shopping entertainment.

  2. What does BIN stand for? Buy It Now. If you do not win an auction, you can get your bids back, by using the unique DealDash Buy It Now option. If you bid 100 times on a $50 Walmart Gift Card and don’t win, you can just buy the item for $50 and get all your bids back for free. You can now re-use your bids to try to win another auction!
  3. How much does DealDash charge for shipping? Nothing! DealDash offers free shipping on absolutely 100% of everything both won and BINned on the site. There is even free shipping on extremely heavy items such as furniture.
  4. How many items per week can you win? You may win up to 9 auctions per week. You can follow how many wins that you have accumulated by logging in and looking at the winning limit slots right next to the bid amount. The system will not allow you to bid after you have reached your limit. All remaining BidBuddies will be automatically cancelled.

  6. What bidding tool does DealDash offer to everyone free of charge? DealDash offers a great bidding tool called the BidBuddy to every single bidder, free of charge. The BidBuddy strategically places bids for you. It waits until the last second to bid. You can put a limit on how many bids will be used, and you can cancel or cancel and re-start it at any point in the auction.
  7. Does DealDash ever give away free bids? Yes!! Anyone who has won an auction for a tangible item (no bid packs or gift cards) can post a photo of themselves with the item and post it on Facebook, Twitter, Google+, and Pinterest to earn bids. There is an article that I wrote detailing exactly how to accomplish this at this link here.
  8. How long do you have to pay for your auction after winning? You have exactly 14 days to pay for your winning auction. You can find your winning auctions on your DealDash dashboard.
