Oops…I Made a DealDash Mistake

Don’t worry, everyone makes mistakes. If you want to avoid DealDash mistakes, then read on for some helpful advice…

Making a mistake on DealDash isn’t typically a huge deal. You might lose out on a few bids, or you may end up frustrated, but in general a DealDash mistake is okay. Do you know why? Because it can always be turned into a learning experience to make yourself a better bidder, and that’s a good thing. Look on the positive side, stay excited, and bid on DealDash.

When Are You Bidding?

A big DealDash mistake that I see happening all the time is people are swamping the site during the peak bidding times. If you’re bidding on Friday nights and Saturday and Sunday between around Noon-8PM you’re going to have a difficult time. These are some of the busiest times on DealDash, and it can be really difficult to snag an awesome deal. It can be done, of course, but not as easily.

If you have been making this DealDash mistake, not to worry. There is a very easy solution – bid during the off hours! If you can find auctions that you’re interested in winning in the super early AM, or perhaps when most people are at work, then you should bid on those. No, you don’t have to stay up late or call out of work! Just set up your BidBuddy.

Not Using Your BidBuddy

Speaking of the BidBuddy, if you’re not using him, that’s a major mistake! You DO know how to use the BidBuddy, right? It’s easy! The first thing that you will need to do is pick an auction to bid on. After that, then just input the number of bids that you are willing to spend on it in the BidBuddy box, and click the “Book a BidBuddy” button. It’s the best way to be able to bid on auctions when you can’t be online, and it’s perfect for bidding on auctions during non-peak times when you’re busy with other things.

Loving Your DealDash Experience

DealDash’s goal is to have everyone love their experience on the site. Here are some ideas to get the most out of it.

If you’re a newbie and you haven’t been having a great experience on DealDash, you might not be using the site to the fullest extent. It’s hard to consistently win auctions if you don’t know what you are doing, and that’s where the DealDash Blog comes in to help. We want you to love DealDash and have a great experience every time, even if you don’t win, and the way to do that is to learn everything about DealDash that you can!

Being an Excellent Bidder

How can you learn to be an excellent bidder if you’re new to the site? There is an easy answer to that, and it is to watch the more experienced bidders in the big auctions. Even if you’re not planning on bidding on a larger auction such as a TV or video game system you should still watch some of those auctions as they are happening.

By watching the more experienced bidders in the bigger auctions you will get a much better idea of how to develop your own bidding style. When you’ve decided on a bidding style that you would like to use, then it’s time to start bidding in auctions yourself.

Choosing the Correct Auctions to Bid On

Before you start bidding you’ll need to purchase a bid pack. The bid packs range from around 50 to 2,000! After buying the bid pack you can figure out exactly which auction that you would like to enter. You can start with an auction that is currently in progress, as long as the final auction price hasn’t reached the $5 “No Jumper Limit.”

You can start with an auction that is currently in progress, as long as the final auction price hasn’t reached the $5 “No Jumper Limit.” You may also choose to enter an auction that is happening in the near future by loading up your BidBuddy with the appropriate number of bids to reach the BIN (Buy It Now) price.

Choosing an auction to bid in is one of the most fun parts about DealDash! Personally, I would suggest starting off with a gift card auction. That way if you have reached the BIN (Buy It Now) price you can simply buy the gift card for the regular face-value, receive all of your bids back, and also get free shipping. It’s a no-risk auction when you bid on a gift card that you would have purchased anyway such as a gas gift card.

I hope this article has encouraged you to learn more about DealDash. You should definitely check out DealDash’s “Tips & Tricks” section on the site. It’s full of great information that you will find helpful when bidding on DealDash. Just click this link right here and you can check it out. Good Luck and Happy Bidding, everyone!

I haven’t Seen You Around DealDash

Hello there new bidder! I’m glad to see that you have decided to give DealDash a try. Here are some things to keep in mind when playing on DealDash.

Being a new bidder on DealDash is a very exciting experience. If you’ve been bidding on other auction sites, you are really in for a treat, because DealDash is a very different and very special website. There are a few things that you should know before you jump right in, though. Read on for some important DealDash information.

Buying Bids

When you first decide that you would like to be a bidder on DealDash, you need to open an account. This is very easy to do, you just need to sign up with your name and email.

After you sign up, you need to buy your first bid pack. Your first bid pack of 60 bids is $36. Don’t feel suspicious that you need to buy bids, because if for some reason you don’t enjoy DealDash this amount will be fully refunded to you. There is a 100% satisfaction guarantee, and if you decide that DealDash isn’t for you then just contact customer service and they will help you.

What Do You Do Next?

After buying your first bid pack you can bid in auctions. Typically there are some special auctions available on the main auction page for new bidders. These “newbie” auctions have less competition and are easier to win. After you have won a few auctions and used up your initial bid pack you will want to buy another bid pack, and luckily Deal Dash is usually running some sort of sale that lowers the price of bids to somewhere between .13-.18.

After you have won a few auctions and used up your initial bid pack you will want to buy another bid pack, and luckily Deal Dash is usually running some sort of sale that lowers the price of bids to somewhere between .13-.18. On very special occasions such as Christmas and New Year’s Day the bid price has even dropped to .12!

BIN, Explained

“What in the world is BIN?” You might ask. That’s a great question! BIN is an acronym for “Buying It Now”. If you have been bidding on an item that you really want and you have bid so much that you have spent the retail price of the item in bids, all you have to do is hit the “Buy It Now” button. After you pay for the item Deal Dash will give you back all of the bids you used trying to win the item. You will also receive fast, free shipping on your item. So you see, BIN is really the “secret sauce” that makes DealDash so special.

Don’t Get in Over Your Head on DealDash

Bidding on DealDash can be so exciting that it’s easy to get caught up in the moment, and get in over your head. Here are some ways to keep yourself afloat.

DealDash doesn’t want you to get in over your head. DealDash wants you to bid responsibly and enjoy playing in the auctions. However, sometimes bidding and winning are just so much fun that it’s easy to get carried away. And once you get carried away and go over your bidding budget then you’re unhappy. DealDash wants you to enjoy your shopping entertainment experience. Here are some suggestions from DealDash to keep you from getting in over your head.

The main way that you can keep yourself from getting in over your head is setting strict bidding limits for yourself for each auction, and sticking to them. If you say that you’re only going to spend 100 bids on a particular auction, and you know that you have a very fierce competitive spirit and it’s hard for you to stop bidding when you’re in the moment, simply input your 100 bid budget into your BidBuddy and walk away. The BidBuddy is there for you to use however you like, from helping you bid while you are asleep or at work, or in this case to help you stick to your bidding budget.

Another way to keep your head above water while bidding is to bid on items you would buy anyway such as gift cards for K-Mart, Sears, fast food restaurants, Target and Wal-Mart, or even household items that you use daily such as laundry detergent pods. Remember, if you have gone over your bid limit and reached the BIN price on the item, use the “Buy it Now” option and pay retail price for the item. DealDash will when refund all of the bids you used on that item, and you can try again another day. This is really a great option for you if you tend to get carried away while you’re bidding on DealDash.

These are just a few helpful guidelines for keeping your budget and bids in check while playing on DealDash. It’s easy to get carried away, just try to follow my suggestions: remember to set a budget, use your BidBuddy, and keep calm. See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.
