Are You on Team Samsung?

Are you on Team Android or Team Apple? Being the well-rounded tech-lover that I am, I actually like both! I will tell you though, the best phone that I have ever owned was a Samsung!

I love my Samsung Galaxy S5, it’s an awesome phone! So easy to use and even customize to your own preferences. It’s so easy to use the internet on it, and all of my favorite apps are free. The Galaxy is a great product, but Samsung makes so many more things than just phones.

The Galaxy Tab and the Galaxy Note are actually two of the best selling tablets out on the market today, they are so popular with all age ranges from kids up to seniors. Everyone at my house, from the oldest to the youngest loves the Galaxy Tab; My Fiance’s mother, who is retired, loves to play Candy Crush and Bejeweled on her Galaxy Tab, you should see some of her scores! My kids, who are 3 and 7, love to play Angry Birds and Fruit Slice together. So you see, the Samsung Galaxy Tab really has something for everyone.

Another great product that Samsung makes that I have and use every day is my Samsung TV. Samsung makes a huge range of TVs, from 19″ TVs under $200, all the way up to the top of the line Samsung 46″ Class LED HDTV Smart TV that runs just over $1,100. You know when you buy a Samsung TV it will last – one of our Samsung’s is 7 years old and still running just as well as when we bought it.

The original Samsung Electric Industries was started in Korea way back in 1969, and the Samsung that we know and love that manufactures our favorite consumer electronics became a subsidiary in 1988. You might be surprised to know that Samsung actually manufactures some of the batteries, flash memories, and hard drives that are in Apple, HTC, Sony, and Nokia products! Samsung actually became the world’s largest technology company in 2011, a title which was formerly held by Apple.

If you’re looking to upgrade your smartphone, TV, laptop, or camera, DealDash and Samsung have you covered. DealDash holds multiple auctions of Samsung products daily. Go ahead and check out some of Samsung’s newest products, including the Samsung Gear 2 Smart Watch; And remember, if you don’t win the auction, you can Buy It Now (BIN), and get all of your bids back. Good luck everyone!

3 Tips for Earning Free Bids on DealDash.com

DealDash loves its bidders as much as bidders love winning fantastic deals in the auctions, which is one of the reasons why DealDash is always looking for ways to make shopping online cheaper and more fun. One of the things that bidders seem to love the most are the different ways DealDash gives them opportunities to earn free bids, which helps them save even more money. While more experienced bidders have learned to use these to save big bucks, some bidders don’t even know about them. So here’s a quick breakdown on the best ways to earn free bids to use on DealDash!

#1: The Time as Highest Bidder Meter

The “Time as Highest Bidder Meter” is a small bar sitting at the bottom of your screen when logged in to your account. As you bid in the auctions, it calculates how much time you spend as the highest bidder in a particular auction. Once it fills up, you can click on it to claim free bids. The amount of free bids you can earn starts small, but it increases as you move up to higher levels!

This basically rewards bidders for spending more time as the highest bidder in an auction, so it’s a great way to earn something just for participating in an auction.

#2: Facebook Promotions

Almost everyone has a Facebook account nowadays, so it’s really easy to get free bids just by participating in the DealDash community. If you post pictures of your wins on DealDash’s Facebook page, you’re given free bids to use in the auctions. Not only that, but once a week the person who posts the best picture wins a free $500 gift card (vendors include Amazon, Walmart, and more)! This is a great way to subsidize bidding, and you can earn as many as 200 (list price for 200 bids is $120) bids just for posting.

#3: Special Offers

DealDash runs regular promotions where bids are sold at an incredible discount, but they also run promotions for its community that aren’t featured on the website. If you’re a regular bidder and want to get the most bang for your bucks, it’s important that you keep an eye on DealDash‘s various community pages. In addition to our incredibly popular Facebook page, you should also keep on eye on our Pinterest site, Google+ page, and of course this blog.

As already mentioned, DealDash is always thinking up new ways to reward bidders, so keep your eyes and ears open and don’t hesitate to leave your own suggestions in the comments!

The BidBuddy vs. Manual Bidding: Which one is your winning approach on DealDash.com?

Experienced DealDash bidders know how invaluable the BidBuddy can be to formulating a winning strategy, and it’s been written about here before to make sure bidders new to DealDash understand the importance of learning about the BidBuddy. To put it simply, most auctions are won using it, and bidders who use the BidBuddy tend to win more auctions using less bids.

However, some people don’t like the BidBuddy. There are a number of reasons why some people don’t like using it: some people feel like they don’t control their bidding, some people find it makes it easy to overbid, and others simply find setting it up too difficult to bother with. Whatever the reason may be, single bidders are left to watching the auction and clicking away whenever they want to place their bids. And even though the BidBuddy is an invaluable bidding tool, using it or not using it doesn’t make a winner: the difference between winning and losing auctions is a matter of strategy. With the right approach to the auctions, there’s no reason why manual bidders cannot win an auction against users who rely entirely on their BidBuddy.

Here are a couple of advantages to placing bids manually, and how you can capitalize on them to win more auctions:

Manual Bidding Makes you Focus on Using your Bids

One of the most important advantages to the BidBuddy is that it allows bidders to automate their bidding, thereby freeing up their time to do other things while still participating in the auction. There’s no doubt that this really helps them stay in more competitive auctions, but this isn’t without drawbacks. Loading up a BidBuddy and then leaving the computer means bidders aren’t paying attention to what happens, and if one or more other users loads up their BidBuddy to bid against you, everyone will end up placing bids needlessly (see the next point for more details). The value of watching the auctions and being critical about what other users are doing cannot be understated, and the best way to do this is by staying at the computer and clicking each time you want to place a bid. By doing so, you’ll be putting thought into each bid you place, and this is a great way for new bidders to learn about how to bid to win on DealDash!

Nobody Wins when Everyone Uses the BidBuddy

When two or more users have active BidBuddies in an auction, the BidBuddies will place their bids in sequence until they’re either turned off or they run out of bids. Anyone watching the auction will see this “tell” and understand that putting a BidBuddy in the auction, or even placing a bid if there’s more than two BidBuddies running, is a waste of bids. Since people using the BidBuddy aren’t necessarily paying this much attention, they’re more likely to waste their bids than their manual bidding counterparts, who will enjoy the advantage of waiting, watching, and conserving their bids to get the most out of them. If you’re a manual bidder use this to your advantage by saving your bids until you start to see the BidBuddies drop out of the auction. This might take a bit of time, but you’ll be saving bids and can ultimately win more for less!

Manual Bidding Makes your Strategy Less Transparent

Because BidBuddies place their bids at regular intervals, experienced DealDashers can usually tell when they’re being placed from a BidBuddy (but not necessarily how many bids they’ve allotted to their BidBuddy). By not relying as much on your BidBuddy you’re free to make your behavior a lot less predictable to other bidders, which is a huge advantage. Winning an auction means you have to outsmart your competition, and so denying them information gives you a leg up on them.

While all of these advantages are good things to keep in mind, they aren’t guaranteed to make you win more auctions. The best approach is to mix and match your bidding and make use of the advantages to both single bidding and the BidBuddy. Rather than load up your BidBuddy and walk away OR sitting by the computer and clicking each time you want to place a bid, try switching up your strategy as the auctions progress to make the most out of both approaches. This will help you maximize the benefits of the BidBuddy and manual bidding, and make sure you’re prepared to beat out everyone to get the best deals available on DealDash!

How to Win a Great Deal Before Mother’s Day at DealDash.com

Being a mother is no easy job. It involves working long hours for no money, and often involves doing thankless work: if I were to offer you a job with these benefits I’d expect to be laughed right out of the room. But despite the lack of benefits, mothers across the US do their best day in and day out to improve the lives of those around them. And not just their children and families, but their communities too!

But now Mother’s Day is right around the corner, so it’s everyone’s chance to finally go to their Mom, their friends’ mothers, their daughters, and anyone else who proudly calls themselves “Mom” and tell them what a great job they’re doing.

Well what does all this have to do with DealDash? Besides having our own mothers, we know that lots of people are looking to do something extra special this year for Mother’s Day. Whether that means getting some nice gifts or going out for a nice meal with the Moms in your life, DealDash is making itself the go-to place for your Mother’s Day shopping. You can save big on some gift cards to spend on fun things to do during the weekend, or get a new laptop for only a few dollars! However you choose to recognize the Moms in your life, DealDash wants to help you make this Mother’s Day a great one. Here are three easy to follow tips to help you budget your Mother’s Day shopping on DealDash, and save big bucks while giving all the Moms in your life a nice thank you!

#1: – Create a budget and stick to it!

If you want to save money on DealDash, it’s important to know how much you feel comfortable spending, and then bid on auctions you know you can win within that budget. This starts with you. Take a look at the current promotion and decide how many bids you can buy, then find auctions you can win within that range. Don’t bid on bigger items unless you know that you can afford to see the auction all the way through. While you can never be 100% sure on what the final sales price of an item will be, you can do some research and learn how much the average sales price is and how much the item has sold for recently. You can use these as benchmarks and plan your bidding strategy accordingly, but don’t automatically assume that things will work out as you plan. Know your limits, and be prepared to stick with them!

#2: – Bid on items that you know you’ll get great value from!

Another way you can be sure to get a great Mother’s Day gift is by bidding on items you know you can get the best value from. Don’t just bid on something that you think someone will like, but bid on things that you know you’d buy anyway. This makes the “Buy it now” option much more valuable. For example, gift cards are almost as good as cash, they make great gifts, and they’re available in denominations that suit all budgets. Bidding on gift cards is a great way to do Mother’s Day shopping on DealDash. If you don’t win you can just buy the card and then you get all your bids back to use in another auction. Now that’s smart shopping!

#3: – Think About the People You’re Buying For First

There are certain things that almost everyone’s mother will love, but you’re not buying for almost everyone. Think about what the person you’re shopping for would really love, and try to find something a little unique to buy for them. Holidays like Mother’s Day tend to convince people to buy stereotypical gifts, and so traditional retailers will have sales on things that most people want. DealDash deals work a bit differently: if more people want an item then the auction will be more difficult to win. Try to keep this in mind when doing your shopping. If everyone wants to get someone special in their life an iPad, it might be a good time for you to bid on a Kindle. Smart DealDashers know that the best deals are the ones that other bidders are missing out on, and this gives you the perfect opportunity to win a fantastic gift for CHEAP!

These are just a couple of suggestions on how you can get a great Mother’s Day gift for someone, but there are tons of pieces of advice contained on old blog posts that you should check out. And don’t forget that pieces of advice like these are no substitute for experience and innovation, so don’t be afraid to experiment and apply some out of the box thinking!
