Oops I Did it Again…On DealDash!

DealDashNo one is perfect, and that includes bidding on DealDash. Here are some things you might want to avoid while bidding.

Do you want to avoid DealDash mistakes? We all would! This blog article will take you through some of the more common DealDash mistakes, and how to avoid them. What mistakes do you see people making while using DealDash? Do you have any ideas how to avoid them so you don’t make the same mistakes? Read on for more information from DealDash.

Don’t Jump In too Late

A  mistake that I see people often make on DealDash is entering an auction when it has almost reached the $5 No Jumper Limit. Now, this is completely allowed, of course, but I still think that this is a strategic mistake. Why? Because if they auction is down to just 2 or 3 people and it has almost reached the $5 No Jumper Limit then those few people feel kind of an “ownership” over this particular auction and probably won’t let it go without a fight.

I have seen many people say that they will overbid past the BIN (Buy It Now) because they know that the person who just joined the auction will most likely bid for a while. Bidding past the BIN price is risky, but some people just can’t resist trying to rack up more “clock time” with the TATHB (Time As The Highest Bidder) perk.

Not Letting Your Buddy Help

Do you use the BidBuddy in each and every auction? You should! The BidBuddy is there to help you win against your competition, why wouldn’t you use him? By using the BidBuddy, you have the best chance at winning the auction.

The BidBuddy is just as easy (if not easier) to use than single bidding. Simply fill him up with as many bids that you would like to spend on an auction and let him work his magic. Don’t make the mistake of not using the BidBuddy – he’s free and available to use on every auction.

Don’t Throw Away Your Bids! Use BIN!

 

While there is always a winner in each and every DealDash auction, it won’t always be you. If you try to only bid on things that you would normally buy at the store such as clothing, then you can BIN them if you don’t win. BINning an auction just takes a click of the button. After you’re done bidding and would like to BIN the item, just click the “Buy It Now” button, and after you have paid you will receive all of your bids back in your account. In addition to that, you’ll get free shipping on the item as well.

DealDash Heroes: United States Air Force

DealDash

Welcome to the newest DealDash series, DealDash Heroes! Today we are going to be talking a little bit about the United States Air Force.

The United States Air Force is one of the seven branches of American uniformed services that also includes the Army, Navy, Marines, Coast Guard, United States Public Health Service Commissioned Corps, and finally, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration Commissioned Officer Corps. All of these branches of uniformed services are extremely important, but today we are going to focus on the Air Force. Here is a little bit more information about the Air Force, their history, and their importance to our country.

Air Force History

The Air Force originally started as a branch of the Army and became its own entity on September 18th of 1947. The Air Force is the most recent branch of our military to be formed. You probably aren’t surprised to know that the Air Force is in charge of protecting our air and space, did you know that they are also responsible for protecting our cyber space as well? As the most recent and technically savvy branch of the United States Military, the Air Force is in charge of keeping us safe from cyber criminals.

Presidental Airmen

We have two former presidents who were also in the Air Force. In 1937, Ronald Reagan enlisted as a reservist in the Air Force and was ordered to active duty in April 1942. He left active duty at the rank of captain on December 9, 1945. Ronald Reagan was part of a special unit that made films for the Air Force. By the time Ronald Reagan’s enlistment was over, his unit had produced over 400 training films for the Air Force.

Our other presidential airman was George W. Bush, who joined the Texas Air National Guard of the U.S. Air Force in 1968. George W. Bush trained as a fighter pilot, and in 1973 was transferred to the Air Force Reserve. George W. Bush was honorably discharged at the rank of first lieutenant in 1974.

The Air Force Tracks Santa

Starting in December of 1955, there were ads in the newspaper telling kids that they could call Santa to find out his current location. The ads included a phone number. The number that was listed in the ads actually called the U.S. Air Defense Command. The colonel on duty ordered his team to give all kids information on jolly old St. Nick’s “current location.” This tradition now handles calls from over 200 countries, and also offers online tracking as well.

 

How Can We Thank the Air Force Airmen?

The airmen (and women, but they are all called airmen) are brave individuals that protect our freedom. We should all be grateful to them and show our appreciation for their selfless acts of courage. How can we show our appreciation to our Air Force airmen?

There are a few ways that you can thank airmen in the air force. There is a wonderful website that you can visit called http://anyairman.com. This website will give you the address of a random airman so that you can send them a letter, card or care package. You can also choose to donate any amount of money, large or small, on the website that will be used to make care packages for airmen.

Another way that you could help an airman is to contact your local veteran’s hospital and ask if you could visit or volunteer. Some veterans that are in the hospital don’t get any visitors, and this would be a wonderful way to show your appreciation.

Luxury Items on DealDash

DealDash

Do you have champagne tastes on a grape juice budget? Try out your skills on DealDash for luxury items.

Loving fancy and expensive items is a bit of a weakness of mine, but as a mom of three, I don’t have a lot of extra money in the budget for frivolous items. Sure, there is plenty of money for household needs, but for beautiful jewelry and art? Not so much. Luckily, DealDash has a large selection of jewelry, home decor, and art for those of us who like the finer things in life. Read on for more information.

Home Decor the DealDash Way

Do you love works of fine art, statues, and fountains? Are you a little short on cash, though, and don’t have extra money to make your house look like a fine hotel? No problem! All of these items are up for bid on DealDash and can be yours if you’re the final bidder in the auction. There are expensive items like these up for auction every single day, and some of them are won for literally pennies on the dollar. Of course, some of them end up going for much more, but the majority end up with a final auction fee of less than $20.

Electronics A-Plenty

 If you have an old TV, a clunky old desktop, or a flip phone cell, then it’s time you visited the DealDash Electronics and Computers category. This category has everything you could ever wish for to furnish your home with the electronics of your dreams. If you’re a regular bidder on the Electronics and Computers category, then your friends and family will be amazed with all of the wonderful electronics that they see in your home the next time they come visit.

What if I Don’t Win?

We call can’t be the big winner every time. There is always one big winner in each auction and other people who don’t win. DealDash realizes that people don’t want their bidding to be in vein, though, and offers a solution to all of the people who bid but didn’t win. It’s called Buy It Now. Bidders affectionately refer to it as BIN.

Have you ever “BINned” an item? It’s easy, and when you BIN an item for the listed price you will get every single one of your bids back, the item you wanted, and free shipping on each item. Since DealDash cares about it’s bidders, you will also get to keep the “clock time” that you accrued while placing bids, which leads to free bids when you “free bid meter” has filled up.
