Night Bidding for the Best Deal

I’ve been bidding on DealDash for about two years now. One of the bidding strategies I have used to help win auctions is night bidding when everyone else is sleeping except BidBuddies.

I have found that a lot of the auctions tend go for low prices during the twilight hours of night bidding. Although staying awake is not the easiest thing to to do, I’ve found that if I just peruse the upcoming auctions that start after midnight, I’ll usually be pleasantly surprised at the number of wins people are able to get.

Think about it! Most people want to be sleeping so they will put on their BidBuddy and hope for the best when they get up the next morning. If they are smart, they have calculated in advance the number of bids they are willing and what makes sense to use throughout the night based on the value of the item. One can probably calculate pretty close as to when the other persons BidBuddy may expire taking into account bids were likely purchased at 15¢ a piece and the fact they may have earned free bids with time as highest bidder rewards.

Here’s one example of DealDash auctions all which sold while someone was night bidding between the hours of 12am and 3am on October 7th, 2014.

In my experience night bidding can be rewarding however also challenging as it requires patience and observation. Patience to watch and identify the BidBuddy bidders to be the only ones bidding and observing how frequently they are bidding. Once it gets down to two or three bidders that are using their BidBuddy, it’s probably a good time to jump in the auction circle and start bidding yourself.

Granted, there aren’t as many awake and active bidders at night which is a good thing for night bidding owls because it gives them more to choose from and more chances to win auctions at lower costs compared to the day hours. The auctions on DealDash are unpredictable and that’s what makes shopping on DealDash fun. While there’s no guarantee night bidding will score you that elusive item you’ve had your tired eyes on, I think you may have a better chance during the night.

What time do you find to be the best time for bidding on DealDash?

A little about myself: I like to frequent DealDash because it is fun and entertaining. I’ve gone to other sites but find myself coming back to DealDash because of the ability to buy it now and get your bids back if you lose an auction.

What’s on Your DealDash Wish List?

Dealdash has so many wonderful high ticket items that I have not had the fortune of winning….yet!

My hope is that one day in the not to distant future, I will be lucky enough to win one of these popular items many other customers have gotten such great deals on.

1. One item frequently up for auction on DealDash are Televisions of various sizes. I would love to eventually win one of these high ticket items. I have bid on many of them in the past, but I have not gone “all in” on one yet. Partly because some of the final auction prices scare me off just a bit and because I’m not completely ready to pay full price in case I lose. When I’m ready to use the Buy it Now, that will be my time to “go all in”.

However, every once in awhile, I’ll see the final auction price on a nice TV which sells ridiculously cheap and makes me wish I would have tried harder.

Check out the TV this customer won with just 206 bids and final price of $27.19!! This is a brand new 50-inch curved Samsung LED 4K Ultra Smart TV with built in WiFi so you can browse Facebook and other favorite sites. What a deal!

2. The ever elusive KitchenAid mixer. Now I admit I have one I bought several years ago on sale at Kohl’s but my daughter would love to have one of her own too. So, I have been trying to win one for her as a gift. This would make a great gift which I hope to give to my daughter.

This gentlemen won his KitchenAid mixer on DealDash with just 83 bids and final price of $26.83.

Here’s another customer who won a pro 600 series KitchenAid mixer with 39 bids and final price of $2.97 – WOW!!

3. A desktop computer for my Mom makes my wish list and would be a wonderful gift. Every time I go to visit my Mom I jump on her computer to, of course, surf DealDash. However, her computer is many years old and slow as a snail so I get frustrated just waiting for the page to change. She also has a 15″ clunky version monitor, not the flat models of today, therefore could really use an upgrade.

4. A Movie projector!! I am stillI trying to win a movie projector for the 92″ movie screen I won for $1.78 on DealDash. This would complete the entertainment center for sure!

So this is my short list of “wishes”. We shall see what the future holds. When I do win, I’ll be posting my photos to DealDash’s Facebook page so I can earn hundreds of free bids to help me win even more!!

One thing I have always greatly appreciated about DealDash.com is its free, fast and dependable shipping and delivery services.

Having orders I need delivered right to my front door is very convenient. It saves time and the money it would cost for gas for me to drive to a store.

I have been a DealDash.com customer since Feb. 8, 2012. So far, I won 525 auctions and I have received every single one of the 525 orders in excellent condition. Considering the large number of items sent, I think that is an outstanding record. Don’t you?

In spite of the fact that the DealDash support team now handles an even larger number of customers, auction wins and orders than ever before, I have complete faith and trust in the fairness and honesty of this company. If anything ever did go wrong with my orders, I know the DealDash support staff would fix it to my complete satisfaction. Therefore, I never worry about the quality of the products I win or whether or not the shipment and delivery will be made in a timely manner. In fact, most of the time, I receive my orders from DealDash.com much faster than I expect.

Thank you, DealDash.com for your free shipping and speedy, superb delivery services!

End of Summer Welcomes Winter Holiday Shopping

I guess we all pretty much have seen the end of summer. The last picnic, the last trip to the beach, the last short and t-shirt day.

A lot of lasts as summer ends, but just think of all the enjoyment we deal dashers got from our restaurant gift cards, gasoline gift cards, and retail store gift cards we won on DealDash.com! At least for me. my long summer weekend journeys included trips to southern Illinois, southern Ohio and the Wisconsin Dells. These trips were for travelling baseball team tournaments.

I was able to use gasoline gift cards I won on DealDash in all three states. I used Subway cards at various locations and even bought the baseball team doughnuts at Dunkin’! I was honored with the title “Team Grandma”. I could not have been so generous if I had not saved these cards for the past few months. I either win or bin on DealDash for the cards I know I am going to be able to use on the road. Being fortunate winning some really good auctions on DealDash, I save money and am able to help my “team” if need be.

DealDash.com allows you to buy it now and get your bids back too. If I am not successful on an auction, buying it now makes perfect sense. I get all of my bids back for free, (no other site does that) and then I get to try again. My entire family loves DealDash.com and all the wonderful items and gift cards they have available. So, while the end of summer is here, we can look ahead to the winter holidays which will mean a lot of bidding and winning, too!

We all want to know how to win on DealDash and the free bids are a major step to help therefore, you should do the same with their other social sites like Twitter, Pinterest and Google Plus! With Twitter you have to make it short because they only allow so many letters. I would wright something like “I won this Major League Baseball w/ Cube Display Box @DealDash for 1 penny”. You have to make sure you tag DealDash using the @ symbol or # symbol otherwise they won’t get the notification.

You can also PIN IT too. Post your photo on pinterest.com with another short saying similar to the others. Because you’re collecting so many free bids you will begin to see how to win on DealDash.

I take my 110 to 300 free bids and pick one auction and go for it!! Win or not I’m not out anything. The more times you can bid on something, the better chance you have to win. You must use the BidBuddy as this will help conserve your bids! I think this is the only chance you have to win an auction without spending all of your bids.

When I get my free bids I go for something like a gift card. This way I get something tangible for my time. Then I take what is left and go for the gold and bid on something I may not normally bid on like a TV or computer. At this point I say just go for it! These are FREE Bids you’re playing with so why not?
