The Perfect Sip & Bid Party With Wine Items on DealDash

Just as soon as the Halloween costumes are put out for clearance sale, the official start to the holiday shopping season begins. Despite the fact that the shopping list for the Thanksgiving feast hasn’t even gone from pen to paper yet, everyone seems in a frenzy to shop ‘til they drop! I’ve decided to just sit back and chill with a glass of wine and create my own “Sip and Bid” party. With a little browsing, I found the most amazing wine-related items on DealDash. Check them out with me.

Wine Glasses and More

Deal Dash has elegant crystal glassware in your choice of white and red wine glasses, champagne glasses and brandy snifters. While I love the purported health benefits of red wine, I recently found my absolute favorite brand and type of wine to be a smooth semi-sweet white wine made in the Finger Lakes of New York state. So for me, the choice is clear—I need both types of wine glasses.

A Stylish Pour

Along with the fantastic glasses available on DealDash, they also have decanters and carafes for that stylish and sophisticated pour at the dinner table. If you’re looking to impress, here’s a great addition to the collection.

Wine Racks and Wooden Bottle Holders

As far as storing those yummy bottles, DealDash has a couple of great options. There’s the handmade wire rack and wooden bottle holders that will look amazing as part of your home and dining décor.

The Perfect Wine Cabinet

If you’re reaaaaally into wines, DealDash has an amazing wine cabinet that stores up to 12 bottles of wine in a showcasing fashion. With this piece, it would be a perfect accompaniment to that wine of the month club you’ve been dying to try.

Store and More

Is the wine cabinet just right or do you want to go bigger? If so, check out the spectacular coffee table that holds up to 24 bottles of wine! This one is truly amazing for the wine lover in your life.

Bundle Up

DealDash has some great bundles that either contain some of the items listed above so be sure to look for those super savings auctions, too!

Keep it Chill

The perfect way to store wine, of course, is in a chilled environment. Be on the lookout at DealDash for wine cellars and coolers specifically designed to keep your classic vino at just the right storage temperatures.

Make you sip and bid responsibly and be sure to set your Bookmarks and Alerts when you find just the right wine-related products for you or your loved ones this holiday season. Happy bidding on DealDash!

Thinking Like a Seasoned DealDash Bidder

If you want to win more DealDash auctions you should start thinking like a seasoned bidder

Even if you’re a newbie that just joined DealDash today, you should start thinking like a seasoned bidder. There are some mistakes that most newbies make on DealDash that you can avoid by trying out this strategy. Read on for more information about thinking like a seasoned bidder on DealDash.

Figure Out How Dealdash Works

DealDash, while fairly self-explanatory to get started on, has many different features that you will want to learn how to use before you start bidding in earnest. For starters, DealDash runs on a “pay to bid” model. So if you want to participate in a DealDash auction, you will need to buy bids first. These bids come in packs of different amounts. DealDash is currently selling packs of 60, 300, 600, 1200, and 2400.

Don’t Bid on Just Anything

Now that you have a better understanding of how DealDash works and You’ve bought some bids, it’s time to browse. Seasoned bidders don’t bid on just anything that’s on the main auction screen. They take their time, do their research, and look through all of the upcoming auctions in their favorite categories.

Buy Bids on Sale

Another thing that seasoned bidders on DealDash know is not to buy bids when they are above .15! DealDash bids can range anywhere in price from .12 each all the way up to .60 each. However, they are frequently on sale for .13, .14, and .15. Why in the world would you buy a 2400 pack of bids at .18 each when you can get them for .13 a piece? That is literally a savings of $120!!! Wouldn’t you rather wait a few days and get such a great deal? That’s how a seasoned bidder thinks, and so should you!

BidBuddy is the Way to Bid

Seasoned bidders on DealDash know that the best way to bid is by using the BidBuddy. When I first started on DealDash I didn’t understand how the BidBuddy worked and I lost quite a few auctions by clicking too slowly while I was bidding.

The BidBuddy is available on every auction, and it doesn’t cost anything to use. If you’d like to use the BidBuddy just open up a DealDash auction that you’re interested in winning. On the screen, you will see a space and a button that says “Book a Bid Buddy”. Click on the space that says “add bids here” and put in the number of bids that you are willing to spend on this particular DealDash auction. Then hit enter to get him started.

Seasoned bidders use the BidBuddy because they know that their internet could fail at any moment, the power could go out, the computer could start updating itself without warning, or any other number of reasons.

Reasons to BIN When You Don’t WIN

If you’re not Buying It Now (BIN) when you don’t win, you’re missing out.

Have you been using the BIN feature on DealDash? You should, because Buying It Now is almost as good as winning the auction. I will explain more down below. However, know that doing a BIN on an auction that you don’t win will take the “sting” out of losing. To find out more about Buying It Now, read on down below.

BIN? What’s That Mean?

BIN is one of the best ideas that DealDash has ever come up with. There is no restriction on who can Buy It Now, other than the fact that you have to have placed at least one bid on that auction. Thus, it’s offered to every bidder in every auction, not just to the first few as I have seen on some other bidding sites. With BIN, you can purchase the item at the retail price that is listed on each and every auction page. Then, DealDash will return all of the bids that you spent on the auction to your bid bank.

Should I Always BIN?

If you’re wondering if you should BIN an auction or not, then you probably should! However, you don’t want to just guess if it makes good financial sense. You just need to do a little math to see how many bids that need to be placed before you reach the retail price.

This is easy to calculate, especially if DealDash is running a Free Auction Weekend promotion. Simply take the retail price of the item and divide it by the amount that you spent on each bid. The answer that you get is the amount of bids that you would need to spend to break even on the auction. For example, if you are bidding on a $100 item and you paid .15 per bid, your break even point would be 667 bids.

If it is not a day when DealDash is running a Free Auction promotion, then you need to estimate how much the auction will end at, and do your calculations from that. For example, if you do a little research and see that the sale $100 item typically ends for a final auction price of 10, then you need to take off that $10 before you do your calculations, so your break even price in this situation would be 600 bids.

If you end up spending the number of bids that you have previously calculated and you still haven’t won the auction, that’s when you know it’s time to BIN the auction. Don’t worry, though, because you will get every single bid that you spent returned to your account when you BIN the item. You will also get free shipping, Free shipping is something that DealDash offers on every item.

Tips From a Winning Bidder on her Two Year DealDash-iversary

It’s no secret that I love DealDash. I signed up five years ago and it took me three years before I actually bought a bid pack and gave it a try. Now it’s my two year “DealDash-iversary” and with that, I’d love to share what I’ve learned from being an active DealDash bidder and hope others will gain some nugget of bidding wisdom from my experiences.

Your First Wins

What I’ve learned about winning is sort of like your first love. You always remember it, but it isn’t always your sweetest. The first time I bid on DealDash, I won three $10 gift cards back-to-back within minutes. I probably spent 10 bids and less than $1 total for $30 worth of gift cards. It was amazing and I was hooked!

Your Greatest Wins

My greatest wins, in all honesty, have been many! The wins I’ve remembered most are a new item I tried dozens and dozens of times to win and finally got and the unexpected big-ticket win I randomly took a chance on and won with just two bids. Wins are great no matter what, but there will be ones you remember with great fondness.

The Great DealDash Learning Curve

When I think back to when I started bidding on DealDash and now, the difference is vast. One of the biggest things I have learned as an active bidder is that there is always something to learn. The tools are endless and available (Winners tab, Previous winners information for individual items, research on best days/times to bid,etc.) to help you navigate the waters and come out with some great wins.

The Best in Customer Service

If it were not for the great Customer Support department at DealDash, I most certainly would have bid goodbye to my Bid Buddy a long time ago. Thankfully, though, I was never afraid to reach out to them to ask questions and voice frustrations and suggestions to the team. They have always represented themselves with a professional, caring, “customer first” demeanor that has kept me sane and bidding! Don’t ever be afraid to reach out to them.

The #1 Must-Have for any DealDash Bidder

In my opinion, if you don’t have patience, you shouldn’t be bidding. It is often a waiting game and if you don’t have patience, you will tend to get very frustrated and overwhelmed. You have to understand the process, tips and techniques of bidding before jumping in feet first. But patience is invaluable when bidding.

Attitude is Everything

Along with patience, a positive attitude goes a LONG way in bidding. There are jumpers—or worse, stompers—and experienced bidders to contend with, among other things. You have to bid with a “win some lose, lose some, but I am going to try like heck to win” attitude, know when to hold ’em and know when to fold ’em. Not taking things personal and persevering with a positive attitude is everything.

The Best Advice I Ever Received on DealDash

The best advice I ever received on DealDash was actually from a Bidder Bio that read, “Thankfully there’s another auction just like this one right around the corner.” That simple sentence made a bell go off in my head that said, “Don’t stress! You can bid on this item again soon!” That helped me relax and I just kept persevering again and again until I won the item I wanted. You rarely win on the first try—but it sure is great when you do!

I sincerely hope you enjoy the successes I have on DealDash over the past year with a little bit of helpful hints and a whole lot of wins! Celebrate your own DealDash-iversary in style and win something great for yourself!
