DealDash Blog

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

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

In the past eight years, DealDash has grown from a small to a rather large company.  In spite of the fact that the DealDash support team now handles a much 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.

Since I have been a DealDash customer, I won more than 700 auctions and all of my orders have arrived in excellent condition. Considering the large number of items sent, I think that is an outstanding record.  Don’t you?

If anything were to go wrong with my orders, I know the DealDash support team will fix it to my complete satisfaction. Three times they offered me a similar substitute item and it was always of equal or greater value.

Therefore, I never worry about the quality of the products I win or whether or not shipment and delivery will be made in a timely manner.  Many times I receive my orders sooner than I expect, but if shipment is delayed (especially with handmade items), they always let me know. Best of all, DealDash now provides tracking numbers so it is easy to know exactly when to expect delivery.

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

Can you win using the Buy-It-Now option on DealDash.com?

Answer: No, but you can prevent yourself from being a loser by using BIN. That’s right. If you do the math, and you figure out at what point, you would be better off using BIN, then you will at least break even.

Let’s say you bought all your bids on sale for 15 cents each and you are bidding on a $50 gift card. At what point would you be over-bidding? It’s important to know this information ahead of time. If you continue to bid above and beyond the value of the auction, you have reached the point where you will lose even if you win, but how would you figure that out?

First, you would divide .15 (cost of each bid) into $50.00. You will come up with about 333. That’s a good starting point. But you must also remember to consider the closing cost of the auction. To learn the total cost of winning an auction, you must add the cost of the bids used, plus the closing cost of the auction. You do not want the total cost to be more than the retail value of the auction.

For example:

• On a “Free-to-the-winner” special feature, you can place all 333 bids before going over the total value of the auction because there is no cost to the winner. At that point, however, you are better off using BIN to purchase the card and get all your bids back free because placing any bids beyond that would put you over the full value of the $50 gift card.
• On a “50-percent-off” special feature, let’s say the auction closes at $40. That means you will have to pay $20 (half) of the $40. Now you would take $50 (value of the gift card) minus $20 (final closing cost to you) and get $30. Then you divide .15 (cost of each bid) into $30. Therefore, you would learn that you do not want to use more than 200 bids in the auction or you would be over-bidding. If the bid is up to that amount and you have already used 200 bids, you are better off doing a BIN.

Remember, one thing worse than losing an auction is by over-bidding the total value of the auction and becoming a losing winner.
