Want to Win More Auctions? Try These Suggestions…

What can you do to win more auctions on DealDash? Win, win, WIN with these tips.

If you’re a newbie who just signed up today, or a seasoned DealDash veteran, everyone could stand to brainstorm every now and again on ways to get more auction wins. When you stop trying new things your wins grow stagnant. Here are a few tips that will help you get more wins, or at least help you start brainstorming some new techniques.

Make sure that you have enough bids to BIN (Buy It Now) if you don’t win the auction. By having enough bids available in your DealDash account to BIN the item, it means that you won’t have to stop in the middle of the auction to buy more bids. I personally have made the mistake of not having enough bids available to BIN, and in the time that it took to switch over to the section to buy bids, select a bid pack, put in my credit card number, and switch back to the auction I had lost. You may think that you have time to buy bids during an auction, but you just never know. Be prepared, be stocked up on bids!
Keep a list of “overbidders.” I have a list of people that I have either personally come up against or have observed overbid in auctions. There are a few people I have in mind that only go after certain auctions, and in these particular auctions they are not only “all in”, they are MORE than all in, bidding more than the item is worth. If you keep a list in a program like Excel you can add to the list, highlight the list, and then sort by A-Z, so you can quickly look up different bidders names when you enter in an auction. If you notice any of the overbidders in the auction don’t put any bids in. Just wait and watch the auction for a few minutes. Sometimes it seems that these overbidders just throw a few bids in and then come back later. If you see that they aren’t bidding anymore you might be able to win the auction before they come back in. Just wait and watch, then make your move.
Bid on gift cards. Bidding on gift cards might not help you win that particular auction, but you can always BIN, get your bids back, AND get to keep your “time as highest bidder” earning you more bids to win an auction the next time around. Bide your time, be patient, and bid on gift cards to earn clock time towards free bids.

These are just a few tips to help get you thinking about new ways to bid and win more auctions on DealDash! We all want to win, it pays to be a strategist. I hope that this article has been helpful for you. Be sure to check out DealDashBlog every Monday, Wednesday, and Saturday for more tips and articles to help you understand DealDash. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

Time for a New Samsung?

If you’re like me, you go through phones pretty quickly. DealDash has phones you can bid on and win for a great deal.

I am a few steps behind on my phone right now – I currently have two that I am using – a Samsung Galaxy S5, and a Samsung Galaxy Note 4. They are so similar, the Note 4 is just bigger and has the S-Pen which can be extremely helpful for a lot of things, especially for customizing photos. They are both so easy to use and even customize to your own preferences. DealDash also has the Galaxy S6 Edge and even the Galaxy S7 Edge up for bid. If you’d like to check out all of the Samsung phones that DealDash has available, just click on this link here. The Galaxy is a great product, and if you want more Samsung, they also make tablets.

The Galaxy Tab A is the newest and one of the best selling tablets out on the market today. There is both an 8 inch and a 9.7 inch screen available. My in-law’s have the 8 inch Tab A, and they absolutely love it. They mostly take it along to use to take pictures and videos of the grandkids, but my Mother-in-Law also loves to play games on it, and even chat with her friends! If you’d like to check out the Tab A, just click on this link here. If you find an item on the site that isn’t currently scheduled for an auction and says “Coming soon”, simply click the yellow “Alert Me” button. An e-mail will automatically be sent to you when the auction enters the queue. You will receive three e-mails for each alert: one when the auction is scheduled, one 8 hours before the auctions begins, and one more when the auction starts.

After you have gotten any of the Samsung Galaxy phones or tablets, go download the free DealDash app from the Google Play store. It’s very easy to use, and a lot of fun. After you give it a try be sure to go back and rate it 5 stars! Here is the link to go download the DealDash app for free.

If you’re looking to upgrade your smartphone or tablet DealDash and Samsung have you covered. DealDash holds multiple auctions of Samsung products daily, you could be the winner! Go ahead and check out some of Samsung’s newest products; 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!

Resources for Winning at DealDash

There are so many resources out here to help you to win. There are blogs on the DealDash Bidding Site which help you learn how to be a better player, and a better player wins more. There is no doubt about that. I’ve seen inexperienced players, usually because they don’t know what their doing, lose over and over for the same reason, they are Stompers. Stompers come into the auction and place rapid fire bids without using a Bid Buddy.

Which leads me to the next resource, the Bid Buddy. This should be your go to resource to win. The stomper wins a few in the easy category, but they aren’t going to win against the “Seasoned Pro” and there are a lot of them, it’s another testament to how awesome DealDash is, there are bidders who go back to 2009, 2010 and 2011 who are still bidding. Many, many players from 2012, 13, 14. I’m in that crowd. I didn’t use the Bid Buddy at first, that didn’t last though, I quickly learned it was the best way to win.

Your Dashboard, the Dashboard provided by DealDash is a bunch of information about you and your bidding history all in one place. You can see what you’ve won, when, how many bids you used, you can see who you played against. The Dashboard is a fantastic resource and I’ve written blog just on the Dashboard, follow my blog and use the search bar.

Other players mistakes help you win, you bet’cha. This is a resource you will need to tap into over time. There are a lot of players who only play the front of an auction. Get to know who they are, then out last them! The other time to get involved is in the middle of the night. Everyone has set their Bid Buddy, you hope to outlast them, because you are awake!

Don’t underestimate the Winner’s List! It’s a great resource to see who’s playing, who’s winning and what they are winning it for. This is vital information to help you win. Remember, you are winning, that means there is an element of failure. You must be prepared to lose too, but!,…..if you use all the resources at your finger tips you will have better luck and win more auctions.

Low priced bids, no where else will you find such a great prices on bids, this is where the fun comes in. It’s Entertainment Shopping, you “pay to play”,but the odds are in your favor at DealDash. Check the blogs and their Facebook Page to see what the current sale is. You can also see the price of bids right on the top of the auction page.

Use what DealDash has given us to win and then go out and win!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
