After being a participant on DealDash for over a year,\u00a0 l have learned a few things.\u00a0 I have won several items on Deal Dash but\u00a0my<\/span> favorite stories are the lucky ones.<\/h2>\n

By sheer chance and the right time I won an item for one bid!\u00a0 I booked the bid buddy with one bid to get me into the auction and in the morning discovered I won the auction!\u00a0 So the transaction total was .16 cents, however it was a “free auction”. That means at the end of the auction, you just pay the price of the bids used and 1\u00a2 to process the transaction.<\/p>\n

Here are a few bidding tips to keep in mind when playing on DealDash.<\/p>\n

Free Auction Promotions <\/strong><\/h3>\n

One thing to keep in mind when bidding in a free auction, is that due to it costing only a penny, people are free to bid more since the price does not climb. So you need to be patient<\/em> because sometimes the value exceeds retail in the bidding wars, with so many bidders, and how committed they are.<\/p>\n

A few words about bid jumpers <\/strong><\/h3>\n

These are the people who bid immediately after your bid is placed and don’t let the clock count down. This kills the clock time which gives us free bids from DealDash.\u00a0 Don’t let the bid jumpers dissuade you from bidding because they will eventually stop when they realize bidders are not giving in.\u00a0 It is a tactic.\u00a0 Most let the clock run down.\u00a0 It takes patience<\/em> and you need to watch the auction.<\/p>\n

Use the Bid Buddy tool<\/strong><\/h3>\n

It is advantageous because in the end, it bids at the last seconds on the clock, and you can’t beat the clock!<\/p>\n

Overbidding does not make sense<\/strong><\/h3>\n

Calculate the cost of bids plus the cost of the auctioned item and that is the price you should not exceed. \u00a0If you lose the auction use the buy it now feature and get your bids back.\u00a0 Some people bid heavily, some bid light.\u00a0 As you watch, you will learn bidding styles of other bidders.\u00a0 It is a learning game.\u00a0 What to do and what not to do.\u00a0 Some will give tips in there personal bio which\u00a0I have found useful before.<\/p>\n

In short, DealDash is fun and takes patience<\/em>.\u00a0 Some auctions end after a short while, while others may take a long time – it really just depends on the item, how many bidders are in the auction, bidding styles, etc.<\/p>\n

Give Deal Dash a try.\u00a0 You can’t lose bidding on the gift cards, if you were planning on purchasing them anyway, so give it a try and save some money!<\/p>\n

Good Luck!<\/p>\n
