The next best thing to buying cheap bids on sale is conserving the ones you already have!<\/h2>\n

You might ask “How am I supposed to win if I am being thrifty with my bids?” Well, there are a few different ways to try and conserve your bids for another day, and I will try to teach you about some of the easiest ways to save your bids for later.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first way is pretty obvious – only bid on items that you are willing to “go all the way” on, do your math so you know when to stop bidding to\u00a0break even with your bids + final auction cost, then stop bidding!\u00a0Remember, if you do your math calculations and you have reached the BIN price, use the \u201cBuy it Now\u201d option and pay retail price for the item. DealDash will when refund all of the bids you used on that item, and you can try again another day.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The next way to conserve bids is to enter the auction late. On most days at DealDash you have to get at least 1 bid in before the auction price has hit $5. These are called “No Jumper” auctions, and it basically means that DealDash doesn’t want someone who has no bids invested in an item to get to win it with just a few when other bidders have been trying hard (for hours sometimes) to win the item. However, DealDash has decided that $5 is the magic price, and as long as you get your first bid in before then you are good to sit back and wait until the competition is less fierce, say when there are only 3 or 4 people left in the auction. Some days the\u00a0No Jumper auctions start at $3 instead of $5, but it’s always marked very clearly\u00a0at the top of the homepage, so there’s no confusion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The last way to conserve bids that I would like to talk about today is a little bit on the risky side – Going Mobile!! Sometimes there’s a particular auction that I am interested in that I won’t be at home to catch, so normally I would just load up my BidBuddy with the appropriate number of bids to break even if I win, and hope for the best. However, now that DealDash has made a great mobile site it’s easy to bid “on the go.” This way I can monitor the auction from my phone and step in at just the right moment instead of bidding from the beginning and probably losing to someone who started at the $3 or $4 mark. I say that this is a “risky” way to try and conserve bids because there have been MANY times that I have planned on monitoring an auction from my phone, but by the time that I remember to check it’s already passed the $5 No Jumper limit. So if it’s something that you are extremely interested in I would suggest setting an alarm on your phone to remind you to check the auction.<\/p>\n

\n

That’s it!\u00a0Those are just a few simple ways to save your bids and get the most out of your bid pack purchases. Pay attention to what you’re doing, check out the auctions<\/a> and see what you would really like to bid on, and try my tips to save bids.\u00a0See you on DealDash<\/a> everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.<\/p>\n
