This blog is mainly aimed at the newbies, but some more seasoned DealDash players might even learn a thing or two. Can we all really say that we read all of the instructions when we started? Here&#8217;s a refresher course.<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dealdashreviewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DealDashSecrets2.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"274\" height=\"206\" \/><\/p>\n<p>DealDash offers a Tactics &amp; Tips section available <a href=\"http:\/\/www.dealdash.com\/tactics-and-tips\">here<\/a>\u00a0for anyone who would like to read the original text. In this blog I am going to go through all of the tips and try to give a little insight on how they can help you.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tip 1 &#8211; Conserve your bids. Bidding rapidly will only waste your bids and inflate the auction price. Bid strategically, or book a BidBuddy to do it for you. It makes absolutely no sense to hit your bid button rapidly and without thought when you are in an auction. Most people have their bids booked through the BidBuddy anyway, so it&#8217;s very unlikely you will win this way.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 2 &#8211; Book a BidBuddy.\u00a0The majority of auctions on DealDash are won by using the BidBuddy. The BidBuddy strategically places bids for you. It waits until the last second to bid. You can put a limit on how many bids will be used. And you can cancel it at any time. Basically, you put the number of bids that you are willing to spend into your BidBuddy and it will bid for you against other people&#8217;s BidBuddies that have been set. They take turns with each other, and this way you don&#8217;t waste any bids by accidentally (or on purpose!) stomping on people&#8217;s bids.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 3- Earn FREE bids.\u00a0When you are the Highest Bidder, you will earn time towards your next level. When you reach a new level, you receive free bids. There is a meter at the bottom of your bidding screen that will show you how far you are from getting free bids. Once the meter is filled up you just click the &#8220;claim bids&#8221; button and they are automatically credited to your account and you can use them immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 4- Study the competition.\u00a0Who else is bidding on the item? Watch and learn. Some people keep a notepad to track bidders and what type of bidding strategies they are using. I personally keep an Excel spreadsheet on bidders that I frequently run into on the particular auctions that I enjoy. If you find yourself bidding on the same genre of item often, such as video game systems, you will probably run into the same bidders pretty often. If you keep track of their names and at what auction price they stop bidding then you have a pretty good idea of how they might bid the next time you run into them.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 5- Buy It Now (BIN) and get your bids back.\u00a0If you do not win an auction, you can get your bids back, by taking advantage of the Buy It Now option. If you bid 100 times on a $50 Walmart Gift Card and don&#8217;t win, you can just buy the item for $50 and get all your bids back for free. You can now re-use your bids to try to win another auction! The bids are\u00a0automatically credited to your account and you can use them immediately.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 6- Check out the winners.\u00a0The winners page reveals recently won items and the final auction prices. I\u00a0<strong>love\u00a0<\/strong>to look at the &#8220;Winner&#8217;s Page&#8221;. You can see the link to it up at the top of the DealDash screen. It shows all of the recently won auctions, who won them, where they are from, and what the final auction price was. I love to see who got an awesome deal like a video game for .10, and I also admit that I have to chuckle a little when I see someone WAY overpay such as &#8220;winning&#8221; a $25 gift card for $27. When you see someone overbid like that you know that either they weren&#8217;t paying attention or that their competitive &#8220;gotta win&#8221; attitude cost them money.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 7- Try different times.\u00a0Auctions might be easier to win at different times of the day. Auctions are only open to the US. I agree that this can sometimes be helpful, however in my experience it seems that the &#8220;ultimate prime time&#8221; to bid can vary from week to week. Study the auctions and see if you can find yourself a sweet spot to bid in.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 8- Mind your budget.\u00a0Try bidding on less-expensive, less-popular items. There will likely be less competition. If you stick with items that are $20 or less it&#8217;s easy to just BIN them (see tip 5) and get all of your bids back to try again.<\/li>\n<li>Tip 9- Buy bids on sale.\u00a0Make sure to visit DealDash regularly so you can keep up to date on promotions and save on bids! Bid prices change every single day, but generally fluctuate between .12-.18 per bid. If you go &#8220;Like&#8221; the DealDash Secrets page on Facebook <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/dealdashsecrets\/?fref=nf\">here<\/a>\u00a0you can check back daily and it will tell you the price the bids will be the following day. And if that&#8217;s not an awesome tip I don&#8217;t know what is!<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"http:\/\/www.dealdashreviewed.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2014\/06\/DealDashSecrets.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"513\" height=\"217\" \/><\/p>\n<p>So my fellow\u00a0DealDashers, those are just a few helpful tactics &amp; tips for\u00a0playing on DealDash.
