I\u2019ll admit it\u2026there are times I get so frustrated on DealDash<\/a> by not winning that the thought of pummeling my computer with a sledgehammer brings me to a level of uncomfortable diabolical bliss.<\/p>\n

Through trial and error and a whole lot of practice, I\u2019ve come to enjoy a moderate level of success on DealDash, but haven\u2019t yet broken into the realm of being a true \u201cexperienced bidder\u201d\u2014you know the kind\u2014a bidder that seems to be winning many, many times a day…the ones who seem to be in every auction you\u2019re trying to win.<\/p>\n

If I can win one moderately-priced item and a couple smaller items I can exchange to bids each day, I consider it a successful day on DealDash. But lately\u2026not so much.<\/p>\n

So the options are to assume to the Jack Nicholson grin as I imagine smashing my computer to smithereens or think it through and do something logical to get me through the bidding slump.<\/p>\n

Here are some tricks I\u2019ve learned to help get me through those insanely frustrating times when I just can\u2019t seem to win a thing.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Take a Break<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

When you are fan of DealDash as much as I am, sometimes taking a break is the hardest thing to do. Why? Because it\u2019s super fun , that\u2019s why! And I will be truthful, sometimes it takes me using up every last bid to force myself to take that break, but it usually helps. Sometimes the break is for a day or two, sometimes longer.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Try a Different Day or Time of Day<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Bidding in the morning and all the experienced bidders seem to be in every single auction you are in? Try walking away until the afternoon or evening. The great thing is, no matter what auction you have your eye on and heart set on, there is always another one right around the corner. And experienced bidders have to sleep sometime, right?<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The Tips & Tricks Tab<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

The Tips & Tricks tab on DealDash is really considered DealDash 101. Have you been flying blind and bidding without doing your research? If so, check this area out for a better understanding of how you can start winning more! And if you\u2019re reading this blog, you already know about the customer-written blog section with real strategies and stories.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Vent\u2026Really<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Vent. Respectfully. Let all your frustrations out with Customer Service. Seriously. Shoot them an email or log in to connect and chat with someone. I have done this several times and always felt better afterward. A few things to keep in mind though\u2026be respectful. It\u2019s not the Customer Service representative\u2019s fault you are having a bad bidding day but they are more than happy to listen. They can even offer tips and suggestions that may help. I know they have helped me! You may even have a legitimate concern or creative suggestion that they can take to the DealDash team to improve things in the future. DealDash wants to hear what their customers have to say. Trust me on this, as I have said a lot! <\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Earn Free Bids<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

Whether you\u2019re on a short sabbatical from DealDash or not, earning free bids always makes everything better. If you are on break, don\u2019t forget to sign in for your daily bid to earn up to 30 bids each day (it only takes one bid!). Ask Customer Service about opportunities to earn free bids through social media or other ways. You may be able to pad your bids bank while you wait it out. And let\u2019s face it, spending free bids feels sooooo good!<\/p>\n
