\u00a0<\/strong>Before we know it, the holiday season will be just a blur in our rearview mirrors and a new year will be upon us. In the new year, I\u2019ve decided to take a look at my past year and make a few new DealDash resolutions. <\/em>Take a look at how I\u2019m re-vamping my DealDash style in 2018:<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Implementing new strategies<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>This one is difficult for most of us, myself included. I have a certain way that I bid and I am comfortable with that. In 2018, I\u2019m making the resolution to try new strategies like: trying a different day and time, bidding mid-auction, or heaven forbid\u2014late auction! You never know what will work and when. You just have to give it a try.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

     <\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Standing strong<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Experienced bidders can be very intimidating but statistics show they don\u2019t win all the auctions they bid on. Are there a few that seem to? Yes. Here\u2019s the thing: More times than I can recall I have seen experienced bidders jump into an auction late and I will exit the auction almost immediately because the chances of me winning against a big bidder are usually slim to none. However, I have also watched these experienced bidders then mysteriously pop back out of the auction after just a few bids, and the other person wins. Silly me\u2014I should have stayed in the auction and not been so intimidated. Lesson learned. I won\u2019t be as intimidated in 2018.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Investing more bids<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 No one likes to spend a ton of bids because bids cost money. I try to limit myself to a certain number of bids on each auction, depending on the value and popularity of the item. In 2018, I\u2019m going to go a little bit further and see if increasing my bids results in more wins.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

          \n
        1. Sticking to the No. 1 Rule<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>Only bidding on things you really want to win is the No. 1 rule at DealDash (other than always using BidBuddy, that is). It\u2019s hard to do because it\u2019s always nice to win an item to exchange to bids and have more bids in your bank. But what if your investment in winning items to get more bids fails and you waste your bids and then don\u2019t have the bids you need to win the items you really want? That is a bummer and I\u2019ve done it myself. But in 2018, I\u2019m really making an effort to stick to things I really want to win 80 percent of the time.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

          \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

            \n
          1. Shake things up\u2013 <\/em><\/strong>I have found that it is true with me and others that we are creatures of habit. We stick to the same categories and don\u2019t deviate much from our \u201cnorm.\u201d If we have success with bidding on items from the jewelry category, that is where we tend to stay. You will find by watching other bidders that they also tend to stick to similar categories: bid packs, handmade bags and the like. In 2018, I\u2019m breaking out of my norm and trying my hand at other categories I have yet to try.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

            \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

              \n
            1. Preparing for the holidays earlier<\/em><\/strong> \u2013 <\/em>This year I\u2019m starting in January. That\u2019s right. By October 2018, I will have effectively stocked all the Christmas gifts I want in the closet by winning a few bids a month and putting those items away for holiday gift giving. The early bird gets the DealDash stash.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

              \u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

              I hope you have some great DealDash resolutions of your own for 2018 and hope you are wildly successful in your auction bids.<\/p>\n
