DealDash Tip: Use a Nice Bidder Bio

November 14, 2013 DealDash Reviews

I wanted to write here to address some of the comments I see from people who write in their bidder bio. I’ve seen some people write…“let me win and you get your bids back.”  Well, letting someone else have the win does nothing to help you get your bids back. Please be sure not to buy into these types of comments people post on their bio. The only way you will get your bids back is to “buy it now” in case you lose the auction. You pay full price for the item listed, and your bids are put  — Read full post

DealDash Bidding Experiences

November 12, 2013 DealDash Reviews

Last Christmas was my first chance to try to win gifts and gift cards for friends and family. I found I was able to win more auctions by staying focused on the item I wanted. There was a Himalayan lamp that was perfect for my home and I wanted one in the worst way. I tried to win one several times before I figured out I was competing against people who were more determined to “WIN” than I was. I realized there are certain times of the day when the competition is not so fierce and some of the big  — Read full post

DealDash Auction Bidder Bios

November 8, 2013 DealDash Reviews

see no, hear no, speak no evil Many of us shopping on DealDash are guilty of wanting to admonish someone in our bidder bio. Someone who is stomping bids all of the time or threatening everyone with their millions of bids or tons of money. We all want to say something witty and put them in their place. What I have found is that most of the people we are trying to reach with our “message” never even look at those little bios! They are the ones that are pressing that “bid button” like their life depends on it, never once actually logging in to the item  — Read full post

Incentive to outbid other DealDash bidders

November 7, 2013 DealDash Reviews

As a satisfied DealDash customer I just want to share a few thoughts about participating on this auction site.

For starters, I’d like to make reference to other bidders and the things I see bidders write in their bidder bio. Although some may be a veteran, disabled, unemployed, etc. will other bidders really cut them a break? Personally it gives ME more of an incentive to outbid them and win. After all, this is an auction, not a charity.
