If I could sculpt the perfect DealDash bidder, what would he/she be like? A Power Bidder? A Bid Stomper? An Over Bidder? None of the these.

My History of Online Penny Auctions Since 2011

History of Online Auctions

I began bidding on some online penny auction sites at the urging of my brother in 2011.

3 Tips To Become A Winner On DealDash

watch and learn

Having been a bidder on DealDash for about 1 ½ years, I have learned some interesting things from other people by just watching the auctions. Here are my three tips to become a winner on Deal Dash!

My first DealDash tip is: DO NOT become a bid stomper.

Bidding quickly against other bidders really wastes your own bids while others have their bid buddy set. If you do not isolate your auction you cannot tell who has the bid buddy set and who is just bidding occasionally. You’re also taking away from others trying to collect time as highest bidder  — Read full post
