do not overspend

Winning At All Costs And What We Can Learn

I recently witnessed the most ridiculous bidding ever! Ok… I’m the first to admit, I am probably guilty of this myself.

Two bidders were  overbidding on a $10.00 gift card and when I last checked, it was  at $12.50 and  was  still going on. Please do the math and include the number of bids you had to use plus the purchase price. I just can’t bring myself to look at it to see the final selling price.

Why? Why? Why? are the questions I ask myself as they bid since I can see no one is willing to concede. I say to them out loud… just Stop Bidding and Buy It! You can try again later!  Of course they can’t hear me, but if only they could I would encourage them to stop and read all of the helpful tips posted on DealDash.

Tip of the Day: When bidding, don’t overspend.

You might win but the truth is you never come out ahead. Learn from others, and try not making the same mistakes those before you have. We share our successes and failures so others can learn from us. Remember when people post on here that they do it for free and the love they have for you. Look, listen and learn!

And on a final note today, I had to go back and check on the selling price of the gift card. It sold for even more!

Happy Bidding!
