My best penny auction and bidding advice is to be responsible and don’t spend more than you have. So I was on DealDash.com the other day and decided to try my hand at bidding aggressively. Not my usual style but thought that I would give it a try since we see so many people out there who bid this way.

At first, I was conservative, which was my usual approach and then I started to bid aggressively. I was putting all my bids in one basket and said “All or nothing”! I have to admit I had a big rush bidding like this with having to “Win” no matter what feeling. I didn’t want to use the BidBuddy because I felt that it was “cheating” and would take the fun out of it so I sat in front of my computer for hours, waiting 9 seconds between my bid and the next bid. I stayed out until I noticed there were 2-3 people left using BidBuddy and just kept aggressively bidding.

I have to admit, I was careless, didn’t feel responsible and realize that the aggressive approach isn’t for me because I used all my bids on an item I didn’t win thinking it was only “one bid away from winning.” Much to my dismay, I ended up losing the auction because I ran out of bids before the other person. It’s so frustrating to see your name under the winner’s name in the history and knowing that it could’ve been you on top. LOL, that’s ok though. I learned that my auction bidding strategy is supposed to be conservative and that I’m grateful I was practicing this technique on an item I would use the buy it now for and get my bids back.

I’ve been bidding on DealDash for about two years and really like it. I like to frequent DealDash because it is fun and entertaining. I’ve gone to other sites but find myself coming back to DealDash because of your ability get your bids back if you lose an auction.
