Examples of Winning on DealDash.com
What Does Winning Mean to You? To me, winning on DealDash.com means more than seeing the words, “Congratulations, you won!”
What some DealDash customers call winning, I would not call winning on DealDash.com at all. Whenever the total cost amounts to more than the retail price of the winning item, I call that losing!
Let me give you an example of what winning on DealDash.com means to me.
In the early morning hours when most people are sleeping, I won a $100 Safeway gift card and a $100 Albertson’s gift card. Both of those chain grocery stores are conveniently located within walking distance of my house, so I immediately placed one bid on each so I would not be locked out of the auctions.
Only about four bidders were actively bidding in for the Albertson’s card, so I placed my bids early. Many more bidders were participating in the Safeway card auction so I waited and got into that auction much later.
To win the Safeway gift card, I used only 17 bids (15 cents x 17 = $2.55) and paid a closing winning cost of $18.40. That means I paid a total of $20.95 for the $100 Safeway gift card–a savings of $79.05 off the full retail price. That is what I call winning on DealDash.com!
To win the Albertson’s gift card, I used 342 bids (15 cents x 342 = $50.30) and paid a closing winning cost of $18.51. That means I paid a total of $68.81 cents for the $100 Albertson’s gift card–a savings of $31.19 off the full retail price. Because I paid less than retail, I can still call that winning on DealDash.com, but my Safeway win was a much better deal, even though both auctions ended up closing within 12 cents of the same price.
