Free Auction Wins and Promotions
I was hoping and praying for a win recently during one of the free auction times, a time when if you win an auction, all you pay is the 1-cent transactional fee and Deal Dash pays the winning bid amount.
Sadly, I did not win the item that was being auctioned at that time and even though I lost the free auction item, I do not consider my efforts a total loss.
I was using bids that I had earned from prior auction efforts when I filled the bid meter. The free auction bidding session was taking place during one of the times when you could fill your bid meter 2 or 3 times faster than normal.
As I said before, I did not win the item I was bidding on during the free auction win and 3X faster time promotion, and even worse, I did not follow my personal rule of avoiding bidding on something more expensive than I could afford to pay using the Buy It Now (BIN) option. However, the mere act of participating in the auction helped me fill the bid meter faster, and that action put me well on my way to earning the next round of free bids (Round 15 for 75 free bids) thanks to the generosity of DealDash and activating my bid buddy.
It wasn’t too long before I put those free auction bids I earned into action when I bid on a Puzzled Fantasy Villa Wood Puzzle that retailed for $62.00. I won it and it only cost 52 of my free bids and $1.73 for the winning auction. The villa was a precut dollhouse with doors that really opened and when my 8-year-old great niece saw her grandmother putting it together, she wanted it for herself. It was just a few days later that they went in search of miniature furniture for it.
Now her little brother wants to know when his grandma will build him something.
