High-Risk Winning Strategies on DealDash
Some DealDash.com customers can afford to purchase plenty of bids and some cannot. If you only have a small number of bids, you might believe you could never win an auction on DealDash. I have been testing a few high-risk winning strategies for those with only a few bids to prove otherwise. Here’s how they work:
How to use high-risk winning strategies – No. 1
- Place one bid before the auction closes at $5 so you do not get locked out with the No Jumper limit.
- Go to the winners list and see how much money that same auction closed at the last two or three times it it’s not a one per user auction. If it’s a one per user auction you can get the list of previous winners and prices it sold for directly from the item auction page.
- Figure out the average price that item usually sells for and wait until the auction reaches that price before using any more bids.
- If more than three bidders are still bidding, wait even longer.
- When the auction gets down to the last two bidders, place the rest of your bids into BidBuddy.
How to use high-risk winning strategies – No. 2
- Follow the same steps from 1 to 4 above.
- When the auction gets down to the last two bidders, wait until they use up another 10 to 100 bids (based on the value of the item and at what point the last two bidders entered the auction).
- For every 2 to 6 bids the other bidders place, use only one of yours.
Of course, both of these are high-risk winning strategies (especially the second one) because the auction could close before you even get into the game. However, I did win some auctions using the first strategy and came awfully close two times (right next to the winner) using the second one.
