How I Got One of my Biggest Wins at DealDash!
Winning with DealDash is one of the most exciting experiences from shopping online! It’s fun to just shop, but why shop when you can bid? DealDash makes shopping fun and quite interesting. If you flip around on the DealDash site, you will find many everyday items you will want and need. You can also find items you didn’t even know you needed until you saw it right there in front of you.
There are exceptional deals on housewares, children items, yard decorations, electronics, and much more. I was fortunate enough to win a computer for only $35.17! I used about $80.00 in bids so this was an exceptional deal! This was a well fought for item. I had tried halfheartedly to win on several occasions, but it was when I got serious about the item, I won it!
What does it mean to “get serious”? It starts by loading up on bids. It is very unlikely that you will win a computer with just a few bids. If your budget allows it, start with a large pack and don’t waste them on other items during the item you wish to win. Be conservative.
I did my shopping well ahead of the auction. I found the right computer for me and I set an alert to know when the item came on the market. Once the item is up for sale, it’s time to get serious! Watch the beginning of the auction closely, it is always helpful to see who is committed and who is coming and going. Keep track of how many bids the other players are using. If there are three bidders and 300 bids placed, each player has used 100 bids. This is when knowing the competition comes in handy. It also assumes everyone is using the BidBuddy.
I did waver in and out of the auction, but there were a lot of people involved. This can be risky, but it does help conserve bids. Continue to watch the auction closely. Many bidders are trying to win this item for only a few bids and they are unlikely to come back after they use them, another reason why watching the competition is important. You will get to know them over time. I keep a notebook, and I use it to track players, watch the items I am interested in and monitor spending.
It was an exillerating feeling when after some hours of battling and 778 bids I won! The fireworks exploded on the page and I was jumping up and down, I won my Lenovo Lap Top, a $500.00 item for about $140.00! Now that I have that under my belt, I’m going for the iPad!
Happy Bidding!!
