Part Two: Bidding Strategy

DealDash strategy

This is part two of a two part series which focuses on computing the cost of bidding and my auction bidding strategies. Here we will review the bidding aspect and how I implement my personal bidding strategy on DealDash.

When I locate an auction item that I want, I make one bid as soon as it goes live and of course before the $5 No Jumper limit. I then just sit back and watch the auction bidding patterns for a bit. For those of you not aware of what the $5 No Jumper limit here’s a clip from the Official  — Read full post

Part One: Computing Bidding Cost

Bid Pack Auction on DealDash

Hello everyone, first of all I want to just say that Deal Dash is by far the best auction site on the internet. I have compared all of them that I could find and there is just no one that is even close.

How I Chose My Penny Auction Site

first penny auction

I stumbled upon the DealDash Auction website one day and wondered how legit it was because I had tried other Penny Auctions where I was not impressed with the results.

I did a little research on my own to see if there were any negative comments about this auction site and when I was pleased with the positive information that I had read I decided that I would try this auction website. There were several factors that I immediately liked when I joined DealDash.

  • Second was the massive selection of merchandise
