Big or Small… DealDash has Deals!

Hello fellow bidders. Some people feel that they are wasting their time bidding on the “small stuff.” Well, it is extremely difficult to win the big stuff…believe me, it is pure luck. Okay, so it’s luck on all of it, but the big stuff is a lot more luck. I see a lot of the same bidders on every large ticket item, including bid packs, on the page.

I’m here to tell you that a deal is a deal, no matter how big or small the item may be. I have won a lot of smaller items and only one  — Read full post

DealDash Bios and Bid Buddies

I have been watching and bidding again this week and continue to see the newcomers with intimidating names and bios that are supposed to scare away other bidders. The bios really don’t mean much to serious bidders. I have been bidding on DealDash for over a year now and know very few of the threatening names and/or bios are serious.

So, if  — Read full post

DealDash Tip: Use a Nice Bidder Bio

I wanted to write here to address some of the comments I see from people who write in their bidder bio. I’ve seen some people write…“let me win and you get your bids back.”  Well, letting someone else have the win does nothing to help you get your bids back. Please be sure not to buy into these types of comments people post on their bio. The only way you will get your bids back is to “buy it now” in case you lose the auction. You pay full price for the item listed, and your bids are put  — Read full post

DealDash Bidding Experiences

Last Christmas was my first chance to try to win gifts and gift cards for friends and family. I found I was able to win more auctions by staying focused on the item I wanted. There was a Himalayan lamp that was perfect for my home and I wanted one in the worst way. I tried to win one several times before I figured out I was competing against people who were more determined to “WIN” than I was. I realized there are certain times of the day when the competition is not so fierce and some of the big  — Read full post
