Six Year Celebration on DealDash
So, as DealDash celebrated their six year anniversary last week, they offered the bidders a huge gift!
They offered 6-times free bids on your time as highest bid meter plus free auction wins meaning if you won an auction you did not have to pay the final sales price. Obviously if one looked at the final cost of the auction winners, the bidders were taking full advantage of the offer to earn free bids.
An example of that is a $10 gift card that sold for more than $80! That means over 8,000 bids were placed on a single auction which was also offered free to the auction winner. I know DealDash is happy but so are their customers. We got to earn more bids than ever and if the auctions went your way, then the free bid meter filled up and the reward was more free bids! Of course the other bidders used the Buy it Now option on the $10 gift card to get their bids back. This was a great promotion and I believe DealDash was thinking of the bidders as much as they were celebrating their own six year success.
Six years ago I was not a bidder on DealDash. I had found another auction site that I was mesmerized with and convinced I could win all sorts of prizes. Unfortunately the executives on the site made some bad decisions and customer service began putting off their customers and even exaggerated and mis-spoke about some circumstances regarding deliveries. Some winnings were never delivered and many customers totally lost their accounts and never got paid when the company closed with little warning.
Luckily I got out of the site and received all of my items from them. I realized earlier than many that the company was having a tough time meeting their promises. Not having merchandise in their inventory to cover the auction wins was a huge red flag and I learned to be more cautious with any bidding I might do.
Since I have been on DealDash and going on my third year now, I have not been misled or treated poorly at any time. Their customer service is excellent and their staff really listens to any customer concern, opinion, and suggestion. While my suggestions are not always implemented I always feel that I at least got listened to and my opinion mattered. Not many companies with a million “likes” are going to listen to the small consumer. DealDash really does! I am grateful to DealDash for the opportunity to be a “winner”, see the fireworks and even get my bids back in a buy it now offer if I need to. Happy Birthday DealDash, thank you for being “fair and honest”, and I wish you many more prosperous years!
