DealDash Brotherly Love

May 2, 2014 DealDash Reviews

When I came to DealDash, at my brother’s suggestion, I had been bidding on other penny auction sites that have since closed their doors. It was a good move on my part, however, as a newbie I made lots of “newbie” mistakes.

I bought 200 bids to get started and immediately went after the $100 Shell card, why not? After all, with 200 bids I would certainly be able to win the card. Or, so I thought. After losing my 200 bids and having nothing, nada, zilch to show for it, I sent a scathing email to customer support about — Read full post

The 5 W’s Of Penny Auctions

The 5 W’s of penny auctions and bidding on DealDash.

As we all know, penny auctions can be fun, but can also be very frustrating. Just when you think it’s going your way, here comes that other bidder that’s been sitting back patiently watching you bid to your limit then jumps in at just the right time to take it home. How do they always jump in right when your close to your stopping point? Well, they’ve probably taken the time to research the items and the bidders, before they go “all in” so to speak.

Tips On Staying Focused Like Indiana Jones To Help You Win Auctions

As I was bidding on a DealDash auction earlier today and again this evening, I noticed many people bid on many of the auctions at the same time.

It would appear to be counter productive to bid on too many auctions at once since you are limited to 6 auction wins in one week under $200 and 3 auction wins over $200. If a bidder is serious about “winning” an auction, I would recommend concentrating on one or two auctions at a time. Spreading yourself too thin causes several things to occur.

Three Potential Ways DealDash Bidders Could Get More Free Bids

March 19, 2014 DealDash Reviews

I love that DealDash is an open minded company, listens to their customers and welcomes new ideas from their Bidders.

Here I will briefly share some of the ideas I have on how to reward the Bidders with more free bids.

1. After purchasing a determined number of bids the bidder receives a specified amount of free bids. For example: for every 1,000 bids purchased, the bidder would get 10% or 100 Free bids!

2. Shorten the amount of time to receive free bids or make the Time As Highest Bidder Rewards more frequent and fun!

Top 3 Traits Of A Successful Bidder

March 13, 2014 DealDash Reviews

Before we talk about what makes certain bidders successful, let’s define “success” as it pertains to penny auctions.

If you define “success” as simply winning auctions, here’s something to think about. Say you “win” a $10 gift card for $3.50 and you spend 50 bids in the process. Was this a “successful” auction? I would say the answer depends on what your 50 bids cost you. If those bids cost you 15 cents each, you just spent $11.00 to “win” $10.00. Some would call that “success”. I don’t.

For the sake of this article, we’re going to define “success” not — Read full post
