DealDash Values Their Customers Greatly

You would be hard pressed to find another company that treats its customers with so much gratitude and kindness. Many companies, especially on-line companies, just see the customer as a sale and not like a human being. You won’t find that at DealDash, they are just too kind and very much in touch with their players.

There are many ways they show their gratitude for the players. First, and my personal favorite, is the free bids they give for your Time As High Bidder (TAHB), that’s a feature which tallies the time you bid. For every bid you place a timer begins until the next bid is placed, if all players are using the Bid Buddy feature you average about 10 seconds for every bid. This is tallied and when you reach your next “level”, you are rewarded with the free bids. The amount of bids is determined by the time you spend at DealDash, the more you bid, the more free bids you receive.

DealDash is very generous with the free bids in their social scene too. They love it when players share their wins with the Community, and for doing it, they reward you with up to 350 bids. You can then enter into a weekly contest where one lucky player will win 1000 bids, that’s always fun, and I’ve seen just about everyone that posts win the big prize.

There are other features on the site that shows they value their customers, for instance, the Bid Buddy. This is a feature that ensures you get a chance to accumulate your TAHB, without it, you would pounce in your bids and that just won’t help. You don’t earn any time at all if you stomp in your bids manually.

The Dashboard is a wonderful tool, there is all kinds of information, I suggest in the beginning you use it a lot to review the number of bids you place on items, to see who you beat in the “won auctions” list. See who beat you in the bidding history. Let’s say you just can’t remember the name of a player who beat you, but you do remember that it was a certain item, you go find the item in the list and and click on it. There you will see who it is and that’s always helpful if your thinking of getting involved with this person again.

Customer Service is the most outstanding on the internet. They care deeply for every concern you might have with DealDash. Everyone is so incredibly kind. They take care of your issue, usually immediately. They claim within 48 hours, but I’ve never waited more than a few hours for a response. They even have a Live Chat where you can contact them if you have an immediate problem. I found I used the chat a lot in the beginning, but now that I understand how to shop and play at DealDash, I rarely use it. It is however, very helpful.

DealDash is the most fair and honest penny auction site. You will win a lot and have a great time doing it. They want you back!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

New Items of Luxury from DealDash

You can always find something for your home at DealDash, they variety of merchandise is amazing, and lately they’ve added another essential everyday item to the line-up, it’s towels! Luxurious, fluffy and affordable bath towels. There is a nice variety of colors to choose fro, suitable for any home: Charcoal, Ivory, Deep Blue, Moss Green. I’ve seen this $99 Charcoal Towel set sell for an average of $15. There is always one or another offer for the towels that you can bid on. They are popular, yet some are selling around a dollar!

You can also find other linens and bed spreads at DealDash. They have been around for awhile, so a lot of the regular players have all the sheets and blankets they need. I have a few of each color! The bed spread makes a lovely gift, and it’s so soft and easy to clean. I usually keep a couple in the closet for gifts, you never know when a bridal shower might pop up, and everyone needs a big fluffy comforter!

DealDash also has sheets in three sizes: Full, Queen and King. They are also very soft and yet sturdy. They dry in minutes and have kept their shape. I like to win the items for the linen closet because they are good gifts, but also because they are easy to win, and once in a while I like to trade one in for bids. This is a bid exchange program offered by DealDash, they will give you a set number of bids if you decide you don’t want an item once you’ve won it. It’s very convenient. I keep a list of my open wins on my dashboard, if I don’t have enough bids for one items I can always exchange for bids win one of my wins.

You do have to be willing to have nothing in the end if you do that because there are no guarantee you will win anything with the bids and now you don’t have your win either, so be very sure this is what you want when you exchange. I’ve only regretted it once, but I still think about that one mistake. What if. Just be sure you don’t want an item before you exchange.

The sheet and comforters are generally easy to win, if you get into a battle and the other player won’t let go, do yourself a favor and be the one to let go, go for the next one. There is always something nice for your linen closet to bid on at DealDash. There is also a fair retail price for all this linens, so if you do get going and won’t let go until you spend the products value in bids, you can then purchase the item, and if you Buy It Now (BIN) you will get all the bids back which you used trying. That’s a Win-Win!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Bid Buddy Brings Success at DealDash

When you first get started at DealDash you will be tempted to poke your bids in one at a time and run from auction to auction trying to win one. That’s a fun learning experience, but not the best way to conserve bids, and you will soon learn that using the Bid Buddy is the best way to conserve bids and win more auctions.

First, what is Bid Buddy? Bid Buddy is an aut0matic bidding system designed by DealDash and exclusive to their site. You place a number of bids into the feature in any auction, and the Bid Buddy will bid every time it’s your turn. For example, if there are 5 players in the auction, it will bid every fifth bid for you, and the last bid is the winner. If you don’t use Bid Buddy, you lose the security of your turn, you are much more likely to poke bids in after every other player, that uses bids, in this case, 5 times faster. So, if everyone is using Bid Buddy, and you aren’t, chances are they have 10 bids invested in the auction and you have more like 50 for the same amount of time. That also raised the cost of the item, of course, one penny at a time.

Bid Buddy can be found in an individual auction, when I purchased my first bid pack, I was very proactive with my bidding and quickly burned through the pack. Use the Bid Buddy from day one. Open the auction of a desired item, in the center of the page, there is a box that says “add bids here”. You place your desired number of bids in the Bid Buddy, and that amount is deducted from your account, but you can cancel the Bid Buddy at any time, and any remaining bids will be returned to your account. Once you put the bid in Bid Buddy, just click “Book a Bid Buddy” and let it do the work for you.

You might think not being active in the auction is boring, but winning is not boring and you will win more using Bid Buddy. Place your bids and then shop, it’s a great site with new items all the time. You never know what you will find in the New Item Category. Also, shop for your future, some items are not offered daily, so when you find an item you like and it’s not scheduled, you can use the “Alert Me” tab and have DealDash send you an email when it is scheduled.

Don’t underestimate your Bid Buddy, it’s a fair and honest way to bid at DealDash, it will help you win!

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!

Bidding On a Budget at DealDash

When you are bidding at DealDash, you need to keep one thing in mind, and that is your budget. There are few things you need to keep in order when you are bidding at Americas favorite Penny Auction Site, and that is what is it costing you?

This is really important because if you spend too much you may find yourself dissatisfied with the DealDash experience. Here are a few tips I can give you to help you bid smart on a budget.

First, decide what your budget is. Let’s say it’s 1000 bids, that costs apron. $140 dollars. Now decide what you want to win. Let DealDash tell you when your favorite item is going on the market. You do this by using your “Alert Me” tab, all you need to do is find the item you want to win in you search bar, once you do, you click the Alert Me tab and DealDash will let you know by email when it’s coming on the market. They also let you know when it’s coming on the market in a few minutes, this is my favorite time. I love to jump into an auction really early and try to win it for a few pennies. Over my nearly three years at DealDash, I’ve learned to back off when I need to. This is probably the most difficult skill to learn….to just back off, yep, lose the auction. I do it all the time, I don’t want to get into a bidding war with someone who might have 100’s of bid to bid in this auction, when the truth is I only want to use 50.

You can guess with great certainty that anyone claiming to be a “grandparent” most likely will overbid, they don’t care how much they spend on the little darlings. You can also plan on the guy who says “I’m a photographer” to bid until the cows come home on the camera you’ve been trying to win for some time. My experience with that is to bid until you win it. You can over come these players, but you must be willing to use a ton of bids. Maybe in the thousands for an item like a coveted Stand Mixer in the unusual color of Aqua. The Silver one is easier to win, but everyone wants the Aqua one.

Try to win the odd item out. If you can only win the item once, try to win that first, the next guy may have already won it. There are a lot of items on the DealDash site that will bring you great joy, j=you just need to know when to bid and who to bid against . This is a pretty easy thing to figure out, all you need to do is bid, bid bid.

Don’t spend a fortune on bids if you don’t have a fortune to bid. Get to know who is willing to overbid, and who might beat you just for spite. You will learn these players fast and furious.

Good Luck and Happy Bidding!!!
