‘New’ Labels are New

How long as it been since you have opened DealDash.com?

DealDash support staff recently made another change to improve the shopping site and make it easier for patrons to use. Did you see the new red boxes that say “New” on various auctions offered on DealDash?

If we are looking for “new” products on DealDash.com, we no longer have to hunt for them because they are already clearly labeled for us with a little red box labeled “New.”

Some of the “new” items now labeled with the red “New” box are:

  • New vehicles
  • Memory foam mattress
  • New oil paintings
  • Elliptical and recumbent exercise bike
  • New watch
  • Microscope
  • Wireless headphones
  • Sushi plate (set of three)
  • Cooler cup
  • Fruit bowl

Sometimes new auctions can be the easiest to win. It’s a good idea to check them out to see how strong the competition might be. When DealDash runs the “no new bidders after $3” feature, we might find more auctions that do not have too many shoppers. If we can find any auction with 30 competitors or less, we will have an easier time to plan a working winning strategy.

Best DealDash Features

Do you have a favorite feature on DealDash.com?

Some customers shop on DealDash every day, but some customers might shop a lot more when their favorite feature comes up. Below are some of my favorite DealDash features.

One per Customer
One thing I like about this feature is that it’s available every day. All we have to do is look in the upper left corner of the auctions to find the little yellow square with the number 1. Whenever we see that, we know that auction product has a limit of “one per customer.” I love auctions that have a limit of “one per customer” because it prevents a handful of power bidders to win more than their fair share of the high-dollar items, and it might help the rest of us to win the product.

2X and 3X Time as highest bidder
Look at the green line at the bottom right-hand side of your screen. Whenever we see the 2X feature, we will get twice as much time on the clock as the highest bidder; and whenever we see the 3X feature, we will get three times, or 30 seconds for each bid on the timer, instead of just 10. In other words, placing 300 bids on a 3X feature is like placing 900 bids instead. That means our green line will move all the way to the right a lot faster and when it does, we will be able to collect some more free bids.

No New Bidders After $3
I love this feature because this usually means we will have less competition because all new players will be blocked from placing any bids once the auction price reaches $3 instead of $5 (or in the case of some cars, $1,000).

Fifty Percent Off to the Winner
This feature means that after the auction closes, DealDash will pay half of the selling price and the winner pays only the other half. In other words, if the auction closes at $50, DealDash will pay $25 and the winner will pay $25. During this feature, we have the opportunity to win some really great bargains.

If you have not shopped on DealDash during all of these special features, check it out. Features like these helps to keep DealDash a fun place to shop

Stretching Our Bids

Would you like to stretch your bids when shopping on DealDash.com? It takes a little practice to learn how to do this, but below is a list of some of the things we can do to make the most out of each and every bid.

We might want to stop bidding and save our bids whenever we see a Newbie cutting the clock. The main reason new players do this is because they have not yet found or learned how to use BidBuddy. It usually does not take too long before Newbies figure out that bidding this way uses up too many bids and does not help them win. We might want to temporarily stop bidding until they go away so we can get our fair time on the clock to win more free bids.

Double click on several auctions and look for screen names of the winners who consistently overbid. If we see these screen names appear in our auction, we might want to stop bidding and save our bids for another auction.

Check the Winners’ List and pay attention to screen names that consistently win several auctions. We can tell who the power bidders are by looking at this list. If we see these screen names appear in our auction, we might want to save our bids to bid in another auction.

Read the bio information of other bidders who appear in our auctions. This bio information can tell us a lot more than you might think. I learned that military veterans who served in special units are often some of the toughest competitors because they were trained to have a “never give up” mindset. Grandparents are often the same way and can also be very determined and difficult to beat. Doctors, lawyers, engineers and retired CEOs often provide tough competition, too, because they can often afford to purchase larger bid packs.

By recognizing screen names of the strongest competitors on DealDash.com, we can save bids by not competing with the most difficult competitors to beat. Instead, we can save our bids for other auctions when the competition might not be so strong.

Why Busy People Love DealDash

DealDash.com is the perfect shopping site for busy people.

Busy people know that shopping online offers many advantages. Some of the advantages I enjoy most about shopping online are:

  • No Driving or Parking Hassles: I hate to deal with heavy traffic and crowded shopping malls, especially when it is difficult to find a free place to park.
  • More Shopping Hours: Shopping online is a 24-7 store that never closes.
  • Free Delivery: When I win an auction or BIN (Buy-It-Now) on DealDash, my purchase (regardless of size) is always delivered free-of-charge to my front door. When I’m shopping in a mall, however, I have to worry about whether or not a big, bulky item will fit in the trunk or backseat of my car.
  • Convenience and Comfort: I love the convenience and comfort of shopping online from the comfort of my home. I do not have to dress up or go out in messy weather. Instead, I can shop in a comfortable night gown or favorite pair of jeans, with no makeup, while enjoying a good cup of coffee.
  • Saves Time and Money: Shopping online saves time because it allows me to multi-task. All I have to do is place my bids in the automated bidder, BidBuddy, and go about my many other tasks like doing laundry or cooking dinner. It is also faster and easier for me to find what I need on DealDash than it is to find what I need in a store. By shopping online I also use less gas, and I often win expensive products on DealDash at a great price.

If you know some busy family members and friends, do them a favor. Introduce them to DealDash.com.
