Duplicate Auctions

What do I mean by duplicate auctions?

One thing I love about DealDash is that each product usually goes up for auction more than once. In fact, we can often find the same product listed in six or seven auctions on the same day. This is a huge benefit to DealDash shoppers for several reasons.

Several Opportunities to Win an Auction

If we do not win the auction we want the first time we place bids on it, we have several more opportunities to bid on it again until we finally do. Eventually, most auctions will sell early sooner or later. If we are determined to get a particular product, and we consistently place bids on it every time it goes up for auction, we could be there at the right time to get a great bargain.

More Choices

Besides giving shoppers several opportunities to get a product, by listing the same product several times a day, DealDash also gives us more choices of which auction shows the most promise.

For example, if we were shopping for a high-quality knife with a lifetime guarantee, I counted 11 auctions that are available as of this writing. Let’s say we looked at the first auction and we noticed that one of the competitors is a well-known high-power bidder with a seemingly endless supply of bids. We might decide not to participate in that one, so we look at another auction. In the second auction, we might notice that a shopper who just won a bid pack of 1,600 bids is participating in that auction. Therefore, we might not want to compete in that auction, either. Then we might open a third auction and notice that the competition is extra low and the strongest competitors have already been eliminated. We may choose to bid in that auction because our opportunity to win the auction looks pretty good.

Conclusion

It’s always a good idea to take a look at all of the auctions available. Placing on the third or fifth auction might make a lot more sense.

Happy shopping everyone!

Earning Free Bids

Shoppers have so many different ways to earn free bids on DealDash.com.

Let us count the ways:

  1. If we log on to DealDash every day and place at least one bid, we can get as many as 15 free bids. As long as we do not miss logging on every day and placing a bid, we will continue getting 15 free bids every day. If we miss a day, then we have to start all over again, earning about 2 free bids at first, and then working our way back up to 15 free bids a day again.
  2. Every time we place bids in any auction, we earn time on the clock. As we earn time on the clock, DealDash shoppers will see a green line on the bottom right-hand side of the screen move forward, also known as Time as Highest Bidder. Once the green line gets to the end, shoppers will earn a package of free bids. Every time we reach the end, shoppers will move up a level. The higher the level, the more free bids we get. I’ve been shopping on DealDash since Feb. 8, 2012, and I am now on Level 66!
  3. Participate in challenges. Just recently, to earn 40 free bids, we had to bid on and win one of the Special Bid Pack auctions that DealDash was featuring to help celebrate 10 years of DealDash.

If you save your free bids, you will soon have enough bids to bid on an auction you really want to win. Try it, you’ll like it.

Bidding Sprees

Have you ever participated in a bidding spree or billing blast on DealDash.com?

How it works

Every once in a while DealDash puts everything up for auction all at the same time. DealDash announces ahead of time exactly when they will offer a bidding spree or bidding blast. On the days it happens, it is usually scheduled to begin at 3 or 5 p.m.

With everything going up for auction at the same time, customers hardly know which auctions to bid on first. I figured that most customers might go for the first auctions located upfront. Therefore, my strategy was to go to one of the last auctions, where I might not have as much competition.

Customer’s Delight

I’m told that some customers tend to win more than one auction during the bidding sprees on DealDash. Perhaps that’s because the power bidders cannot be everywhere at the same time. During regular auctions, I often find the same power bidders participating in every auction. That’s far less likely to happen during bidding sprees.

Watch

I’m sure DealDash will offer more bidding sprees in the future. It’s pretty exciting, so if you have never shopped during a bidding spree, you might want to try it.

Avoid Black Friday Crowds

We might be able to get some great deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday at the shopping malls, but who enjoys the hassle of finding parking places and fighting crowds?

Why not avoid all that by shopping on DealDash.com instead? We can find many great gift ideas and could get some great bargains by staying home and shopping online.

Cordless Vacuum

Many people would love to own a light-weight, cordless vacuum, so it would make an excellent gift. This is a popular item that goes up for auction on DealDash on a regular basis.

This cordless vacuum has a BIN price of $550 but you might not have to pay that much to get it. In fact, just recently when this item went up for auction on DealDash, the winner only paid $4.53, and that’s including the cost of bids — a bargain that would be difficult to beat at any shopping mall on Black Friday.

Neck Tie for Men

Neck ties on the DealDash shopping site are high-end, fancy ties that any man who likes to dress up would love. This is another item that goes up for auction on DealDash on a regular basis. The ties are offered in many different colors and designs and come in a fancy display box, too.

These silk neck ties have BIN prices of $280 but you might not have to pay that much to get it on DealDash. Just recently one auction was won for just $2.63 (cost of bids included, bids cost up to $0.20 each) so this would be a huge Black Friday saving! Another shopper won this tie using only one bid. The most experienced and wisest bidders will develop a good bidding strategy by waiting until it gets close to the average sale price or the bidding gets d!n to only two bidders.
