Gifts That Never Fail

One way to stretch our budget go a long way is by shopping for bargains, and one of the best places to do that is by shopping on DealDash.com. I got many great bargains here.

DealDash is also one of the best shopping sites we could find when it comes to getting outstanding gifts for our family members and friends at bargain prices, too.

It’s not easy to come up with the perfect gift for birthdays, anniversaries, graduations, Christmas and other special occasions. It’s also not easy to find high-quality gifts when we are on a tight budget. Yet, it is important to ensure that when we do give loves ones gifts, it will be something they will appreciate and actually use.

This year I gave my granddaughter several practical gifts for her birthday–items I knew she could use but probably would not purchase for herself. DealDash has many products like this that go up for auction on a regular basis.

Let’s take a look at some of the auction products that everybody can always find useful.

  • Linens, such as sheet sets and comforters. The sheet sets and comforters often sell at bargain prices and the auctions are fairly easy to win.
  • Tools, such as jigsaws and hunting knives. The hunting knives often sell for a bargain price. With a good bidding strategy, shoppers could get a bargain deal on the jigsaw, too.

Shopping on DealDash might be the perfect place to go to get a high-quality gift at a bargain price. I’ll see you there!

Auction Winner Trends

Do you frequently check the list of auction winners on DealDash.com?  If you do, you might have noticed that various items that sell at the best bargain prices seem to run in trends.

One week, perhaps the jewelry, such as rings, will sell at bargain prices. Another week, sheets and/or comforters might sell at bargain prices, and then something else the week after that.

Do you want to get a great deal, too?  If so, continue to check the list of auction winners to become familiar with what products are selling at the best bargain prices at any given time frame. Then if we focus on bidding on those particular items, we could get a great bargain, too.

I have tried this, and it works. All we have to do is look for trends. I once noticed a trend where small ring sizes were selling at bargain prices, so I focused on that and won several auctions.

Looking at the list of featured auction winners this week, it appears the trend is bid packs selling at bargain prices. This is what I found:

  • 550 bid pack sold for 4 cents. The auction winner used 1 bid, an estimated total cost of 24 cents.
  • 325 bid pack sold for 4 cents. The auction winner used 1 bid, an estimated total of 24 cents.
  • 550 bid pack sold for 10 cents. The auction winner used 3 bids, an estimated total of 70 cents.
  • 300 Tennessee bid pack sold for 7 cents. The auction winner used 2 bids, an estimated total of 47 cents.
  • 325 bid pack sold for 11 cents. The auction winner used 2 bids, an estimated total of 51 cents.
  • 325 Maryland bid pack sold for 11 cents. The auction winner used 3 bids, an estimated total of 71 cents.
  • 175 bid pack sold for 3 cents. The auction winner used 2 bids, an estimated total of 43 cents.
  • 225 bid pack sold for 45 cents. The auction winner used 2 bids, an estimated total of 85 cents.
  • 1,500 bid pack sold for 2.53 cents. The auction winner used 27 bids, an estimated total of $7.93.

Plus, about 20 more bid packs that sold at bargain prices–all within a 24-hour time frame. Looking at this trend, it was the right time to place bids on a bid pack.

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.
