My Top Gift Recommendations on DealDash

With the holidays just three months away, you’re probably wondering what the best gifts are on DealDash.com. I’ve taken a look at every single category of items on DealDash and come up with the following personal recommendations for gifts you can find on DealDash:

Bid Packs – This is the gift you give yourself—the gift of a great deal! It’s my recommendation to start out slow with a 100, 150 or 200 bid pack and set a goal of how many bids you will place. I usually set a personal goal of not spending more than ¼ of the number of the bids in the bid pack. For example, if I am bidding on a 100 bid pack, I won’t go over 25 bids to win it. I consider this a good deal as far as wins go. If you want to stick with it with more bids, remember you can always use the Buy it Now feature to buy any item to recoup all the bids you spent on that item.

Bundles – These great sets of like items are the best of money-saving ideas. Keep in mind that bundles should always be scoped out ahead of time with alerts and bookmarks set so you’ll be ready when the bidding starts.

Electronics and Computers – My top gift recommendation in this category is earphones. There are several types and styles to choose from and include: corded, Bluetooth enabled, ear buds and earphones and headphones styles that range in retail price from $129 to $510 and are a gift anyone of any age will love.

Gift Cards – See the above recommendations and my personal rule of thumb for bid packs. The same holds true for gift cards. I recommend gift cards for restaurants and retail stores for a never-fail any time gift.

Fashion, Health & Beauty – My top gift recommendation in this category is jewelry and watches. I have surprised many family members with beautiful jewelry won on DealDash. And one of the best wins I recently snagged was a gorgeous watch that I gave to my dad for Christmas. He wanted to know if I won the lottery!

Hobbies, Toys, Outdoors & Games – My favorite gift recommendation in this category is the waterproof backpack. As an avid fisherman and camper, my son absolutely loves his and wants another—so you know it’s a great find.

Home, Garden & Tools – Bedding is my top gift choice in this category. From sheet sets to duvet covers to quilts and more, DealDash has everything to make your bedroom your sanctuary. In multiple colors and styles, DealDash is the place for bedding.

Kitchen & Dining – If you have a wine lover in your family as I do in mine, they will be super impressed to receive real crystal hand-blown stemware as a gift. You can choose from snifters, red and white wine glasses and champagne flutes as well as a decanter.

Vacations – The newest and greatest in gift recommendations is in this category. Of all the vacations offered on DealDash, from Vegas to Boston to Bali and beyond, my favorite offering thus far is Hawaii. Who hasn’t dreamed of going to Hawaii? And if you get a bargain price on DealDash—even better! It’s the ultimate gift!

Whether you’re going small or going grand, DealDash is definitely the place to get all kinds of gifts for you and your loved ones. Check out all DealDash has to offer today!

Good luck and happy bidding!

Wise Shopping Rules

Wise shoppers win more auctions on DealDash.com than the average shopper; and it does not happen by accident.

After watching how wise shoppers shop, I made a list of various strategies wise shoppers use to save bids and money. By following these rules, you could join the wise shoppers list, too.

  • Always purchase bids when they go on sale.
  • Avoid shopping when you are too tired to stay awake. I lost many auctions because I fell asleep at my computer, even though I had enough bids in my account to win.
  • Check to see how many bids most previous players used to win the same auction. That’s how you can get a good idea how many bids it might take to win.
  • Start with “easy-to-win” auctions. Check the featured winner’s list to see what items have been selling low. Usually, the higher the value of an auction product, the more difficult it is to win. However, some high-dollar items sell extra low every once in a while.
  • Focus on one product at a time, but not necessarily only one auction at a time. If the same product is up for auction at various times, it might be a good idea to place some bids in each auction. Keep an eye on them and go with the one that looks like it has the least competition and will close the earliest.
  • Always use the automated bidder, BidBuddy. To locate BidBuddy, double click on the auction product you want to win to open a new window. That’s where you can find BidBuddy and count your competitors.
  • Always bid when the competition is low. To improve your chances of winning, do not compete in auctions with more than 30 competitors.
  • Save the bulk of your bids until the auction gets down to the last two or three active bidders.

By following these rules, you should be able to win more DealDash auctions.

Things to Think & Learn About Before Mastering DealDash

The main reason we sometimes make bad decisions is because we did not take the time to stop and think.  The same thing is true when shopping on DealDash.com, too.

When you became a member of the DealDash community, did you take the time to read instructions how to play smart, stop and think about developing a winning strategy or did you just jump in with both feet and start bidding?

Before playing on DealDash, did you read any of the information available on the home page? Do you know what is meant by “time as highest bidder” and how that works? Do you know how to find and use BidBuddy? Did you read the “Tips and Tricks” or any of the many DealDash blogs?

If your answer is, “No,” then it might be time to say, “Whoa,” and start over. On the bottom of the DealDash home page you will see four headers: Site Links, Help, About and Latest Blogs. If you want to “Get Smart,” that’s a good place to start.

Help Available

I played on several other online penny auction shopping sites before I discovered DealDash, and I can honestly say DealDash provides more information on how to play smart than any other online shopping site I’ve found. To learn how to improve your shopping style to win more auctions, all you have to do is read.

If you still have questions, you can always contact customer service. They are “user friendly” and always glad to help any way they can.

 Use These Saturday Tips from the August 25th Blog

The theme of August 25th’s blog was full of tips to use on Saturdays DealDash. The top tip of that blog was simply to find the right time to bid – taking into account time differences from coast to coast. Here is the gist of that idea, from the blog:

“ You will have to take into account the time differences. For example, if you are on the East Coast, a good time to bid might be during mid-morning when a lot of people are out to brunch, but the people on the West Coast might still be sleeping. Play around with the times, you’ll find your sweet spot.”

Look Ahead to the New Week! From the August 27th Blog

The blog article on August 27th had interesting tips about the new and different items and promotions on DealDash. One of these points is that some of the newer items are slow sellers at first.  Here’s what the blog had to say about this phenomenon:

“You might be surprised to know that these new items aren’t always huge sellers when they are first up for bid. Sometimes it takes a little time for people to notice these new auctions that are available and just waiting for people to bid on them.”
