Win With BIN

Do yourself a favor — Learn how to win by using Buy It Now on DealDash.com.

What do I mean by that? Let me give you an example: A $10 gift card was listed today and it’s already up to nearly $27 and the auction is still running strong. The first question is to ask “why”? Why would anyone continue to bid on a $10 gift card after it has already hit the $10 or more selling price?

Once an auction reaches its Buy It Now price, the only way shoppers can win is to BIN. If we buy-it-now at that point, we can still get the card, plus we will get all our bids back, too. The worst thing that can happen is for someone to “win” it after the selling price is guaranteed to amount to more than the value of the auction product.

This already happened to the previous “winner,” who ended up paying the selling price of $32.77, plus the cost of 180 bids that were used. In other words, this “winner,” actually paid a total of $68.77 for this $10 gift card.  Again, I have to ask: why?

Didn’t the “winner” stop to think about the fact that he or she could have gotten six $10 gift cards for $68.77 with money left over?

The above example shows a complete lack of planning on the shopper’s part. Therefore, the next time this happens, why not do yourself a favor and “win by using BIN.” You’ll be glad you did!
