I've been playing this since 2012 and have won many items. It's a great way to purchase items at a low cost.

I don't know what specific experience I experienced on 12/7, however, I have, over the years filled most of my gifting needs through my Deal Dash wins. The quality of the products have always been very good and there is something here for everyone. I have only had 1 or 2 hiccups over the years.but the staff is always very simpathetic and quick to make the situation right. I will continue to be one of Deal Dash's biggest fans!
The same people win all the time! They appear to have unlimited bids, and enter multiple auctions at once. Do not like the new format and doubt I will continue playing once my bids are gone. It's just too hard to win these days!
I have had lots of fun bidding on items for auction with Deal Dash and have won some amazingly high quality items in the process. Whenever I have had interaction with the staff they have always handled things using a customer centered service model that has always left me feeling like a valued customer. I have included a picture of just some of my winnings. The pens came in packs of 5,10, or 20!

You can be rewarded if you pay attention and stay up on you opponents bidding. I enjoy the competitive factor, however it can get expensive. I have some very good items and my wife and myself are enjoying them on a daily basis. Shipping is improving, as it has been a bit slow in the past. But like I said it is better and keep up the good work. Thanks to James, as he keeps me positive with your company.

At first I could not stop winning with first bid pack... Than spent over a 100 dollars and won nothing... Bid during last 2 seconds and it would not accept it. Stay far from this site. There must be people being paid for there reviews here.

Sorry to hear you've been having a hard time winning more auctions recently. People tend to have a much better experience and win more auctions when using DD not just as a bidding site but as a shopping site too. In case you lose, just buy the item you wanted at regular price and get back all the bids used for a chance to win and save on something else. This is why it’s recommended to only bid on items you like. Our customer support team is always available to help with any questions so don’t hesitate to chat or email us at anytime.
Dealdash is excellent. I've bid on and won several items, almost all for under $1.00. It's a great site to get awesome items at a fraction of the retail price, and shipped to your home for free! I would certainly try it!

Deal dash is a great company who are fair and honest and have a good turn around time on addressing people's concerns. I highly recommend them as an institution that has policies that are smart and progressive, who's aims are complete customer satisfaction!
Thank you Dealdash!

All auctions I got involved in seemed to go higher than any other auction for that particular item. I ended up spending $1,950.00 in about one month and had nothing to show for it. I won a few auctions but overall, I lost my shirt on this site. I may try it again but only if there is more chance to win.

I have gotten a few really good deals on smaller items but I've gotten ripped off as well. Bidding on bigger items takes a lot of bidding and in my case, I ended up losing over 600 bids and not getting the item because my bid buddy ran out of bids before I could buy more and the auction ended. I just can't afford to throw away $75 dollars and get nothing. I get the whole point of dealdash and a lot of good deals are to be had, but it doesn't work out that way for everyone.

I want to thank DealDash for the following;
I went online to check it out and I thought I just signed up and gave my debit numbers so in case I wanted to bid I would be ready not realizing I bought $75.00 worth of bids.
I panicked as my money was already accounted for and this would throw me into overdrafts at the bank and created major problems at home.
DealDash worked on my request almost immediately and are refunding my money.
A site to be trusted thats for sure and I hope to be bidding soon.

I have nothing negative to say about DealDash. My experience, so far, has been great fun and I have won so much more than I ever expected! I have not won every auction that I bid in, and I don't expect to. I read everything on their site before I started bidding. Any question I had was answered either by the site or a Customer Service Rep. They replied in an unbelievably quick timeframe and were happy to help. If you bid on only items you would buy anyway then you cannot be harmed. All your bids are returned to you if you lose the auction and then use the BIN feature. I, too, have compared the prices they list with store prices and have not found any discrepancies so far. Studying the site first is key. Read the tips! Spend only what you can afford! Do not expect to win every auction! I am completely satisfied with DealDash and having a great time!

Thank you Ginny, this is great to hear! We're always available if you have any suggestions on how we can make the experience even better. Have a great day, Dave
I've had a great experience with DealDash as a new bidder. The site is so easy to navigate. The explanation on how to place bids in the tactics and tips section was so helpful in getting me started. The Bid Buddy is an excellent bidding tool. I have won multiple deals and each and every time is thrilling! The merchandise is very high quality and I am impressed. Thank you DealDash for making it so much fun!

Overall, I enjoy Dealdash and have won some cool stuff. However, I am disappointed with the inconsistent inability to add bids when using bed buddy that cost me the auctions and lots more trying to win items for my nautical themed guest bedroom. I hope that the support staff can work with me on a resolution.

I have been on DealDash since 2012, I have won many auctions from $500.00 Walmart gift cards for $13.00. You cant win every auction but if you use bid buddy and watch the bidders on the auction you can win guaranteed. And remember there will always been that same auction coming up again soon.

Have a wonderful day!
It's an ingenious business model. I joined on July 5,23 and I have won 33 auctions including a couple of big ticket items. One of those bit items for dirt cheap (just dumb luck) I don't have unlimited funds and I don't have unlimited time but I learned quickly 1) only bid on items that I want; 2) who the heavy bidders are (and stay away from them); 3) understand how much I'm willing to lose. For me, it's no different than buying lottery tickets and never winning (kiss that money goodbye) or going to a casino. At a casino, I know I am not going to win but I want to have fun playing so I know how much I am willing to pay for that fun. I love playing DD using strategy. There's lots of info available on the bid page that can help you make a decision to stay or quit. And patience. Lots of patience. It's not a scam... you pay and play. Do your research and understand how it works before you jump in and have unrealistic expectations. It's gambling for sure, but I would rather spend my money and receive products than buy lottery tickets. I will probably take a break for a bit from this spending spree. And then I will look to going back.

Yours,
James & the Team at DealDash.
I like DealDash partially because it is challenging. I would warn everyone to be cautious of their bids, and consider whether they are truly receiving a deal. There are professional users who know how to play the game, and will outbid you until the cows come home (and then some). Add the cost of bids and consider auctions lost- is it really less than shopping around and being patient for a deal somewhere else? Remember when you lose auctions, your bids pay for the winner's item (which is how the "deal" is possible)..

I find penny auctions fun and winning is the best. Deal Dash is NOT like other penny auctions. Beware-there are some scams out there. In this case, it is always a win-win because if you do not win the item, you can buy it and get ALL your bids back. No other site is like that.
The most important advice is learn to play BEFORE you bid.
The customer service is great and I have won lots of items for less than retail; some even for a penny.
DealDash is trustworthy and honest.

Great point Debbie. Unfortunately some companies have really tarnished the entire reputation of pay to bid websites causing people also to call DD a scam which is not true. As you know we are a retail shopping site where people can bid to win great deals otherwise just buy the item at normal retail price and not lose any of the bids. We appreciate the good feedback. Thank you for sharing. Dave
I have won a ton of beautiful items on DealDash. It is fun and exciting! I am not rich, tho. I choose my auctions carefully and bid at times when I am more likely to win. Their customer service is the best. I have had nothing but wonderful times. Every single day I enjoy and appreciate the things that I have won. Thank you DealDash!
Tip for consumers:
Don't start out on big ticket items. They are harder to win.
Products used:
Painting, pottery, clock, wine glasses, wine rack, vase, flatware, lladro porcelain figurines, jewelry, bathrobe, perfume, sheets, bedspread, etc.

Thank you so much for taking the time to leave such a great review for us Patti! I'm happy to hear of your great wins and thanks for sharing some bidding tips. We look forward to hearing of your future wins, Happy Bidding :)
The only people who can win on dealdash are rich people! If you are rich then by all means, but if your low on money and trying to get things for less then this isn't the place for you! You will lose hundreds of dollars just to gain nothing and not get it back! Your just better off paying full price for it at a retail store! You have to pay to buy stuff and that's only if your that lucky! You'll have better luck playing the lottery or scratch offs and spend less money doing so!

Hi Shawn. Thank you for getting in touch. I'd like to clarify that over 50% of the auctions we sell are won at 90% off retail or more. We do provide great savings to our customers. If you need any help with bidding strategies or how to be successful in the auctions, you can always send me an email: adrian@dealdash.com
Have a great day.

I was frustrated after spending over 6 hours bidding on an item and when I went to purchase additional bids they were extremely costly and no longer offered at a sale price. I lost the auction due to this situation that I have never ever seen before. DealDash listened to my complaint and were willing to work with me to improve the situation. Thanks for listening DealDash!

I have tried multiple times to get my money back per their "No Questions Asked 100% Money Back Guarantee!
-Your entire first purchase back if you are not 100% satisfied!
-Win or Lose - no questions asked. Full refund will always be granted automatically.
-To get the refund, simply email *******@dealdash.com within 90 days." to no avail as no one will respond so lets try this! I want my money back this is a biggest scam site ever! You cannot get in touch with a human! Phone numbers are not in service!
Date of experience: July 21, 2014
Hi Jamie, yes this is correct. All customers are entitled to a full refund on their first purchase within 90 days - no questions asked. I sent you a private message last week requesting your user name or email address however have not heard anything back from you. If you still need assistance you can also email our support team. Thank you.
You can win items that are good deals BUT chances are you will lose just as much as you win if not more. I'm a smart bidder, I watch bids, don't put bid buddies on unless it's down to a few but this site has issues. Basically to win anything you will have to watch the item for hours on end. If you book a bid buddy, chances are someone will spam you until it runs out. I've found it extremely curious that as soon as I take a bid buddy off (say because four more people placed bid buddies or the people I'm bidding against have had bid buddies going for the past five dollars) the next person after me wins it. That's happened at least five times. I honestly think that some people (whether it be DealDash team members or ordinary users) work in teams to drive bids up and bid aggressively on people to deter them.
I say, buy the stuff on amazon and save yourself the frustration.

Had an issue with a bid pack being purchased unauthorized. Contacted th support team and received a response 24 hours later. The next day the refund was returned to my account and I was gifted 500 free bids just to keep my business. All in all, good customer service.

Today I used Deal Dash for the first time as I was craving Cheesecake Factory cheesecake while at work. The whole process was extremely easy. I was kept informed on the delivery status and it arrived shortly before expected. Would definitely recommend. Don't understand why so many poor reviews.

DealDash is a great app that has good quality products for fractions of the retail prices! I love it! Helped me get expensive gifts for all the family for Christmas and hardly paid anything! Totally recommend it!

Dealdash.com has some serious issues, website was attacked, before the attack I had like 38 bids, then after they "fixed it" I had -54. Not sure how you get negative bids. Told them about it and then I had zero. I wrote to complain and was told that is what I am supposed to have!. Whatever don't waste your time there are much better sites out there, more professional, better programming and better run

Bid on auctions and save. All auctions start at $0 with no minimum price reserve. Everything must go! DealDash is the fair and honest bidding site. Founded in 2009, millions of bidders have enjoyed Deal Dash auctions since.
Established in 2009, DealDash is the longest operating site of its kind in the United States. Before DealDash was founded, millions of Americans tried out 1st generation bidding fee auctions. These first generation auctions left many people with a poor experience.
After one such letdown experience, spending $50 on a pay-to-participate auction site with nothing to show for it, our founder decided to create a fair and honest alternative to bidding fee auctions, where losing bidders don’t have to lose the money they spent bidding. That is how Deal Dash was born in 2009. Today, over 1,000 brand named products are discovered and won by customers every day!
Bid in our online auctions to catch a deal and if you don't win the auction, you can buy it now and keep on bidding!
Ted,
You are the best.
