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 enjoy the bidding & if you have a problem, it's resolved reasonably fast. I've just noted in the last 3-4 mths., some people have gotten to be ROTTEN players. It seems as if you become a target, & a few "players", gang up on you, until you drop out of the bidding. Yes, I've "stomped" players before. Everyone has, tho it's NOT my habit. I really enjoy, just seeing what's there to BID on & just relax & play. It would be GREAT, if every so often, you put BIDS down to 10 cents. No build up, ect./just had them@ a REAL special price/ see how MANY bidders take notice!

They handled my only frustration, which wasn't even with them, faster then I expected, with professionalism and care. I believe they went above and beyond and are a representation of what is missing in today's business.

The last three day I've seen something strange happening on DD. I'm limited on cash so I watch the site a lot and bid when I think there's a chance to win. What's been happening is a lot, and I mean a ton, of low end $10 and $15 Amazon gift cards have been going for $. 01 and a few more for no more than $. 03. Many of those are going to "first time winners". That seems to have stopped since last nite. During that same time period the $25 and up cards have been going of very high prices in general with a few under a dollar. This a/m the site wasn't updating like is is supposed to as well. Possibly internet traffic jam or maybe a denial of service attack?
The obvious inference on the cheap cards is DD is somehow allowing newbies to "win" a few to keep up the interest etc. I really think DD is trying to maintain a rep of honesty etc but when I see things like this m alarm bell start ringing!

Hi Ron, thank you for the feedback. I checked with our auction management team to see if there have been any changes with scheduling of gift card auctions. There have not been any major changes in the volume of gift cards scheduled. We did however add a few more higher valued gift cards such as the $800 Amazon, $500 Home Depot and $500 Walmart. It's likely you'll see even more higher denomination gift cards scheduled up for auction in the coming weeks. As for the price the auctions are selling for this remains very unpredictable, however trends show the lower valued auctions get less bids placed and therefore sell cheaper.
Regarding the site not updating well, our development team has been working on a new product releases and merging those updates to the database. I spoke with one of our developers and was informed they encountered a couple small bugs during the migration, however were able to react and fix those quickly. If you do notice any bugs please let our customer support team know so we can log the incident which helps our developers investigate and correct any issues.
If you have any other questions or have any suggestions on how we can improve your experience on the site please don't hesitate to get in touch. Sincerely, Dave
Every time I ask a question it is answered promptly and with courtesy.
Also, I had a problem with a purchase of a hand-made bag, which in my opinion did not warrant the purchase price, and Deal Dash sent a shipping label with a note to pack the bag and return it and they would return the purchase price.
Job well done!

Deal Dash is a good site, but the prices are high and the number of bids you need to use to get an item are very high too. Newbies just keep hitting bid instead of taking their time and bidding less frequently. They run up the price and number of bids you have to use. The newbies run out of bids and then complain about the site. Even though bid prices are cheaper than other sites you need to use more so it averages out.

I have received excellent feed back and information from the support department. It has given me a much better understanding of how the site works. I thought I was learning from other bidders and I should have known better.

I am embarressed to say that I placed over $650 over the last 2 days with Dealdash, and no matter which approach I took, I never won a bid. On three occasions, my computer screen would freeze up, and when I was able to pull the page back up, low and behold, someone had won the bid! Hmmm

Bid only on items you like.

Keep to a budget
Keep in mind, you can always re-coup the bids from all other subsequent bid packs by taking advantage of our Buy It Now feature.

If you like to be competitive from just a little bit to a lot then here is the place were you can go and win, in and win. Not to mention that it is a lot of fun. Really don't know who is competing but as you bid you will find out the short stayer or long haulers. If you want an item then pick your strategy flow you instincts and guess what you will win
It is easy and you decide what you want and how much to spend on bids but they are cheap so again it is easy
I have had a lot of fun over past two years won some great prizes and lost some because I took my eye off the game for just a little bit. Or I thought my strategy was correct and did not win
I think it is a great web site and opportunity for me, my friends and others to have fun and win great prizes. How about I have won a several great clocks and paintings. Not to mention some great jewelry that my wife loves
So join the party and have some fun

DealDash is a terrific site! I have been on other penny auctions sites, but DealDash is by far the most fun and profitable. I have won over 100 items at very reasonable prices, They have a lot of specials on this site like free auctions with cheap bids. This makes it a fun way to save money and win items. I will be bidding on DealDash for a long time as it is my favorite site. The Customer Service team is outstanding, anytime I have a question or problem, they get back to me in a timely manner. I had doubts at first coming from other penny auction sites where I didn't win anything, but once I started bidding and winning on DealDash I was hooked. I receive my items that I have won within a week or two so it is a WIN, WIN on this site, check it out!
Sincerely,

DealDash provides quality items to bid on and gives the bidder a fun shopping experience while providing bargain prices. The playing field is level for all the bidders. It's a treat reading the bidder bios. Thanks DealDash for giving the player a place to find great items at bargain prices. It's great fun!

I had an issue when I signed up it did not state that it would cost me an amount much less how much it was. When I found out I notified y'all and you responded very quickly and took care of the issue very quickly. I wish every business did that. I thank y'all very much and y'all have been so kind in this issue. I would recommend you to anyone because y'all do at least take care of your customers. It shows you have heart and kindness. Again I thank you

All of my dealings with Deal Dash have been smooth and easy. From time to time a item has been on back order but they have always filled the order as fast as they can. Deal Dash is like any store they run out of a item and like everyone else they have to wait for it to come in.

DealDash responded promptly to my problem, and I believe it will be solved as promised. I have had many previous successful auctions (and a bunch I lost). This is a first class business and I will continue as long as possible.

Deal Dash has the best Customer Service. I have had questions or problems and referred to Customer Service and heard from them in 24 hour or less in some cases. My problems turned out to be no problems. In some cases, they even rewarded me for my inconvenience. Way-to-go Deal Dash.

Love DealDash

I may not always win, but I don't always lose either. Its shopping at its best if you don't have time to get out to the stores or malls. It kind of gives you the feeling of casino betting to get the win. I find it entertaining. Its easier to not take so serious or you do get upset.
I find there are some rookies out there that do know the betting concept and do have the time to sit it out. I am more of an, in one minute out the next. I get busy.

I've enjoyed the challenge of getting the best deal at the best price. I've found items that I've wanted for a long time and it was exciting to 'play the game' while loving the bargains I've gotten. I'm so glad I discovered this site.

Great people to talk to if you encounter a problem or question. DealDash is a fun site to try to win great items. More trying than winning but its all fun, right? And the buy-it-now option cinches the deal in the end so you don't ever really lose.

Customer support at DealDash is the best I have ever dealt with. They answer your emails within a few hours, with a real person, and resolves your issues quickly and efficiently. They are always friendly, courteous, and very efficient. DealDash is the best!

It seems kind of fishy that 1 person wins over half of the dekdo hover boards and each time they get a good deal on them. Its always the same people bidding over and over. Just kind of hard to believe that they would have this many bids

Thank you for your note. We don't have fake bidders but the bidders who bid on the more expensive items are very experienced, have developed very good strategies and they have a lot of bids to use.
Are you new to bidding? If you are, we suggest you watch and learn the auctions and do not bid immediately on the expensive items. Start with the smaller items like $15 gift cards and the like. You'll notice many of these smaller prizes also have bids attached. I can't stress watching and learning enough-it's vital to learn from the best and see what they do.
Can you win a large item like an iPad with a few bids on your first time out? Of course, you can - but it's not likely. That's just the truth. Watch and learn and ask lots of questions-That's how you develop a great strategy for bidding!
Please write back with any other questions you may have.
They let you "win" enough to whet a gambler's appetite, then you pay and pay. You get just enough to keep you paying, but overall you end up paying way more for things than you would if you bought them outright. Stay away!

When shopping for things you're planning on buying anyway, why not try to win it at a good price. If you don't win, you can buy the item at regular price and get your bids back to try for something else. The auctions are really unpredictable and people win some really good deals every day.
I love this site the auctions I have won have fun getting involved even in auctions I didnt win are fun love reading peoples little stories about themselves are humorous. Cant wait to set my sights on something else that tickles my fancy will be soon very soon

I have been a deal dash customer for quite a while now, and I thoroughly enjoy every time I go on this website. They have great products, great prices, and overall a great place to get a good buy. I have always been satisfied with the products that I have received and I recommend this website to everyone that likes a good deal.

I visited the site several times and it shows the supposed retail price! I think those values are seriously exaggerated! And if you believe those values, you might spend hour after hour bidding for their stuff!

Thanks for taking the time to leave a review! It is the Manufacturer’s Standard Retail Price (MSRP) that is the base for our Buy It Now price. Of course, we are hoping you can take part in the auctions and win many of these items at a great discount :)
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!
Thank you so much for the 5 star review Janet! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying your auction win and Happy Bidding :)
