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

When DealDash first started it was fun and you could actually win decent items at a reasonable price. Some of there electronic items were very generic and outdated. Customer service was good. Bid bots, hmmmm prolly! I really enjoyed this site until it got tooo big. The only other con is the time spent waiting and bidding until it ended,

I never enjoyed gambling. I don't play the slot machines or go to the dog races. This site is excitement for those who do gamble. You can lose money very quickly. BidBuddy is not there to help you, it is there to facilitate more bidding. The only one who gets a good deal is the seller. They collect on all those fruitless bids and end up earning far more than the item is worth. If you want to gamble, have a set amount and be willing to walk away. If you do win something, factor in all the unproductive bids. Also, if you lose the auction and buy the item you do not get your money back. You get your bids back if you buy the item. Quite a few items have the price ramped up to include the purchase of additional bids.

I have been with this web site for one year plus, may I say I have never had a real complaint for them. They have always treated me very well all my prizes or winnings have always been delivered in the best way possible and very fast may I add when some people were saying they were slow... no I NEVER had that problem and I have had packages delivered every month sometimes several a day came to my house... I love winning on this site and yes I have won a lot. It take patience and what is great too is: if you do not win the item you can purchase it and get the bids that you spent on it back, and PLUS it is shipped free to you

Yesterday I found a deal for GoPro that says "buy it now" for just zero dollar. I bought it then I got my receipt. When I checked the status of my order today, I found it voided! I talked to the online support, he told me that it is not possible for him to send me the cam for free. I said to him it was my first impression of this website because I'm a new costumer. Then he gave me a free bids for apologizing. It is okay, but I think if there is any error in the system, the costumer is not responsible for that. You should send the product to the costumer even though it was an error.

Some of the items are good.the good items are few. Winning them is next to impossible. There are bidders with money who outbid everyone.the bidders from before 2013 are more often outbidding everyone.

The timers seems to be rigged. Even if you are quick enough to bid at the -1 second mark you don't win the auction, the timer resets to 9 seconds and you have to waste MORE bids. This site is for people who have LOTS of money to buy bids and spend hours trying to beat the timer

Hi Carol, sorry if there's been any possible misunderstanding about how the site works. With each new bid the clock always resets to allow a chance for someone else to place a bid. If no new bids are placed the auction sells to the highest bidder. Our customer support team is always available to help with any questions so don’t hesitate to chat or email us at anytime.

I have used DealDash for many years and I have always had good experiences with them. The items I win always arrive quickly and in good shape. Lately I have just been bidding on the Kamikoto knife sets and I have not been disappointed! They are good quality knives displayed in beautiful boxes and arrive very quickly! DealDash is an honest auction site and if there are any problems they are very quick to respond and resolve any issues that might arise. I highly recommend this site if you like to spend your entertainment dollars in this way and get some great deals!

You will waste most of your money trying to win bids at a discount price which cost you twice as much. I would venture to bet that they have inside bidders! I deleted the app after spending $160 trying to win a $50 Texas Roadhouse giftcard. I am a little stubborn and wouldn't walk away. Items they offer are always the same. Not much variety. More bid auctions than anything. They will spark your interest with a few nice bigger items to win but watch out and remember that someone won 8k, 7k, 6k, 5k bids and you really have no chance unless you have money to waste! You can spend 3 hours battling it out with a few others and they someone else can join back in and all that time and money wasted. Save your money or you'll be sucked in.

I contacted DealDash to suggest that allowing the words Deal Dash to be included in usernames might lead to the impression that DD was running up its own bids. I heard back very quickly and was thanked with specific reference to my issue, not just a form letter. I am a DD fan!

I'm becoming more suspicious of some of the bidders. I think Deal Dash is running up the bids with boggus bidders. Can you give me any kind of assurance this is not happening? I know there is some tag-teaming going on.

Hi Ken, I can assure you we are not running up the bids with bogus bidders. We are also audited by professional third party CPA's to prove this. All bidders are real people looking to win a good deal. If you ever suspect any tag-teaming or team play going on please contact customer support know so our compliance team can investigate the matter.

If you have any other questions or matters you'd like to discuss or need any other assurance please reach out to support and feel welcome to ask for me. Thank you, Dave

I won an item November 16th, just got an email stating that my item is out of stock! So this site lets you bid of out of stock items, then offered me a $25.00 gift card or 193 bids to my account... I feel this is unfair and bad business. So my 60.00 bid pack gets me no won item nor a decent offer to make up for it... SMH

Charge for bids. No matter how much you bid you'll never win. Always a last sec bid to cause you to lose. Bid on a ps4. After using over 100 bids I still lost. It's a scam to get you to waste bids on items you'll never win so you have to buy more bids. Stay away from

Hi Robert
Thank you for your honest review.

I'm sorry to hear that you didn't win the PS4 auction.
I can certainly understand your disappointment with the winning price here had gotten quite close to the Buy-It-Now price.

You will occasionally see the auction price for an item exceed its value during 'Time as Highest Bidder' or 50% off promotions.

We, of course, are hoping you can win many of these items at a great discount! If you don't win an auction, we do have our Buy it Now option which returns the bids used back to your account. Some of the most successful bidders use Buy it Now, meaning they either win for a great deal or buy the item they want anyway and get all the bids back!

Did you know that we have a Second Chance Guarantee? If you don't win an auction with your first bid pack, those bids are credited back to your account free for a second chance. These have already been added for you if you want to give the auctions another try.

With all this said, we are truly grateful for you speaking up and being honest.
Your satisfaction is important to us and if you're still not happy with your DealDash experience, we also have a 100% money-back guarantee on your first bid pack purchase.

Our contact details are below if you'd like to discuss this or have any other questions.

Sitejabber for Business

Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.

From the business

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.

Business History

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!
