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 love everything about this app! I have won many things and never been disappointed with any of them! Their customer service is quick to respond and helped resolve my issue instantly... Give it a try! Oh and anything & everything you win from "The Barrel Shack" is AWESOME and very well made...

Used the online chat for my first return... it was only a sizing issue, everything I get from these folks is always first class merchandise. James made it easy 1-2-3 and we were done. No questions, no interrogation,

They are not specific on how to bid for someone who is new to the site. I tried to ask questions beforehand but you can't contact anyone. Don't waist your time.

Thank you kindly for taking the time and leaving a review for us Jan! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the flyers and the bids, Happy Bidding!
It seems to me that there Title speaks of Easy to win auctions. I have had nothing but heartache dealing with these auctions. You see I would spend so much money on bids, just to lose them all! Every auction I entered was an all day, or all night one. Hundreds, and Thousands of bids, lost for small items like: Bed Sheets, Towels, Wine Glasses, etc. I tried mixing the time of day to enter. It didn't matter. I would look at previous winners, and scream! How they win at $1, 3, 5 just makes my blood boil!
There customer service dept. has been very heart felt with me. They helped me out several times. I can't Thank them enough. I just wish I didn't spend so much!

Have a fantastic day!
This site is definitely not for me. No doubt, i am sure you could get some great deals, but after being a member for months and probably wasting several hours on bidding, i have yet to win a single auction even by following their tips. I much prefer sites like Amazon or eBay since you don't have to throw away a whole half a day clicking your mouse. Also, as a mother of 2 young boys, i can't say i have much time to sit around and watch a timer tick down. Don't get me wrong, if you have had luck getting great deals... good for you, but personally i am just going to use my remaining bids just to I never have to re-visit this site again!

I won a $99.00 The Earth Company 100% Pure Jute cushion - Amaranth *******@DealDash for only $0.01! It came in at the perfect time too because I just had hip surgery and now I can be comfortable and stay eco-friendly! Plus the customer support team does an excellent job!

Have enjoyed DD for 2+years. Thought the new limits of one per week would be better, but it is not, since no total weekly winnings have been discontinued. The same people bid on everything available, and makes it very hard to win. Also, you can depend on these same ones to start bid when it's just below $5.00 bid entry, and people have invested lots of bids. I am going to take the "cure" for awhile, as spending $ on deal dash is now harder than winning at the casino. Thanks for a good run - Did win a few nice items when I first started, and all were of very good quality.

I have had very good luck with winning items on DealDash. I have won over 300 dollars in gift cards plus a camera, coffee pot and a cobra cb radio. NOW I took time prior to bidding to read the FAQ, check out reviews on the web and watched auctions for about a week before I placed my first bid. Once the mad Christmas rush started I stepped back a bit. Like anything you have to do your homework and take time to know what your doing. I love Deal dash and there will be a couple of happy people at my house for the holidays this year.

Wish there was more lower priced items to be won once in a while. The same things keep repeating themselves. Like the S3.00 bid cap. Don't hear back on very many you will be notified items. Would rather see smaller free bids with shorter bid time rather than taking weeks to get larger ones. I have stopped using all other bid sites because of the free shipping. I just bid less often and more conservatively now. But will keep playing until of if I find a better site.

I have so much fun attempting to win all sorts of products and bid packs. They reward you as you play and remain the top bidder over time. I even receive mailings from Deal Dash granting me a code to redeem free bids.

Hi Henry, I am happy to hear you are enjoying our rewards program and the flyers you have received as well! Happy Bidding :)
I have had many great experiences with DealDash and I love bidding on their site. However, they tend to send fragile items without the proper packaging so they get damaged in transit. If they would change this, my experience would be much better!

Enjoy your day!
I have won 4 items since 10/29/12. As of today 11/27/12 I have received 1 item. Waiting more than 3 weeks for a gift card. I would not buy from them if you are expecting to receive it by a certain date. Their customer service sucks! They never get back to you.

I did not understand signing up for deal dash and had some issues, contacted customer service, they responded back within 30 minutes, resolved my issues without any problems and apologized to me even though it was my misunderstanding. Great service, ordered from them and still using their services. Would recommend to everyone.

Nice case if the zippers worked, however they do not, brand spank'in new. I paid good money for it! I'm really am disappointed. You would think for the kind of money their asking you would at least receive a product that works. Suggestion, maybe Wilson&Miller start using metal zippers instead of plastic (JUNK) zippers that would be great. I really believe Deal Dash is a first class site if you take the time to understand what your doing and dont flip out like me lol

Got wrapped up in the excitement of the first day bought a little over 300+ in bid packs won 3 10 gift cards and a purse valued around 100 bucks if that, it sucks what a rip off stick with eBay people

I had an issue with payment between PayPal and my Bank.
I notified customer service who immediately answered back.
They were able to give me a clear concise answer on what to do.
Even I was able to follow as I am rather technology challenged.
( ( grew up when we used 2 tin cans and a string for a telephone).
Thank you to the staff at DealDash. You are wonderful!

Thank you Iora. Happy Thanksgiving!
What a scam! Let's start with the hook; DealDash does "sell" items at below MSRP. Now here's the part where they make their money; some of these "Auctions" can literally take days for an item to sell. Let's look at how it works, the price of an item goes up $0.01 every 10 seconds, that's $0.06/min but DD gets $1.20/min. Let's just use a full 24 hour sale. In 24 hours DD charges bid fees in the amount of $1,728 no matter who the bidders are. During that same period the "sales" price rose to only $86.40. An item that "sells" for $800 would take almost 10 days to complete the auction. In a real auction there are no bid fees so if someone bids higher it doesn't cost you a thing. That's a fair auction, DealDash is a variation of the well known Pyramid Scheme. Do the extra math, numbers do not lie.

Hi Robert,
Thank you for your review, we’re sad to hear you feel this way.
As a penny auction website, DealDash is unlike other auction sites that you may be used to.
While we do operate on the pay-to-play model, where we differ from other penny auction platforms is that we offer the option to get your bids back.
On DealDash, bidders that don’t win the auction may purchase the same item for the MSRP retail value using Buy It Now—doing so gets you not only the item, but the bids used in the auction are returned to the bidder so that they may use them again in other auctions.
As well, we noticed that you are still eligible for our 90-day 100% Money Back Guarantee on your first bid pack, so we have refunded this for you and sent you an email with the refund details.
Our Support Team is on hand 24/7! We hope you’ll get in touch with any additional questions or concerns that you may have.

Have a fantastic day!
I purchased lots of bids for 10 cents in 2015. Then everything went bad. Not enough gift cards now. They add bids to the cards value. Items sold are no name brands. Use to get gift cards maybe 5 per hour if lost bidding wars got my money back. Now it seems 5 per week. I make more $ off bank interest then buying a gift card from dealdash

In my experience auctions are far from fair or honest. The past winners info lures the bidder in but the actual amount needed to produce a winning bid is MUCH higher. As an experiment I entered 25-30 auctions, and at least 90% of the time the bidding reached totals 2-3 times the average amount required to win earlier auctions for the same item. New bidders seem to pop up out of nowhere when it seems like you are close to a successful outcome. Seems likely that bot bidding is going on.

Hi Jeff. Thanks for sharing your concern with us. Please note that we get periodically audited by Ernst & Young to ensure that there's no bot bidding on our website. We guarantee that 100% of the bids placed are placed by real people. If you wish to see the results of the audit, I'll be happy to send them to you. Please feel free to contact me on my personal email: adrian@dealdash.com
Great site that works well. Too bad Obama could not find the same programmers.

It's with Customer Support. I thought I had read or asked every question possible, but with my first bid pack I lost the auction's I tried for. Online tonight, 2/22/2014, one of their Customer Service Rep's. Was on. I told Andrew about it, he checked it out and my first bid pack is now back in my available bids to try again. Plus, he told me about their blog site were I could talk to more experienced bidders for tips. You don't get this type of service from other penny auction site's. Thanks Deal Dash I know now that I will see the winner on my user name.

Help and support people were wonderful. I found your policies were fair and well managed. I was pleasantly surprised by the integrity of your dealings with participants. I'm taking a hiatus because it's VERY easy to overspend... but that's me, not you.

I had accidentally created two different accounts with my same email address. They responded quickly to my problem and customer service guy Matt D figured it out and fixed everything even though the mistake was mine. I have great confidence now that DealDash is safe and have already received three of the items I won.

I've been bidding on dealdash.com for about two years now and have over 600 wins. These wins are great to say the least but in the beginning it seemed to be hopeless. There are all types of bidding strategies I've seen and some people just waist money by over bidding because they don't have any patience and want to win it NOW. Good luck with that fellow bidders. Its doesn't usually happen like that. New bidders should watch and learn first. Get to know your competition and learn their bidding habits and strategies. If not you can always learn the hard and expensive way.( keep buying more bids) Only go for things you would be willing to buy if you don't win and do not let your ego get the best of you cause the only one who comes out a big winner is DD.com Hope y'all have a great day
Tip for consumers:
Watch and learn first !!!!!!

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!
Hi Stephanie, thanks for your review! We're sorry for any misunderstanding. We do have a 100% Money Back Guarantee on your first Bid Pack. Please reach out to us at support@dealdash.com for assistance, we're available 24/7. Looking forward to hearing back from you!
