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

Total Scam
November 17, 2022

You will find some users have been members for several years. Those same users must be bots, workers, or something to that effect. Those users will bid on multiple auctions 24 hours per day. So in effect, this means that each of these users is literally spending thousands of dollars daily. I assume the implementation of these bots keeps the paying customers coming. I've spent hundreds and received nothing. Total Scam.

I contacted customer service via email. They had said it would take approximately 5 business days to respond. It was in fact less than five hours they not only contacted me but they totally satisfied my request and I am really blown away because it just doesn't happen like this.

Mediocor
September 12, 2022

The item I won was fine, however in the 10 years I have been with dealdash, in general, the items up for auction have become over valued, over priced, pretty much useless. Make up, gift cards to places, only city people have access to, clothing in petite sizes, cars? Boats? And buying bids to bid on bids?. Seldom do I find an item worth bidding on. Most of the time the "valued" price is inflated substantially, I can buy it much cheaper through the company or store. The excitement of the bidding ran out. I am just finding the whole experience less satisfying than it was even three years ago.

Hi Darcia, thank you for taking the time to leave a review for us. DealDash wants to bring a wide range of exciting and new items to auction, and to do so we work with major retailers like Walmart and Amazon, as well as multiple brands and distributors from Aava to Wilson & Miller. 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. If there are any items you would like to see on DealDash, please let us know and we will be more than happy to pass it onto our auctions team!

For the second time in a week, my bought bids are not reflected on a timely basis. It is now 5 hours later after I bought 900 bids through Paypal, their "preferred" vendor, and still a no show on my bid count. I have subsequently lost 104 bids on an auction item that I wanted to continue bidding on, but could not. It has ended. The initial email response from support was to apologize as they have been so inundated by increased auctions and business, but it does not help my bottom line!

I accidentally purchased $70 worth of bids
January 2, 2015

I accidentally purchased $70 worth of bids. I thought my charge card was going to be "on record" if I wanted to purchase. I have never done this before, so I don't know how it is supposed to work. I asked for a refund and it was promptly returned with a very polite email giving me $X amount of bids to try the system to see how it works! I haven't had time yet, but I am looking forward to bidding. I think I might like it and save $. I will most likely join then. Thank you for your generosity.

An Entertaining Way to Pass Time
October 7, 2020

For me personally deal dash has been a fun way to pass the time even though I don't win as often as when I first created my account. Also, any time I ran into any kind of issue the customer service was always very pleasant to deal with. However, if I could change one thing about Deal Dash, it would be the availability and frequency of when and how many free bids one could obtain - and all issues pertaining that area. Other than that, it is a nice site, as long as you are okay with losing majority of the time, but hey, that just makes each win that much sweeter!

I am writing this to anyone who enjoys penny auctions there are a lot of scam auctions out there DealDash is not one of them. They have so many auctions going that I was able to scoop items up for only a penny my first day. Also after an auction reaches 5.00 no new bidders can bid so no one can jump in at the last minute and steal an item you have been bidding on for an hour or more.

Beware
June 8, 2017

Cancelled my account without warning and never refunded money for purchased bids. Spent over $60 opening the accounts by buying bids. No additional support was offered. When I attempted to call to resolve the issue the representative used profane language and hung up on me.

Hi Aron,

Thanks for getting in touch. Please note that your two accounts were closed since there was a direct violation of our terms of use. You participated in the same auction with your two related accounts, which is strictly prohibited. Quoting our terms of use:

"Any kind of collusion or team play is strictly forbidden on DealDash. By definition, this includes, but is not limited to, two or more members working together as a team, or creating the impression that there are more people involved and competing to win an auction than there actually are, or placing bids until Buy it Now offers are earned and then switching over to another account to continue to earn further Buy it Now offers on the same deal.

DealDash does not allow two members that know each other to participate in the same auction. Two members participating in the auction are by definition engaging in team play, and automatically lose their right to purchase the Deal or receive any of their spent bids back.

We reserve the right to disqualify, in our absolute discretion, any users we suspect to be working in a team by voiding all their wins and freezing their accounts. No funds or bids will be returned or transferred into other accounts. If a user is found to have violated the Terms of use, any free bids provided to them and used, including those provided in the past must immediately be paid for by user at their current selling price."

You can access the full terms of use here: https://www.dealdash.com/terms-of-use

I´m afraid there are no refundable bids in your account, since all purchased bids have already been used in the auctions.

As far as the phone call where "profane language" was used, we record every single one of our calls, and haven't been able to locate the phone call you mention.

Our Customer Support team treats all of our users respectfully and kindly, this is our number one core value. However, if you could provide me more details about the phone call (phone number you called from, name of the representative, or any other relevant information), I'll be happy to double check.

I hope this explanation is helpful, and if you have any questions or concerns we'll be happy to assist.

Best,

Adrian

I love Deal Dash!
January 22, 2013

I love Deal Dash! When they make mistakes they inform their customers and apologize. I was very impressed with that. The only thing I wish Deal Dash would do is offer more quality products (other than electronics) for auction, ie, bread pan, canned air, and desk fan to name a few. But, I am sure they make some people happy.

Everybody loves auctions. It's fun to bid on items you want and try to figure your best plan to win them. Deal Dash offers you a wide choice of item types, prices and plenty of tips and training blogs to get started. Whatever your interests and whatever schedule suits you'll find a match.

Further, if you have a question or a problem, their customer service will amaze you! They respond as if they were waiting just for your contact and the sincerity and openness of their response displays a level of effort that is all too rare, nowadays.

I've been using Deal Dash for about 7 months now & just love the site!. A couple days ago I won a totally tricked out electric scooter worth well over $500 for about $160. I was so excited when I won it, that I put my wrong address down! Not a problem for DD, with a little help from Customer Service, Bam, they had it corrected before it shipped out. I am one happy bidder:-).

DealDash is really an entity of its own. I think they are behind all the products on the site but they do seem to be well designed and thought out.
Who's to say what is a brand and what is not? Prices to buy bids go up and down so try and buy at 12 cents (at time of writing, that's the best deal). It is a game and like all games, it has rules. Do your homework and don't just jump in and start bidding. Make sure you keep count of your bids. Price goes up by a penny but that bid costs you money and it adds up fast.
All that said, while there was stressful moments, I certainly had a lot of fun and Dealdash customer service was great and made the experience better. GL!

There are way too many rude people who use this site, if you're smart don't even start using this site. Look at it this way, if u buy an ipod for say $30 u'll be like "omg look how much i saved!" but in reality those $30 equal 3000 bids which each cost 60 cents. Dealdash makes 1,830 bucks for something they bought for like 100 bucks. And in my experience for the past month there are now way too many people to win anything for cheap prices that make sense. If you want my advice, don't even start or try this site out.

Hi Zach, thanks for your feedback and sorry to hear you don't enjoy the site. Each bidder has a bidder bio which they can update to share something about themselves. Although the majority of people use this in a kind and friendly manner to share hobbies, etc. there are some that use the bio to try and intimidate others - for example say. That they'll bid forever! Most people however just try to ignore the ridiculous or rude bios and then report it to our customer support team so we can remove the bio and request the person to use the bio as intended.

As for the price items get sold for it may seem that someone from outside the company could calculate the money DD makes using your calculation example, however these calculations don't take into account all the free bids used in the auction, the fact that bids are purchased on sale at 15¢ instead of 60¢ and that most people that don't win the auction get those bids back for free to try again after the auction is finished because they Buy it Now. With that said, of course we want to make a profit and we do so in order to exist so that we can continue providing a fun place to shop and get some great deals. We are the longest operating site of our kind in the USA since 2009 and there have been hundreds of PA sites come and go - one reason being they could not sustain supplying the deals therefore went bankrupt. All in all, we have about the same profit margins as an average retail store and it's our mission to continue providing a fun, fair and honest marketplace for people to come together and shop. Anyone interested in giving DD a try can do so completely risk free as we offer a 100% money back guarantee on your first purchase within 90 days - no questions asked.

If you'd like to learn more about our business please feel welcome to contact our support team via email or chat. I hope I was able to address some of your concerns and provide some useful information in this message. Sincerely, David

I just checked out deal dash for my 80 yr old mother because she kept seeing the commercials on TV. My experience was ridiculous! It ended up costing me a lot of money that I do not have! Luckily I was the one who did this and not her, considering she is on a low income! I was consistently shown as the higher bidder but my points would run out and you would have to buy more! This is we're a person could get ripped off because it continually keeps adding on ten seconds and never ends! I will NEVER use this site again!

Mostly good.
October 18, 2021

I enjoy deal dash for most products. I've won a few products with the most expensive being a $500 headphones that cost me $20 + bids for a total of about $40. There are however a few players in here that have made a name for themselves as "don't bid against me or you will lose". Basically their strategy seems to be to bid to infinite, just eliminate the competition. Even if the price goes above the retail and buy it now. When I see those names, I just drop out. They make it less fun or need a limit.
An example would be a $100 item. Buy-it-now would be $100. The action would go to $130 until they win. Taking a loss but I guess building up a reputation and overall profit.
It's basically the economics of eliminating your competition by taking losses.

I still play as long I avoid those players and really high prices.

Very fast response for this time of year. I am sure they are very busy at this time. I have been doing penny bidding with DealDash since 2010 and if I ever had a problem big or small they have always been quick to respond back to help me solve the issue. I just didn't expect being so close to Christmas and all I would hear back from them so quickly ( less than 24 hours) and take care of it. Thank You

Deal Dash is the BEST
July 24, 2016

I never thought it would be so much fun bidding and playing on deal dash. I have won at least 12 things in such a short period of time. The best part is some of the items were for only. 01.The other items did not cost very much. Just need to set your limits even though if I really want the item I will bid more!
My gift cards arrived within a couple of days. The other items came in about a week. The quality of the items were just as they stated, very well made and not cheap.
I am a fan and will keep on playing, thank you Deal Dash.

When I first joined, it was great fun
March 17, 2014

When I first joined, it was great fun. Now, there are complete junkies on the site that will bid for more than the item is worth.
For that reason, I usually only attempt to 'win' gift cards. At least when I don't win, I can BIN.:)
Great site, love the idea of it all, and love the items you list (things I've never seen or even thought of before sometimes), just wish those insane 'I will win, by God' people would find another place to play.
