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

The reality is that Deal Dash is honest and fair. Not unlike slot machines in Vegas which are also honest and fair. A difference is that with slot Machines is that you usually win some of your money back that you normally put back in the machine. This is done over and over until you run out of money. With Deal Dash You buy tokens in order to bid on items. You can also bid on more tokens. If you actually win a bid you still have to pay the price of the auction on top of the cost of the tokens you use to bid with. So you may be able to buy an item for pennies if no one else is bidding. However, most of the time the cost of the item while increasing in cost by one penny at a time is costing the bidders 12-14 cents per bid. Several bidders are spending lots of money, only one will win. Often times the winner ends up paying more than the worth of the item being bid on. If all the bidders auction losses are calculated into the formula the actual net cost increases significantly. It's very easy to lose several hundred dollars in order to win a $100.00 item for 3-4 dollars. The site gives away tokens generously if you're actively bidding to entice you to keep bidding. Most of the prizes while they may be good quality, are things that most don't need or really want. You can trade the object you've won for more tokens.
Essentially you buy tokens to bid on tokens in order to get more tokens so that you can bid on thing you don't really need or want and trade back for more tokens. Unfortunately, just as with slot machines you run out of tokens and have to buy more. This profit concept is not hidden from the user but the excitement of the big win keeps people coming back for more. Deal Dash is paid for entertainment just like slot machines. People love to lose their money in an effort to win big. If this is what you're looking for, go for it but know that whatever you win for pennies will cost you dollars. Remember that there a lot more losers than winners and everyone takes their turn losing.

I never had more fun bidding on things I like and/or want than I do with DealDash. Sometimes even losing is a little fun. It's almost like Las Vegas.

Happy bidding!
All I had to do was send an e mail about my problem and everything was taken care of. I don't know of anywhere else I can get this kind of service.

I checked out the FAQ of this site before I started bidding and no where did it say that you will be reimbursed if you spend all your bids. The only way you can 'bid' on this site is to 'buy bids'. I paid $60.00 worth. Now underneath each photo of the product you're bidding on it has the price of the item and if you buy it outright you'll get 'this many bids back', because the FAQ did not say I would have to spend more money for the pleasure of bidding more once my bought bids ran out, I just assumed that once my bids ran out that because I did not win the product that my bids would be refunded. If this is what you are thinking too, you're wrong.
THIS IS A SCAM! Save your dollars and go to a site where you don't have to 'buy bids'. I'm sure each one of you can think of at least one popular site right off the top of your head.
Look at it this way... you go to a flea-market with the intention of buying something. Some flea-markets you don't have to pay to go inside, others you have to pay anywhere from $1.00 to $10.00 to get in.
Would you think the person running the flea-market a decent man or a scam artist if he told you that you can not spend one penny on any of the items at any of the vendor's tables unless you buy 'this many tickets for $60.00' and then added, if someone else buys the products you're interested in you're out of luck you don't get your sixty bucks back (or however much you gave for the 'pleasure' of shopping there). Of course you would call him a scam artist and warn everyone about him.
No one can tell me that this is not deliberate. If it wasn't deliberate, then this auction site would have the fact that once your bought bids run out you have to pay more, IN their FAQ or preferably on top of their home page in bold letters so NO ONE would miss it and everyone would know what they are getting into.
In their FAQ they say they are 'fair & honest' and 'if you don't win you'll get your bids back for a second chance' well I didn't win because I ran out of bids and I did NOT get my bids back.

Hi Joanne, sorry for any confusion about how the auctions work.
1. Buy Bids
2. Browse Auctions
3. Start Bidding
4. Win & Save
5. Did not Win? Buy it Now and Get Bids Back
If you don't win an auction with your first bid pack purchase - we'll give you a second chance. If you're still not satisfied with your shopping experience - we'll give you a full refund on your first purchase. Please get in touch with our support team and they'll be glad to help you out.
Thank you and Happy New Year!

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 Steve,
Thank you kindly for taking the time to write a review.
One thing to keep in mind is that on DealDash, there is no element of chance.
DealDash has no control over the duration of the auctions, it is solely up to the bidders and their placed bids to determine when an auction ends. That’s what makes it so exciting – there are no reserve prices regardless of the value of the item, and any bid can truly be the last one.
It's always a good idea to go into an auction with an idea in mind if how many bids you are willing to use to try to win the item. Keeping in mind that our Buy It Now option allows you to purchase the item and get your bids back if you don't win, this is definitely something to consider as part of your bidding strategy.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to get in touch. Our Customer Support Team is available 24/7 to help out via phone, chat or email.
