I've been playing this since 2012 and have won many items. It's a great way to purchase items at a low cost.
Not knowing what i was doing at the time i started to try to get something for less.
I found my self being charged on my credit card more that what the product could be bought for.
Sorry i'm old and shouldn't be doing something i know nothing about.
Thanks for understanding. This is not for me
Glad we could help Frank. If you change your mind, we'll be happy to welcome you back.
I have given this auction site a full week. I've been up at all hours watching, and have figured out how to us the auto bid. This is great. If I find something I like. I just put up what I want to wayger. And get up the next morning and see the results. I love it.
CHECKING? 10 second rule?
Well, I have one question that I would like answered.
Before I give any more stars.
And that question is what is with the 10 second bid not working when I'm the only bidder? The timer gets to 0 and a message flashes CHECKING.
Now the timer would be at 12+seconds if it continued to count down and BAM another bidder jumps in? That has happened 4+ times to me. I would like to know why the 10 second rule does not or is not allowed to apply in those situations?
Other than that it is an addictive experience
And I do enjoy the concept but until this CHECKING thing gets cleared up for me I cannot in good faith recommend anyone to deal dash.
Hi Charlie,
Thank you for your most honest, invaluable feedback here and I'm sorry to hear that you feel that way.
From what you have told me, it sounds like the web browser was not updating immediately. DealDash is one of the most reputable and trusted auction sites in the industry and all auctions are played with real bidders just like you trying to win a great deal. I'm sorry if this has caused you to think otherwise. As the site uses Internet as a medium, there is always the possibilities for lags, delays, network interruptions, etc.
In this case the system was checking for any booked BidBuddies from other members that it must activate and keep the auction running. I do know that no one has had any extra time or advantage to try and outbid you. In the case that you see the auction timer hit zero and you are not immediately congratulated with the fireworks animation, it may be the case that there’s a delay in automatically refreshing the website. I’d recommend quickly refreshing your browser to see if the auction has ended or not: either the auction is still ongoing and you still have a chance to participate in the auction, or you’ve actually won the auction.
One thing that may help is to keep other tabs, windows and browsers closed while bidding to help keep your computer running as quickly as possible. Also it is always good to use the BidBuddy when you can, as there is a system in place that will ensure your bid is placed even if there are any unexpected network interruptions or loading delays.
Fair & Honest is a symbolic capture of DealDash's core values, these values start and end with our commitment to being humanistic.
I would love to show this to you, as it seems you've had a negative experience. Please do not hesitate to get in touch with us directly, we are available 247 and we are always happy to help!

Your DealDash experience means everything to us.
I just joined and hadnt bidded yet realised my cards had been charged so I decided to opt out. I called customer service about it they promptly returned my funds. Very, very fast five mins. My funds were replaced. Thanks Deal Dash!
Worst auction experience of my life. I spent 6 hours bidding on an item. When the timer hit zero, I had the high bid. It congratulated another bidder and gave it to them. The next item I bid on, the time hit zero, I had the high bid again. There was a 2 second pause and then another bid came in and the time reset. Customer service said when the timer runs out Bid Buddy checks to see if it had to put in any bidsfor anyone. Deal Dash is a complete scam.
Hi Robin, I'm very sorry to hear about your negative experience. When someone has bids booked in their BidBuddy the auction can not end which is why the auction continued. We recommend using the BidBuddy because the majority of the auctions are won this way. Since you did not win an auction with your first bid pack, those bids have been returned to your account for a second chance. I'll be happy to help answer any questions you may have. Sincerely, Dave
I was skeptic initially to start using DealDash. I never tried any online site like this. After signing up I won a few items quickly so it kept me going. Then for a while I did not have much success. I was not winning hardly anything at all. But as I spent more and more time learning who is who and what strategies they follow, I occasionally won larger ticketed items. Then I learned different strategies and I started applying those. I am not going to lie, in order to win, you either have to have a lot of money or a lot of time; either way, however, it is possible to win big. I would say all the money I spent is probably only 1/3 of the value of items won. I am thrilled with the results. I also have to acknowledge I think very highly of customer service. They have been nothing short of fantastic. Well done!
Bidding on items on dealdash is half the fun. The items you win are worth the bidding because they are high quality. You need to read the rules before bidding to make it fair for all who you are bidding against. Dealdash wants to make the experience good for everyone.

Your friend,

Any time I've had a question or concern about the Deal Dash website or bidding process I just contact customer service and I receive a prompt and courteous response. Many other companies could learn a lot from Deal Dash's model. Thank you to the the Fairest and Honest bidding site on line.
I have won alot of items, some for just a penny, others have cost several hundred bid! Study and be prepared, you will not win the first time! Study and try again, it takes some skill and ALOT of bids!
Went to Dealdash.com to join. 2nd page said I could purchase 100 bids for $60.00 - when an Apple IPad sold for over 55.75 dollars, it sounds good but if you had to bid more than 100 bids, you would have already spent $60.00, Dealdash.com made $3,345.00 for all the bids on the IPad. If you look at how much it costs to bid 60 Cents per bid. Plus you have to pay the cost of the item, the things they sell in high demand cost way over the prices they are worth. Just beware when considering bidding. When it gets down to the last 10 seconds on an item, every bidder adds 10 seconds on the clock. I saw an item have 10 seconds left for over 2 hours. BEWARE the real cost.
We operate on the "pay to participate/bid model" so it's required that you purchase bids in advance. This loads up your account balance. You can check out our promotional bid pack prices here: https://www.dealdash.com/buybids
Each bid you place takes away one of your bids from your balance and increases the price of the auction by 1 penny, then resetting the clock to 10 seconds. It's in this small window that someone else must decide if they will place a bid to outbid you. If no new bids are placed and you are the final bidder in the auction, you win the auction at the final sales price.
If you do not win the auction, you will see the Buy It Now button. By using the Buy it now option, you will get the item for retail price and all the bids you used in that auction will be returned to your bid balance. Users who take advantage of this option usually have a better experience, since they get the item they initially wanted as well as retain all their bids. We always recommend our users to do the math, bid smart, and keep to a budget.

Business History
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!
