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

“Been here since the beginning and highly recommend Deal Dash!”

12/17/24

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!

Its a good website, it would've been better. If instead of the system doing its routine "checking," new beginners would actually have a chance of winning items. Just have it count down to zero and done. Instead of new beginners waiting there bids on items and don't win anything at the end but the customer support are incredibly helpful thanks to everyone. From customer service who have helped me. Mimi and kaylee..

Purchased a bid pack during the black Friday promotion for only 12 cents per bid. I won a $179 grill for only $3.46 using only 48 bids for a total cast of $9.22. I have won on every penny site that I have used and it is just as easy to win here as on any of the other sites. They also offer free shipping which saved a lot more. Try it, Bid smart and you will win.

I spoke with Kevin and I will tell you he is very nice & extremely helpful. He listens & understands your point of view. It's nice to be treated so fairly, unlike my experience with Quibids Auctions Customer Service...

I love this bidding site. They are not a scam. You can really win some great items if you take the time to read the tips section on the website. Also, shipping of most items is really quick. There may be a few items that will take longer, but they usually tell you in the description of the item. Customer service is very friendly and they resolve issues very quickly! I LOVE Deal Dash!

I had won two auctions, one was an ipod and another was a waffle maker. I have not received either one of these products and they were supposedly sent out and set to arrive on November 22,2012 and here it is December 3,2012 and I still have nothing along with no response to any of the emails that I have sent them either. If this company would be legit, I would think that they would offer a telephone line along with an address and website.

There is nothing fair or honest about this site. I purchased bids won 7 items and guess what every item I purchased that was not a giftcard was out of stock. They offered to replace them with free bids of giftcards. I paid the site 30.00 outright for a tea set they said that was out of stock, kept my 30 and offered me a 15.00 gift card in exchange! Or I could get free bids to bid on more items they dont really have.

Before you buy your next computer, tv, bike, and so on, check out dealdash.com and have fun with your purchase. You just might win it for a lot less. I love my new 500.00 indoor ac I got for pennies on the dollar. Plus I had a lot of fun winning it. It makes your day, and even allows you to be able to buy something else with the money you saved. Thank you for your time, Sharon Jean Clark body n beyond tattoos.

I love Deal Dash, the opportunity to replace and add to my home at a substantial savings is too wonderful for words. I now have art work on my walls and sculptures around the house & outside. I have acquired shirts & hats to wear when exercising, earphones for listening to music while walking.
My life has been improved by Deal Dash with the items coming up for auction that add to the quality of living.

Web site froze on 2 seconds and didn't accept my bid. By the time it did, they had awarded the prize to the other person bidding. It happened on Sunday night also, but I contributed it to a flood of people using the site; But, today I realized there was a technical problem with the website and it was freezing up randomly and then unfreezing and you didn't know where you were. I hope you get this problem filtered soon. It really taints the game.

FUN Passes time & win sometimes. However, I don't like the 6 or 3 auctions you can win & then have to wait a week to play again. I also don't like bidders that bid right after someone where the clock moves towards free bids, but I know you can't do anything about those bidders.

I have won a lot of quality products on Deal-Dash. I have no complaints about shipping and packing of items. It is a real rush bidding and winning. My problem with bidding is my own. I get too confident and over bid or stop to early and see the auction end right in front of me. Thank you for the opportunity to enjoy this site.

I have been an active member of the DealDash family for six years, during this time I have been fortunate to win tens of thousands in the auctions. This has given me the ability to share my good fortune with many others, especially those who serve in our military. I know how hard it is to provide for a family on a military income and by way of DealDash I have been able to ease the burden to many service members. Thanks DealDash for giving me a way to pay it forward.

Thank you,

Deal Dash for understanding how a Bidder may feel.

I am looking forward to your promise to make this change.

YES and NO

A box to check is perfect.

Box placed in an easy to see place, displayed before any of our bidding begins.

When the easily noticed box is apparent, I promise to delete the Site Jabber review letter.

And Praise your Site in a future review. " YaY Deal Dash " for listening.

We Bidders appreciate your site and love to play. A choice to insure is only

Fair and Honest.

Thank you for this change Deal Dash.

Sincerely,
Rodney

Hi Rodney,

Thanks for reaching out, we appreciate the feedback. I am sorry for the confusion here. We have recently implemented an optional extended warranty plan, which covers any malfunctions or damages to an item that happen outside of the standard manufacturer warranty.

We have put a lot of work into making the process as clear as possible for customers, giving them the option to select "Yes" or "No" to purchasing the extended guarantee during the checkout process. If you follow this link, you can see what it looks like: https://screencast.com/t/UyNPpgk5d

We will definitely take your feedback into account in order to avoid any further misunderstandings. Again, my sincere apologies for the misunderstanding.

I'm glad to hear we have refunded you in full for any of the accidental warranty purchases that had been made. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me. My personal email is adrian@dealdash.com

Best,
Adrian

I still think when you have been bidding all night., even thought you have the no jumper auctions. I still think it's unfair that someone is able to jump back in after you have ran out of all your bids. There should be a limit of time such as maybe 5 hours.

Waste of time and money, spending money on bids then to watch someone else jump in the auction and win in 4 bids. It almost seems like they have bots on their site taking items away from people who are trying to win auctions with hard earned money. Won't recommend to anyone.

I'm new at this bidding and didn't know what I was doing. I accidentally hit a bid button trying to go down the page. It charged my bank card (I didn't want to do that). Customer service sent me a email to let me know my problem will be resolved! Great CS!

DealDash has proven to be the most reliable, trustworthy, auction site that I have visited. I haven't had a bad experience at all. One product was the incorrect product, however DealDash took care of the problem without hesitation. The second problem was addressed immediately, I was given an option, and the resolution was promptly taken care of. I will continue to use DealDash, and I have recommended the site to many family & friends. Thank you for the wonderful products, and making sure your members are completely satisfied. Keep up the good work.

I'm done with this and won't be back. Unless you have unlimited time to sit on the computer & unlimited funds to spend, you are not going to win anything. Biggest waste of money & time. At least if I spend money on Amazon or Ebay I get a product in return. Here there is no return on your payment.

Good site... been on for a couple of months and won several items at a wonderful price. Made Christmas shopping a lot easier! Items were shipped quickly and are brand new in manufacture packaging. Won a 42" LCD 3D TV for $26... received within 6 days of auction win.

This is a fun website but please read the rules first. You don't get your bids returned on items you bid on unless you pay full price for the item. Pick your interests carefully and you can have a lot of fun. Customer Service was great to me when I first started and didn't understand how it worked. Have Fun!

Good advice Christine. We recommend people to only bid on items they are willing to buy in case they don't win. This way you get your bids back to try again.

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!
