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!
What a scam! This should be illegal. Buy bids for 13 cents to raise the bid 1 cent. Who ever heard of an action where you have to buy bids? There are a handful of winners and a whole bunch of loosers, and deal dash rakes in the cash. It reminds me of the old pyramid scheme. Run away!

I had won the Doting Dews Amos Earrings & received an email from their customer service letting me know. They did offer 3 other options, another pair of earrings; a ring (both by Doting Dews); and a refund along with 721 bids. I chose the first option the Doting Dews Harriet Earrings. They replied within a couple of hours and placed my order that quick. I would like to thank DealDash Customer Service for working on the issue so very fast.

Thank you so much for the 5 star review and your kind understanding in the matter. I'm happy to hear our Happiness team was able to resolve the issue right away and we are here for you 24/7!
Must be careful as there are many "high rollers" on the site that will spend as much as they have to too win.
Many players spend way over the purchase price because they are just entertaining themselves.
Just do not get hooked and be smart.

Hi Paul! Thank you for your review. Bidding in auctions on DealDash can indeed be competitive at times, and it does require strategy and patience. We encourage all users to develop their personal strategy and set a budget for themselves. Our "Buy It Now" option also allows users to get back all the bids they've used in an auction if they choose to purchase the item at its Buy It Now price, ensuring that they don't lose their bids. If you have further inquiries or need assistance, please reach out to us at support@dealdash.com. We're here 24/7 to support you. Thanks again for your feedback!
I am pretty new to this so have not had the time or money to build up thousands and thousands of bids and cannot compete with high bidders who bid on every bid pack if there are 12 bid packs for the same amount these high bidders bid on every one of them at least once giving them the ability to come in at the last minute and bid and win I think they should all be (fist) no bidder after a certain limit making it fair for all
This way these high bidders have to have bids already placed and cannot re-enter at the last minute
I have hung in there using all my bids and getting close to winning then these high bid people come in at the last minute and stay until they win. It's really hard to win any high bid packs I have won my share but have spent every bid I had to do so
Just feel it would be fair this way and give new customers more of a chance to compete
Thank you

Hi Elane, thank you for taking the time to share your thoughts. We value your feedback tremendously as it helps us understand how we could possibly enhance the experience for users. We do have No Re-Entry auctions where bidders are not allowed to re-enter if their BidBuddy runs out after the No New Bidder limit has been reached, we will send you more information about this via email. If you have further questions or concerns, please feel free to let us know! We are always available and happy to assist. Happy bidding!
You can buy $50 in bids which is say 20 bids you bid 20 times and after every bid someone out bids you so on bid 21 your out of bids down $50 but others keep bidding and since it only goes up 1 cent if no one bids after the time limit say after bid 22 it sells for 22 cents alot of people loose alot of money that's how these "deals" are paid for its a legal twist of words for people who take the easy way out instead of trying to run a actual business. Not founded in the USA enough said!
Tip for consumers:
Just go to the store unless your that bored you have better luck on a gambling site

Hi Jon, thank you for your comment. We do not hide the fact that we are a pay-to-participate auction site, and our business model is not based on tricking customers into purchasing something they don't understand, rather it is a unique twist on auctions where you pay to bid. That said, even when including the cost of bids and the final price paid, the vast majority of auctions are bought for less than retail price. We have thousands of extremely loyal customers who have been with us for years, have scored countless incredible deals, and LOVE the intense, strategic, pay-to-bid auction model that we offer. However, we understand that DealDash may not be for everyone, so we offer a 100% money-back guarantee on your first purchase of bids, no questions asked, so trying us out is risk-free. If there is anything we can do for you, please reach out to our amazing customer support team. Have an amazing day!
I posted a negative review. I stand by the negative review. However, Dealdash did reach out to me and refunded my money. I move to 2 stars due to this. My review is still negative due to the fact that you will lose lots of money. They have preferred bidders. The warning stays the same on the fact that you will lose money. Also be aware that you can lose a bid at the last seconds due to "system errors". Giving bid to the other person. This happens a lot
Tip for consumers:
Dealdash is not for newbies or for those with small amount of money to spend. THUS IS NOT A PENNY AUCTION SITE AS ADVERTISED. The "penny bid" is actually $0.13-$0.22 cents A BID. they don't tell you this. Nor do they mention that you will be charged $70+ on your credit card once you sign up. However, they do issue a refund if you reach out to Dealdash about the charge. But it's a crappy way to get business.

Sorry for the inconvenience here Kim, DealDash operates on a pay to participate model, so bids are required to be purchased in advance to participate in the auctions. Please reach out to us directly if you haven't already and we will be more than happy to assist with a refund, thanks!
Around 2011, possibly 12, I became a player of Deal Dash. I won a Gerber knife and a small convection oven. Both items were quality. After a week, maybe two, I began noticing the frequency of being pitted against those who seemed to have unlimited number of bids. I contacted customer service about the unfairness of bid packages and the advantage it gave to those who were rocks from 2009, maybe 2010. I never received a response. That bothered me. I would have stayed with Deal Dash were it not for bid packages. Auctioning bid packages is cash money for Deal Dash. The bids are computer generated and are not tangible like a toaster oven. I won't declare Deal Dash a scam, but I disliked the bid packages because to win one is difficult because the competitor is bidding with unlimited computer-generated resources that overwhelm.

Its to hard to bid aginst your big bid winners who have to many bids and can out bid anyone.
Most j in st auto bid a large amount so you dont have a chanse of winning a auction. You need to limit how many auctions people can bid on at one time. At times you cannot find a auction that does not have a bud pig biding on it.

We will reach out to you directly to get more information as we would love to assist further and help improve your experience. Looking forward to hearing back from you!
I think the items they offer are overpriced. I just signed up today to try it out, if don't win any auction after I spend the 500 bids I purchased, will not buy anymore. See screenshot https://snipboard.io/UZw7bx.jpg

Thank you for your review! We're sorry to hear that you had a less than satisfactory experience. We take your feedback to heart and want to ensure your concerns are addressed. DealDash is a unique platform that conducts daily auctions, allowing customers to win a broad array of items at stellar prices. We're unable to match discounts from other stores as our Buy It Now prices come from the Manufacturer’s Standard Retail Price (MSRP). We do have a 100% Money Back Guarantee on your first Bid Pack. Please reach out to us at support@dealdash.com so we may assist further, we're here 24/7. Have a great day!
You have ones that have such great bidding power. They wait for a newbie to run the bid up to about $5 then the Old deal dash members scramble and take over The newbie lose all their bids. Power in numbers. The only chance way to win is to buy a $#*!load of bids 600+ You pay more than it's worth because you just want to win to recoup your lost bids. This site isn't new user friendly at all. Deal dash is not fair to most. You have to many Bidding bullies. I think I'm just going to delete my account. No real chance

Hi Devon, I'm sorry to hear about your experience. There are many factors that can go towards the auctions such as numbers of bidders on that auction on a particular day, the promotion we are running for that day, the bidding strategy users are using, and the popularity of the item itself. We also offer a money back guarantee on the first bid pack purchase, along with a second chance guarantee for your first win on DealDash. Kindly reach out to support@dealdash.com and we will be more than happy to turn your experience around!
I recently bid on a 425 bid package. I purposely entered the bid late. Another bidder started long before me and must have placed more than 425 bids and couldn't have possibly come out ahead. I finally quit bidding, and someone else (third party) won. WTH DD are you putting Sleeper biders in the auctions just to bid us up?
Date of experience: April 3, 2023
Hi Stan, thanks for your comment. The winner in an auction is determined when the timer hits zero seconds, meaning the last bidder who placed the bid would have won the auction. Users can use our automated tool Bidbuddy to place bids for them and we recommend users to use Bidbuddy, as it guarantees the bids will be placed into the auctions. Just reach out to us directly and we will be more than happy to further investigate the auction for you.
I joined Deal Dash this weekend and was highly dissapointed and feel robbed. People have learned to game the system using bidding buddies. It happened to me in three of my five bids. Within seconds of stopping my bids someone wins? My bids are in Purple.

There's a new deal dash commercial circulating right now. The 1st example of a great deal is a $1000 camera. It's an obvious lie. It's a cheap 'grab & shoot' camera, something for kids at best. Deal dash is a ripoff. Trust me. They ripped me off years ago!

Hi Joe, thanks for your review! Rest assured, it's the Manufacturer’s Standard Retail Price (MSRP) that is the base for our Buy It Now price displayed in our Marketing. I'm very sorry to hear that your experience with DealDash years ago was not positive. We would love to assist you further, please don't hesitate to contact us at support@dealdash.com, available 24/7. We value your feedback and are here to help provide a better experience.
Do not use the Buy It Now feature, as they are severely overinflated. There is always a dirty dozen of players lurking in the background that bid on everything in every category and overbid 500+ on even the smallest value items. The playing field is not level or fair. The only way this site would be fair is to reserve the $100 or less items for the beginners. Couldn't win even 100 bids or a gift card without the high stakes bidders taking over. The Same People on DealDash Keep Winning. Study the past winners. There should be more no exchange items and limits on how many items you can exchange. The top 1% of winners win 60% of all auctions, just to convert the item into more bids. If you're bidding against one of these professional auction bidders, you're going to lose.

It's impossible to win a bid. You sit for hours, even days bidding 1 cent at a time. And you loose your money each bid. Not like a regular action where you only pay I'd you win. No, you pay for each bid. And NEVER win. Even at 3 am. Even tried for stupid items like lip gloss. Still couldn't win a bid. It's ridiculous. Keep your $.

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 Gordon! Thank you for your feedback. I am sorry to hear about your opinion of DealDash! We do not hide the fact that we are a pay-to-participate auction site, and our business model is a rather unique twist on auctions where you pay to bid. However, we understand that this may not be for everyone, so we do have a money-back guarantee for all customers on their first purchase of bids so that they can try us out risk-free. We have been in business since 2009 and we continue to persist precisely because we have an absolute dedication to integrity. We're audited yearly, have done several 3rd party audits of the auction bidding itself, and we're an A accredited business with the BBB. If you have any further questions, feel free to reach out to us directly - we hope to hear from you soon!
