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 had a problem and CSA assisted me promptly. I am very impressed with immediate response and resolving the situation. DealDash is an online company that can be trusted.

I particularly like how the site continually crashes and you and everyone else that has been bidding is just outta luck. Seems kind of like a scam to me.

I've been enjoying DealDash for about a month now and have won several auctions. I have been able to get some great items at far below their retail values.

I just wanted to close my account. Not only did they complete my request, but they also issued me a full refund. This action was unexpected and truly appreciated.

Down from 5 Star... seems like auction prices are rising. I've had to BIN more than ever before and am using way too many bids. Also seems like there are fewer high priced items available

In general, the Support Team at Deal Dash has been exceptional. They ALWAYS respond to technical issues, and they have credited my account with bids each and every time something has come up. But, overall Service is JUST as exceptional. I recently won a grill on a Monday evening. UPS had it at my door at 5:30 PM 2 DAYS LATER, on Wednesday! THAT was a major accomplishment in Order Fulfillment for Deal Dash AND superb service by UPS (who had just been berated in the Media for failure to deliver all Christmas packages during one of the most vicious freezes to 1/3 of our country!). 'Free Shipping' in Deal Dash Land is more than just 'free' - it is EXCEPTIONAL Service as well! Keep up the GREAT work, Deal Dash!

They say it's fair but I don't believe that it is fair they make you by all these beds and no matter how many did you put down I feel like I still can can't win anything because everybody has more hits than me I've already put $60 into this website but I've got $30 in gift cards two of which I won't even be using so I feel like I've wasted my money and I don't think I'm going to go back to it.

I don't know whether it's a deal or a scam! This is my opinion on my 4 day experience with Deal Dash. If you don't like losing almost all of your first purchase ($36 for 300 bids), don't get involved, This isn't a lot of money but as one other reviewer said, after winning the first two $10 Walmart cards, I was unsuccessful in getting any other wins. I read all the helps, strategies, etc but still lost. The bid buddy is successful in placing your bids at the last minute but there are usually several other people that have bid buddies so it's a chance not a sure thing. I feel it's pretty near impossible to win unless you're willing to spend big bucks on buying bids and a LOT of time. You get a discount on the first 300 bids but that's it that I know of. It's my opinion that you are allowed to win the first couple $10 gift cards to get you hooked as another bidder said. This could be a blast if you had better chances to win. If you have the money to keep buying bids with a slight chance of winning, go for it, it's fun. I guess I'm not a gambler with the funds to continue.

I would have to say its too long and not realistic theres so many rounds and plus theres levels and they are too long if you dont bid the time takes forever its stops everytime someone makes a bid the time stops until you make the bid again i would shorten it out on everything and lower the price for bidding money i think the bids should be free and what ever the price thats what the person pays for who won on that itemi would also say prices are way to high and the bidding is way to long it gets long each level it qll needs to be shortend out if you do that way you may end up with more customers

It was a little tricky at first, but once you learn how to use the bid buddy you can really start winning bids. I won my first 4 prizes in under 10 minutes and with less than 10 bids.

Hi Austin! You're absolutely right about the BidBuddy. It's a pretty valuable tool that most experienced bidders take advantage of, and learning more about the BidBuddy and the auctions in general really makes a difference.

The fake deals you see on TV have been set up in the middle of the night for wins by employee's. I've tried to make a purchase.

Tip for consumers:
There are winning bids however the cost was almost retail.

Products used:
None, I was unable to purchase anything as had I tried the cost was more than retail.

Deal Dash is a very honest and fair site. The deals on bids sales, the free bids timer, the Full and Half Off sales are awesome in addition to the 2x & 3x timer sales are great. I have nothing but great things to say about Deal Dash. They ROCK!

They let u win a couple prizes to reel you in then it's almost impossible to get anything after. Save your money or go to the casino where the odds are way better!

Hi Dan. Sorry to hear that you have not been able to win more auctions on the site. I believe you are referring to our beginner auctions, which are certainly easier to win. We do this just to allow our new users to get the hang of the site.

Even though we are constantly working on making auctions easier to win for our customers, I am sorry you've found they are too hard to win. If you want some advice on how to win the auctions, you should check out the “Tactics & Tips” section of our website (http://www.dealdash.com/tactics-and-tips), as well as our official blog (http://dealdashblog.com/). They both contain great information to help teach new users how to take advantage of our bargains

That being said, I'd like to take a look at your account and see if I can give you some more specific advice. Unfortunately, I cannot find an account with the user name "Smokethedank".

Could you please share your DealDash user name or email address you used to sign up?

Thanks and I look forward to hearing from you.

It has gotten very hard to win. Not much variety to bid on and even waiting to bid late, there is always someone that will wait longer. I have just about quit bidding.

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!
