Rigged weird auction app/site with supposedly high end merchandise that's next to impossible to get with over paying retail. Don't waste your time.

I don't actually know if deal dash is legit or a scam but here is the real problem with this site: It's the constant bids they offer for auction and the bids they offer in exchange for an expensive item a bidder wins. The power bidders naturally flock to these items, taking turns winning them, and are therefore supplied with a constant stream of bids to the point where the bidding power of anyone new is a no contest so new comers either bow out of an auction when a power bidder comes in, don't enter the auction at all if a power bidder is there or they just lose their bids to those power bidders. I have seen power bidders bid over 5000 times to win 950 bids. Really? And it doesn't even make a dent in their cache of spare bids. If deal dash wanted a true legitimate auction site, then they would not offer these great bid opportunities. They would instead make "all" bidders fork out the money to buy the bids and have an even playing ground. If these power buyers were having to buy their bids like the rest of us, maybe they wouldn't be so wasteful with them. Indeed, deal dash evidently thinks they are making more money on the bid packages, but I doubt it if you consider the people who quit the site because of it. Having said all this, I use deal dash and I often win. Anyone can win. But as most of the reviews reflect you have to be in an auction with no power bidders, the power bidders while waiting for the new bidders to stop when their bids are gone or the price has been run up, make a mistake and the auction accidentally ends early because a regular player stopped bidding leaving another player to win before the power bidders jump in, get lucky enough to find a time when power bidders can't bid on an item because they have already won it and are blocked, be patient enough to wait and wait and wait, buy a crap ton of bids and try to take on the power bidder or just be unusually lucky. I know all these things and I still use deal dash and i often times win but sometimes it feels more like a job or a trauma... not the fun it's supposed to be... this is real money being played with and i actually think casinos are easier :) Imagine the money dealdash might make if "all" bidders were going head to head on an even playing field instead of power bidders constantly swooping in and taking nice items or gift cards for 9 cents or 47 cents or 1.12 etc. In any event, I doubt the people calling deal dash a scan are correct. I have won too many times and seen others win too many times to believe that... it is simply the excess of bids beings offered constantly that dull the site for so many. One last point... some will say then those with more money will win all the time...and I would say, pretty sure they are anyway. At least they wouldn't have all these excess bids to go for things over and over and over or things they don't want just to get the exchange bids instead. I'm telling you it would be way more fun and tons more fair.

Hi Caryn, next time you decide to bid I would recommend using the BidBuddy. Using the BidBuddy will always place your bids during the final second so it's much more efficient then placing single bids. You may want to read some of the helpful articles other experienced customers have written on DealDashReviewed.com. If you have any questions please get in touch. Sincerely, Dave

I was referred to Deal Dash through an offer I received on Listia. I would receive bonus credits in exchange for checking DD out. First, I must say their app was an easy download and extremely easy to navigate. I always read reviews from other customers and then the FAQ section before using any app especially where money is concerned. I was satisfied and went ahead with a purchase of a 300 bid pack on sale for only $. 12/bid. With a general idea of how things worked, I placed my first bid... AND WON! I won a $10 Burger King gift card for a penny! Now, I knew that was just a fluke probably because I happened to begin at a time of day that the site was not busy. However, it was still a big positive. I looked for more likely items and gift cards and over the course of the next couple of days popping in here and there when I had a few moments, proceeded to win two more $10 gift cards and a $25 gift card for a total of 55 cents! I was sadly at the end of my 300 bids. I only say sadly because bidding is a lot of fun. For an initial investment of $36 plus 56 cebts for the auctions I won, I received the generous bonus credits on Listia as well as $55.00 worth of gift cards! My order status didn't change (tracking is only provided for orders over a certain amount) and I began to have doubts. I reached out to DD's help team at around 8 days and received a reply in less than an hour letting me know that my gift cards had shipped on 8/22. The rep who replied to me was courteous and understanding. I received my cards the next day! From start to finish, DD has exceeded all expectation and they have won themselves a big big fan!

I have joined at least 7 different penny auction sites in the last year. They all have their faults but the real sign of a good company is how they handle their customers and the service they provide. I joined DealDash several weeks ago at the urging of some friends. I watched the site and auctions for several days to learn the patterns of some of the bidders and the behavior of the site. I would recommend to all new penny auction participants to take the time to watch auctions carefully before you jump in. I have been successful with most of the sites using this strategy. You also need to set a bid limit and when it's reached back out to play another day. Shortly after joining DealDash I experienced a problem with purchased bids not showing up or disappearing during auctions. I emailed their customer service folks and together we were able to find and fix the problem. Another thing to keep in mind is that DealDash gives you the opportunity to buy the auction item if you don't win. If you exercise this option you get your spent bids back. I try to only bid on items I would purchase anyway. If I lose the auction I can still get what I wanted as well as bids to play another day. Most of the other sites do not offfer this option or will give you a 50% credit on certain items. They also have win limits on most of the large items which gives everyone a fair chance to win something nice. As with all other auctions you will find bidders that game the system. Deal Dash has assured me they are aware of this and working hard to get these individuals off their site. Since my issues in week one it has been a good experience and fun bidding on their site. Of all the sites I have tried Deal Dash has been the most responsive and honest, willing to admit when an issue is on their end and not trying to blame the problem on you or your computer and internet provider. This should be enjoyable and you should have fun. Good luck to all and I highly recommend DealDash.

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!
