I called in for a refund due to my error,
Kim was very understanding to my concerns and kept me calm when I thought I was doomed she assured me she could fix my issue and that she did all while being very at tentative and kind throughout the entire time till she completed the correction I had made, Kim is an asset to your company I wish there were more CSR, s in the world that would mimic her knowledge of conducting a pleasant call all in the name of resolution which is all the customer wants 10 thumbs up to Kim thank you for all your understanding.

My experience was:
December 20, 2013

My experience was:
* i joined and spent $21 on 60 bids
* i amazingly "won" 4 auctions for $10 gift cards (Burger King, Dunkin Donuts etc) for less than 10 cents
* i "won" an auction for 60 bids for $5.40
* i started looking for deals on stuff I wanted, figuring "what the heck, if I don't win, i'll pay full price". I identified a cordless phone set from Panasonic
* I spent all 90 of my bids on that item, and did not win it

So: to summarize:
* I spent $21 + $5 = $26
* i "won" $ 40 worth of gift cards
* I realized it was a worthless waste of time and money and stopped before giving them another penny.

NOTE 1 -- their "if their full price" were legit, I would use this site still. But you can *ALWAYS* find the same exact product on Amazon for 10-20% less. Their price is what I would call FULL RETAIL, which noone ever pays. So yeah, you can bid until you are blue in the face, and then pay FULL PRICE and get all of those bids back --- but you are paying WELL OVER FAIR MARKET PRICE

NOTE 2 - an auction for something worth $100 that sells even for $20 (great deal) takes 4 hours + to finish. (bids come in at, generally, 9 second intervals once the auction "settles in"). I don't know about you, but my time is move valuable that that.

Hi Sandro, why the negative rating? The "full price" comes directly from our partners like Best Buy meaning we price match them and many times this price is the lowest you can find anywhere. As for your second note, yes it can take some time for the auction to end so if you have the patience you can get some really good deals. Please let us know what we can do to improve your experience. Thank you.

ALL penny auctions are scam. I spend $80 on bidding. And got nothing. This was cruse vacation to Bermudas. They do not send You anything. When I call. You must go on sum websides to claim prize. No ticket no voucher YOU WON ZERO. I see now ads on TV. Showing actors who telling everybody like they won computer for $10. Mixer worth $350 for $10. This is all lie. Big lie. And will take You all day to bid item. You must stay home and do not work. Im suprise nobody shut down this auctions. Try to bid. A penny every time You bid will take You forever. And nobody ever won something worth $300 for $10. Why because people bid until item get to original price. Better go to the store. Have bad experience. STAY AWAY. SCAM.

I am not very patient with penny auction sites but this and Happy BidDay are pretty good and this one gives you bid prices on sale as well as free shipping. I just don't win much here except gift cards.

Thanks for the review. The variety of items is pretty BIG! During Thanksgiving we sold frozen Turkeys! Shoppers can also choose to buy Tide laundry detergent or even an outdoor fireplace!

I give them high marks based on good customer service, ease of use and the buy now feature. I have won a few small auctions. On the down side, I don't like the Free auctions, that just runs up the bids and also don't think that they don't use Bots. I have seen auctions where bidders have place large numbers of bids that would exceed the value of the product 3 and 4 times. The auction I am watching now, the same bidder has been bidding every other bid for the last 8 hours, the auto bidder does not support this and no person is capable of placing a bid every 12 to 15 seconds for 8 hours… they should check their programming. Loll

Than you Thomas for the feedback. The only bot is the autobidder aka BidBuddy which places your bid for you during the last second of the auction. This is highly recommended to use and the majority of auctions sold are with the help of the BidBuddy.

Misread information about a gift card and I thought it was a promotional item and I threw it away. I was reimbursed for an equal value and was very happy with the results.

I have been with DealDash for over a year. I enjoy it very much but lately I find that it is hard to win anything. I have however in the past got some great deals on gift cards, appliances etc. i admit that sometimes i get caught up in a certain item & overbid on it. Be careful, DealDash can be as addictive as sitting at a slot machine.

THIS IS A SCAM!
December 14, 2013

THIS IS A SCAM! You SUCKER people into paying for bids, and you allow first time users to win 3 small items so that they get excited to keep on playing. Little do they know, that they'll have a SMALL chance into winning anything else, and before you know it, you've spent hundreds of dollars on nothing! What's worse is that you have your own employees playing to HIKE up the bids, as I've seen for myself, they are not shown on the bid screen after they place a bid. Just shows them briefly after they've placed a bid! What really makes me ANGRY is that I actually bid almost ALL of the what the asking price was on an item, and still LOST. Who would want to pay MORE than what the item is asking for? I know who. Your employees! That's what I call a SCAM and you're make MILLIONS off of people you decide to jump in as an "invisible" player! Don't think you're fooling me, because you're not! I know you'll tell me to buy my bids back for the item I bid on, but what's the point... I'm here to WIN not keep buying and spending money on items that I could use, but don't have an immediate need for! I'm done with this, and I hope I've warned enough people to STAY AWAY!

As a newbie, even with reading rules, you get excited and lost in it. It was such a great relief to have a live chat available to answer questions without having to dial or wait for an email response. I have several items won now and am waiting for there arrivals. I can't wait and look forward to each day looking and bidding now. Thank you DealDash!

I came across this website by accident one year ago while traveling to Japan, and I love it! I won my first auction very quickly and thought to myself, that this couldn't be real, but with Dealdash refund policy (for new bidders) if you aren't delighted you can get a refund (read their 90 day policy), I figured that I didn't have anything to lose, and continued to play. I love the free shipping and the great customer service too!

Hi,
December 12, 2013

Hi,
I have been a bidder now for over a year! In order to be successful, you need to bid on only the auctions you really want and willing to buy if you don't win. You will then not lose your bids and reuse them. I also love the extra bids you earn with the timer. There is lots of competition, but I have won some great deals that keep me coming back. I am not a big gambler and not willing to lose money, Deal Dash is the way to go, have fun, win some and lose some... Free Shipping, Excellent customer service too!

Dealdash is a great penny auction! There are many great items up for bid. They offer discounts on the cost of bids and sometimes they offer the items for half-price or for free. Bidders need to watch how they bid in order to make the most of their bids.
