In the past you were able to find "deals", now as others have said I have used the buy it now option for gift cards as they are truly the value they say they are. I don't like the fact that the same bidders win over and over again! It would be nice if dealdashl limited lower item wins per month and still kept their weekly limit. It also seems like now there are more bid packs for auction and it would be nice if the Buy it now price reflected the current sale price on bids instead of the. 60 "retail" price. Most people just lose their bids on those, because in the end it's cheaper to spend the money on sale bids. Wish a few things could change to make it better for all gamblers!

I have been on DealDash since September, 2012. I have won over 300 auctions. It's a fun site to use to win items and gift cards. You have to know that you win some and you lose some, however, if you do not win the item that you were bidding on you able to purchase it and you receive your bids back to bid again on something else. Their customer service was kind of shabby about a year a ago but has extremely improved. I feel very confident that I will receive every item I have won or bought. Only one time in over a year I did not receive an item and after contacting them I received it. You buy your bids and it's best to wait until they have a promotion to buy the bids at a cheaper price. It's addictive, but fun at the same time.

I sincerely appreciate the customer service at DealDash; they do their best to keep it fair and honest. Do I have complaints? You bet! Since they started advertising there has been a huge influx of new players who are clueless and want to stay that way. These people do make a lot of the auctions less than pleasant with their bidstomping and bidding WAY over the value of the product. I've told a couple of customer service people that this site is in danger of imploding from such rapid growth.
The products themselves that I have gotten have seemed to be good quality, with the exception of a flatware set that was flimsy and I returned it to the vendor.
I've occasionally won but more often bought a ton of gift cards, and out of all of them only one has gotten lost in transit, and they're going to replace it.
It's very frustrating to bid on this site now, compared to when I joined 5 months ago; too many new people are making it very difficult for a lot of us to get a good deal and it seems the same people win the big things for next to nothing time after time. I don't lay that at the feet of Deal Dash, though. I believe there is a group who seem to take turns running other people off an item, and then dropping out so one of them wins. NOT NICE, but nobody is that lucky!
The products are good, customer service is fabulous----now, if only the customers would rise to the same level, DealDash would be fantastic. The customers are why I only rated them 4 stars instead of 5.
WTG DealDash!

Generally speaking this is a fun site. Do you win more than any other penny auction site? No. But lately I have participated in a couple of auctions where bids were beeing placed by players that obviously had third party software. As soon as a player placed a bid these "bidders" name came up at EXACTLY the same time and as the last bidder. It did not matter what time was left on a clock. For example if a bidder bid at 42:02 the "bidder" who placed a bid at 42:01 came up as the last bidder.

As a first time user, I had no luck bidding. The completed auctions show people winning for very few dollars... however, when I have bid on some of the same items the bid got way out of range and I had to drop out, you did give me back my first bid pak... but I've had no luck in winning anything at a low price. Even the real cheap items have gone over retail inmany cases. This makes no sense at all. Why would someone pay more that the item is worth just to win a bid?
I guess if I had won a bid I would feel differently. Ot sure if im goilg to continue after I use up my remaining bids.

I use DD often and have won several things or gotten them for "free". You have to use common sense when bidding on "free" items. If there is a problem with shipping or technical error just write to support group and they help you out very nicely. Iv always been pleased with the outcome of anything Ihave had a problem with. Its sad when some bidders play games with you but just leave for a while and most times they just disappear and you can go back to bidding again. Play nice and let the clock run down so players get their free bids. Things can go wrong as we are on a computer remember. Id advise anyone to try DD. Watch the auctions before you play to understand the bidding and use Bidbuddy. Have fun now with DD!

I have nothing negative to say about DealDash. My experience, so far, has been great fun and I have won so much more than I ever expected! I have not won every auction that I bid in, and I don't expect to. I read everything on their site before I started bidding. Any question I had was answered either by the site or a Customer Service Rep. They replied in an unbelievably quick timeframe and were happy to help. If you bid on only items you would buy anyway then you cannot be harmed. All your bids are returned to you if you lose the auction and then use the BIN feature. I, too, have compared the prices they list with store prices and have not found any discrepancies so far. Studying the site first is key. Read the tips! Spend only what you can afford! Do not expect to win every auction! I am completely satisfied with DealDash and having a great time!

I purchased the starter pack of bids for $32 giving you 200 bids. My wife and I decided to bid on one item. We figured this particular item sold for an average of
$28 so we were "in it to win it". So we thought. We started bidding from the beginning. I noticed that at the $5 dollar mark, the site would close this item to new bidders. "No jumpers" I think they call it. It was pretty exciting for the first 150 bids. Thought we had a chance so my wife wanted to purchase another 200 bids to assure we would win this item, so we did. As this second 200 bids started to diminish using the bid buddy system I started to notice bids from bidders I had not seen bidding on this item. Huh, that's weird. I thought this site was not allowing new bidders after the $5 mark. This was extremely frustrating when it came down to myself and just one other bidder for several bids, and we thought if we could just out bid this one bidder the item would be ours. So, we purchased a third pack of 200 bids. After about 50 bids into the third pack, other bidders were jumping in. These "new" bidders of course played their part in absolving all of my remaining bids. This felt deliberate! I do admit being excited and having some fun for the first little while. This was my first time doing anything like this. However, I did feel like I was being scammed as this auction went on. I would definitely try it again if I can get a "FULL" refund for the 3 packs that we purchased. Thank you.

Wrong item shipped. 5 days no contact by phone or email. When I called I was told "This sometimes happens and it'll be a few more days until I get contacted. Never mind how much longer until I get my item. Oh yeah! And a 12 foot box of aluminum tubes that was supposed to be a mountain bike blocking the entryway to my home. My favorite from Louisa the customer rep when I told her I was furious with their handling of this, "Sorry you feel that way." Somebody explain to customer service that saying, "Sorry you feel that way." is NOT an apology. So I guess I will just sit and stare at this monstrous box in my hallway while I wait for their "Shipping Team" to come back to work. Serious statement. Their shipping team doesn't work everyday. They have an alternating schedule so the chance of getting immediate help for a shipping issue depends on their team being on staff THAT day. Sounds like a great business model.

IT CONTINUES!
So here I am STILL waiting for the bicycle I won. Now they tell me they can't give it to me. The best part is that they sent me a box of aluminum tubes from Amazon that was supposed to be my bike. I called. I emailed. I took a picture!. Now the head of customer support has apologized and said they cannot resend the bike because the same mistake would happen again! Excuse me? What? This is the second time they have pulled this Bait and Switch maneuver. They promise the item and then offer you more bids or a gift card as a replacement. The gift card is only good if I can find the exact item and the exact price or lower. What are the chances and why has that become my JOB to go out on my own and fix their lie?

I love Deal Dash.! If you like auctions you must try deal dash! It is easy to use and their products are all top quality. My advice. Read how it works, Set a budget on how much you are willing to spend and jump in and have some fun. I have gotten some great items from Deal Dash, unlike some other auction sites I have tried in past.don't be discouraged if you lose in an auction, you can buy the item and receive all the bids you used. Everyone should try it at least once
