I like this sight, I win all the time. I watched it a few hrs. Before trying it out, because only common sense tells you winning without research or learning the practices of the players, Is like jumping into a card game with a bunch of money when you have never played it expecting to win allot your first night. Before I finish this comment i will have won yet another item far below cost. I won a 369$ item last night for ten dollars total. 9 days into this month i have won near 3000 dollars with a 400 dollar investment. Watch the players like myself that win, without spending alot, a few minutes a day for a week or so BEFORE you try, and play against the ones that don't. Start small and let other players see you win and they are more hesitant to play you again on larger items(keep in mind lots of people watch!) can't tell you all my stategies but you learn your own. Good luck!

What a joke I spent 598 for bids to win 170 worth of items. First off their retail price of things are twice what they are worth. Just check the item on amazon before you bid. So buying the damn thing would be cheaper buy time their bidding bots drive up the price. Then to buy it now you have to pay their inflated price and you can get back the bids you bid. So if you pay twice what an item is worth then you get back what you bid. If you use this site im sure like me you will end up regretting it.

That $15 dollar T. V
October 28, 2012

That $15 dollar T. V. set is in NO WAY, SHAPE OR FORM $15... It's going to be around $900.00 by the time you're done! Secondly, this site uses ELECTRONIC SHILL BIDDING (ie BOTS) to hike the bids up to ABOVE RETAIL.

But for some reason, they get away with it. They are OUTRIGHT SCAM ARTISTS, who are completely MISREPRESENTING EVERYTHING about the prices that you pay, the phony "bidding" system and everything else. When you "win" an item for $15 and it really costs you $900.00... well, that is a BIG, FAT LIE, A CHEAT, A SWINDLE and most importantly -- it's a MISREPRESENTATION.

The sad, SAD truth is, most of the bidders are elderly and feeble minded. They think they "know what they are doing" and are basically like over-sized children who cannot be told "NO!" They throw away their life saving on junk they could be buying FOR MUCH LESS, right down the street for retail price.

This company makes it's living off of fleecing people who don't know any better. They exploit people's weakness because they know that if they don't, someone else will. They have no conscious and no soul.

And the funny thing is, they are too short sided to understand the FACT that THEY will be on the RECEIVING END of this "deal" in just a few SHORT years ;) Tick tock... you're running out of time DealDash employees... If you're so stupid that you think you can get away with swindling people out of their life savings and get away with it, well, I have news for you. You're stupid enough to be the next in line...

Pat yourself on the backs for the soulless world that you have worked so hard to create. One that takes advantage of our parents and grandparents when they get old. A world that is going to RIP YOU WITHOUT CARE in just a little while... almost as badly as it RIPS your children and grandchildren.

And you thought you were getting a DEAL? HA! HA! HA! More like a "deal" with the DEVIL. LOL!

Enjoy those overpriced Chinese trinkets now... while you still can.

This is the worst site I've ever been on, I bought a bid package last night, tried to bid on a gift card, it kicked me off 4 times, out of the bid, then it acted as if someone had won the bid. It kept telling me I needed to buy more bids (when I still had 100 left out of my 150). Right now I'm trying to get my money back. HORRIBLE.

I was debited bids for auctions I didn't even bid on. Then there was another auction that said I bid over 50 times and I didn't. By the way they don't give clear details on the process before you purchase bids.
Okay if an item sells for $5 it takes 500 bids to reach this and at 50cents a bid thats $250 they pulled in for a $5 item, pretty sweet wouldn't you say? So I will stick with ebay where an item might sell for a higher amount but I don't throw a quarter away with every click of my mouse.

Hi M L., I'm very sorry to hear your disappointment. Whenever a BidBuddy is booked on an auction it places bids automatically for you. Could it be possible you may have unknowingly booked a BidBuddy on an auction to cause this? Please send an email to [email protected] (attention to Dave) and I'll do my best to help improve your experience and verify what happened. DealDash also provides everyone with a 100% money back guarantee on your first purchase so we can also provide this to you since you are not satisfied. Thank you, looking forward to hearing from you soon.

DealDash is a terrific site! I have been on other penny auctions sites, but DealDash is by far the most fun and profitable. I have won over 100 items at very reasonable prices, They have a lot of specials on this site like free auctions with cheap bids. This makes it a fun way to save money and win items. I will be bidding on DealDash for a long time as it is my favorite site. The Customer Service team is outstanding, anytime I have a question or problem, they get back to me in a timely manner. I had doubts at first coming from other penny auction sites where I didn't win anything, but once I started bidding and winning on DealDash I was hooked. I receive my items that I have won within a week or two so it is a WIN, WIN on this site, check it out!
Sincerely,

What a Rip Off!
October 10, 2012

What a Rip Off!
I am talking about the android tablet I was bidding on. The way the advertising reads it sounds like you get a credit for the bids but you really don't. They add them onto the value of the product and then deduct them. The buy it now price was 189.00 (for this tablet I can bay anywhere for 79.00); I thought ok well 189.00 - 171.00 = 18.00. But no they put these bids back in my account and charge me. 60 each so I can waste more of my time trying to get overpriced items at a "deal". So I paid. 17 wehn I bought the bids and then charged another. 60 IF i wanted to do the Buy It offer.

After watching people who were not in before the 5.00 mysteriously appear (and look like they were there). I complained to the site. Now I am unable to use the remaining bids I have! Coincidence? I think not. Find another site people!... this is not as honest as it claims!

My DealDash Journey
August 28, 2012

I have been an active member of the DealDash family for six years, during this time I have been fortunate to win tens of thousands in the auctions. This has given me the ability to share my good fortune with many others, especially those who serve in our military. I know how hard it is to provide for a family on a military income and by way of DealDash I have been able to ease the burden to many service members. Thanks DealDash for giving me a way to pay it forward.

My favorite and longlasting penny auction site. If you are able to play during off hours you have an excellent chance for a good deal with always free shipping. Only problem is too many bidders are willing to prove they have more money and bid way beyond the cost of the item just to win. Its supposed to be about getting it cheap not spending the most money - so the auctions are long and seem endless.

This used to be a great site until the inconsistent pricing of bids started. Now it seems like it takes 3 to 5 times the amount of bids to have a chance to win an auction. Another thing I do not like is the time between bids. The timer starts at 30 seconds until the price hits $2 then goes to 20 seconds and does not drop to 10 seconds until the auction reaches $10. Very slow! Good customer service.

I have nothing but praise for DEALDASH.
I have had a couple of questions I wrote to support about. They answer very quickly and I always found the answers honest and helpful. With the new innovation of after $5.00 no new bidders can jump in.
IHIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS SITE!

I started dealdash about a year ago and although I don't spend a whole lot of time or money on this site I have still won about 17 auctions now (not 1 over a dollar =)). First I did my homework, research and went through the tips of winning penny auctions. I then started to compared/visisted all the penny auctions sites I could come across and finally I decided to go with deal dash because of the amount of auctions they had as well as the buy it back option. I signed up and bought no bids for about 2-3 weeks and I studied the site for a while, i got to know a few of the other members names and watched how they bid against other members. I finally bought a small bid pack and won 4 auctions in my first week! I will admit that has been my best week so far so I wouldn't be expecting that kind of result with few bids and the items I got were small- 2 $10 gift cards and 2 cds. The biggest auction I have won has been a 150 bid pack for 23 cents and $100 mariott card with 100 bids for 38 cents. Since last year it seems that the competition has stepped up a lot but so far I have won 8 auctions for 1 penny. I also bought another bid pack and went for a kindle fire which i lost but I bought it and got all my bids back. The customer service is excellent. I asked them 3 questions before I ever even purchased a bid pack and the longest wait for a reply I have had so far has been about 24 hours. They were completely honest and extremely helpful, I would have to say that my favorite part of this site is the customer service. I will admit you definately lose and you won't win everytime but if you really want to win you should check out any tips on winning and don't expect to win everytime. I would recommend this site to anyone.
