1. Have 'bidding starting soon' on a separate window.Sat and watched for quite a while to get familiar.. not once did I see anybody win?! The prizes were to benefit the app, DealDash, so you're buying bids, okay?! and a penny is added at the very last half second of each one I watched, how coincidental is that?!?! I guess you got to be quick behind-the-scenes to up the bid at the very last second.. Tophatter is the way to go, I have won many, many, many times and they are amazing, REAL, awesome items!! See ya there! Un-installing this joke!While in the last couple of days I've won a $50 bed bath & beyond gift card and a $10 walmart card, I'm still quite disappointed.
2. It requires patience.I used to love Deal Dash.. They allowed you to earn free bids to help supplement your bid pack purchases,, but they stopped that and the vast majority of items for auctions these days are bid packs... Hard to win anything since they lowered the number of items for sale at any given time, the prices have gone up.
3. But if you want something more significant, you need lots of time waiting for a possible slight window of opportunity or lots of bids (either buy them for $0.12-$0.15 or try to win bid packs in a bidding war).
4. even though they may be misleading with the prices, the app is a fun app and you can win items for cheap if you allow yourself time to accumulate and save up the bids.
5. I still try once in a while, but haven't been able to win anything in months.Downloaded the app, signed up, bought a bid pack and then watched other people bidding on auctions without being able to bid myself.
6. Unless you want to go through the Buy It Now option: buying the item instead at a highly inflated price and getting back your bids.
7. Not a great selection of items either.stressful. I see auctions for small items go for $2 or less constantly.
8. Items listed often have a valuation above what you can get the item for elsewhere.
9. You can have a bidder but 1,000 bids on an item.
10. Plus, the item up for bids, you can't enlarge the item.
11. Every time i finally have a lot of bids, I lose them all.
