Kudos to DealDash on a brilliant and addictive product. As a fellow software dev I can appreciate that.
While *technically* not a scam, don't bother unless you have unlimited money and time to game the system because that's what happens.
Much like the ticket brokers, you will find yourself battling with players with unlimited resources who probably end up just relisting on the same DealDash site or eBay at best.
I just got suckered into trying it again after staying away for 2+ years and it's gotten even worse. You will see the same scoopers showing up in EVERY auction you get into and you just can't compete with their buying power.
Sure. Some great stuff goes for cheap. But unless it's something total crap, you almost certainly will not win.
Even if you avoid getting suckered into an auction early and refer to the minimum sell price from past history, you still usually get clipped at a price lower than what previously was the lowest sell price which in itself is suspect.
Bottom line. You have plenty of money and time fine. Drop at least 1000 bids on the item you want at 75% of the most recent lowest purchase price, and cross your fingers and probably lose anyways. But the manufactured suspense can be enjoyable if you have the time.
