How long do most items take to reach final bid? Seems like it could go on virtually forever.

Thanks for your question Colleen. What makes DealDash exciting is that the auctions may end after any of the bids placed!

As soon as no bids are placed before the timer hits zero, the auction ends and the highest bidder wins an incredible bargain on the auction item. Shipping on DealDash is always free, and the auction winner will only have to pay for the final auction price to claim the win.

DealDash has no control of the duration of the auctions, and it is solely up to the bidders and their placed bids to determine when an auction ends. That’s what makes it so exciting – there are no reserve prices regardless of the value of the item, and any bid can truly be the last one. We have seen $3,000 TVs or $2,200 Macbooks get sold for just a few bids, and many other similar deals are made on DealDash every day.

Sometimes auctions can last for longer durations, and this is why we have a tool called the BidBuddy which you can utilize to bid on the auctions even when you're not on your computer. It will automatically place Bids for you within the last seconds of the auction. In fact, most auctions on DealDash are won with the BidBuddy.

I hope this answered your question. Have fun bidding in the auctions!

I'm sorry, but even WITH BidBuddy, an auction can last for hours. That means you burn up a whole bunch of bids and you still may not win. The duration of these auctions are unfair. I'm having to spend at least 600 to 1000 bids on average just to win ONE item.
