Question:

How much does it cost to join? and how does it work?

Answer:

Hi Robert. We operate on the "pay to participate/bid model" so it's required that you purchase bids in advance. This loads up your account balance. You can check out our promotional bid pack prices here: https://www.dealdash.com/buybids Each bid you place takes away one of your bids from your balance and increases the price of the auction by 1 penny, then resetting the clock to 10 seconds. It's in this small window that someone else must decide if they will place a bid to outbid you. If no new bids are placed and you are the final bidder in the auction, you win the auction at the final sales price. If you do not win the auction, you will see the Buy It Now button. By using the Buy it now option, you will get the item for retail price and all the bids you used in that auction will be returned to your bid balance. Users who take advantage of this option usually have a better experience, since they get the item they initially wanted as well as retain all their bids. Please let us know if you have any other questions and be sure to read more about us here: http://www.dealdash.com/how-does-it-work

Question:

How do you arrive at the buy it now price? i was bidding on a lamp and you had it listed at buy it now for $235 and get my bids back. i saw the same lamp online for $29.95. same held true for aava flatware, saw it online $200.00 cheaper and the cheaper site was more expensive than others. i don't get it.

Answer:

Hi Phyllis. We list all items at the same price you will find on the brand's official website and Amazon listings. If you see an item listed cheaper, it may be a second hand one sold by an individual. If the item is listed as new, please report it to us, since we don't allow re-selling of items won on DealDash. Hope this helps. Please let me know if there anything else I can do, I´ll be happy to help.

Question:

Trying deal dash and i am seeing that some $25 gift cards final price is showing as more than the gift card value??? i don't understand? why bid more than what the item is worth? also - if i ask the auto bidder to bid for me, i can only control the number of bids, but not the price of the item? in other words, if the price goes up past what i am comfortable paying, with the number of bids i have told the auto bidder to use, i am stuck paying more than what the item is worth? confused

Answer:

Hi Terry. Thanks for writing today. I'll be happy to answer your questions. Firstly, on occasion we run special deals for "free" auction wins. During these auctions, the bidding proceeds as usual but the final auction winner will not be required to pay the final sales price. Instead the winner receives the product free of charge and only pays a $0.01 processing fee. That's why you may see gift cards going for more than what they're worth, since the winner only pays a penny! Secondly, you're right. You can choose a number of bids to book on the BidBuddy. Unfortunately, since DealDash has no control on the amount of bidders in an auction, you can't control the price those bids get you to. Hope this helps. If you need anything else, please don't hesitate to contact me! Adrian Community Manager
