Oh I am so disappointed in Dealdash. There was a time I played on this site everyday, I would tell my friends and family about this and post daily. They made lots of changes in the products that they offer making it almost impossible to "Buy it now" in the event of a major loss. The items that are offered are very slim and the kids products are not offered much at all. 3 years ago I did all my Christmas shopping through this site and this past year all that was won was a flash light, some head phones and a set of way over priced knifes. What a huge disappointment this site has become. I do hop on every now and again to see if something catches my eye but never see anything that makes me even want to try to win. Not to mention because of the fewer auctions the winning prices are way high! Good luck to those who are still playing on this site, I just feel as if Dealdash has let all their fans down in a huge way.

About five years ago I tried a different penny auction site and after reading all the information I decided to give it a try. Well it just was NOT a good experience so as far as I was concerned I was done with penny auction sites taking my money with nothing in return; not even fun. But then after seeing an ad on TV for dealdash.com my husband and I decided that I would just check it out but we weren't really expecting anything good.

First I read everything available on the site including information about the BIN (Buy It Now) option and always no charge for shipping. Then I watched the bidders for a couple of days before I felt comfortable enough to actually buy some bids plus there was an item I had planned to purchase for retail from another online site coming up for bid so I figured maybe I could win it for a lower price than I was planning on paying.

Well since that first bidding experience in July 2013 every time we've wanted to purchase an item the first place we've checked is dealdash.com. If the item was available we've either won the item or used the BIN option. Oh yes and when we lose an auction and use the BIN option we receive all the bids we used on the lost auction back into our account. So how great is that! All those bids are ready to be used on the next item we hopefully want to WIN but if not we will very joyfully BIN.

And last but not the least good thing about our experience with dealdash.com is the staff that we have experienced have been very responsive and willing to make the situation right.

Robobidders, team bidders, whatever you want to call them, I don't believe in this site.
I've been refunded my original 200 bid purchase, which I dumped back into Dealdash, I figured, I paid for them, I'm not getting the cash back, so why not?

It's clear to me that this is a money-making website.
I have no problem with companies making money.
Its what makes the world go round.

Where I have a problem is in one week (just a few hrs a couple of days), I have the scam figured out.

Same person, signs up twice, different names/users.
Buys two sets of bids, bid on the same item, works best with what they call a Bid Pack. Set all bids on both users to use the "Bid Buddy" that bids automatically.
Walk away.

Some time in the future, if you did it right, one or the other of your "bidder accounts" will win.
Unless, your item was targeted by another team bidder.
Then you're screwed.

Which leads me to theory 2:
DealDash robobidders on the more expensive items.

Why else would DealDash actually have iPadAir tablets for sale just weeks after
They are put on sale for prices under $50?
How could they?
Apple goes after places like Walmart for selling their stuff for $5 under Apple's MSRP. A $500 iPadAir for $24?!?!? Apple would have lawyers there so fast...

The owners of DealDash better watch out.
Tony Soprano's goons will be coming along soon looking for their "cut of the action".
That's how blatant this whole thing is, once you figure out how much cash is involved and how little you "win".

I don't believe the rules-following user can win without cheating somehow.

I love this site! As far as Penny auctions go this one is trust worthy and fair. The lock the bidding at 5 dollars so no new bidders can jump in and run up the bidding. My favorite part of the game is that if you lose you can buy the product at regular price and get all your bids back. I use this option all the time seeing as I don't bid on anything that I wouldn't buy. They have great items for auction too from Ipads to 10 dollar gift cards.

Dash Deals Employee Chris was very polite and corrected the problem with in 5 minutes. He is an asset to the company and if his tone would have been any different I would not consider doing business with Dash Deals ever! I was very impressed with the professionalism I received. Can't wait to try Dash Deals again, my first deal was a free one I had heard about from Good Morning America... this web site is great fun and I recommend it. Thank you, Chris... Regards Mrs. Jones

I have spent thousands of dollars on bids and I came to my senses... Wouldn't you think that if you didn't win that you would get your bids back and the person who won, would be responsible for their bids plus the winning price of the item? I know about the "Buy It Now" and the rules, but I asked customer service about it and they basically cut-pasted their answer to me about Buy It Now... I won a couple of lower priced gift cards when I FIRST started bidding. Yay me! When I took a break from Dealdash for a few months and decided to try to win some things with the extra bids I had... I seem to have immediately won two thumb drives, lower end Walmart and Amazon gift cards. Okay, bought some more bids, and won absolutely nothing! I wish I could get my money back to pay for my medical bills that have just now accumulated. I feel cheated that I spent so much money on this. Seems to be rigged somehow so you win and when you return, you after being away, you win small items and not the big ones. Not too thrilled.:-/ But I will admit that customer service was nice when they had a computer glitch pushing me out of a pro Canon camera I had been bidding on and gave me my bids back, but took out of the auction. Grrrrr... I really want my lost bids money back!
