I find penny auctions fun and winning is the best. Deal Dash is NOT like other penny auctions. Beware-there are some scams out there. In this case, it is always a win-win because if you do not win the item, you can buy it and get ALL your bids back. No other site is like that.
The most important advice is learn to play BEFORE you bid.
The customer service is great and I have won lots of items for less than retail; some even for a penny.
DealDash is trustworthy and honest.

Over the last few days I have spent more on bids, emptying my checking account and maxing a credit card. I have read your advice to bidders on how to win auctions and have employed those as well as some of my own. I have blatantly (meaning very obviously) been screwed out of wins a couple of times and complained both times and allowed you to appease me with the offer of 200 bids. I have read some of the blogs and frankly find them hard to believe. I look at the people I'm bidding against and see most of them have 0 wins. I gave a bid back for a list of those at their limits and found not even one name of a person I was bidding against in any of the three auctions i was contemplating. NOT ONE other than my own! And exactly what good is that anyways? Any one person could buy more bids at the click of a button and enrich your coffers all in pursuit of that pie in the sky nothing. I used my bid buddy, i went free hand, i watched trends, I counted bidders involved, I researched past prices paid. I have happily paid for what I did win. 2 $10 gift cards and a couple of small bid packets. I am not willing to be out hundreds of dollars with nothing to show for it and yet that is where I find myself. This is a scam. This should be against the law. Oh and that guy bragging and blogging about the piles of electronics sitting around his house because he's so good at this which he kindly donated to charity... how is it he even got to bid on the same thing more than once when I see blocked bidder lists posted on many high end items? Oh and your customer service is great... keep your mouth shut great! You ended up advising me I should not be bidding on high end items since I am new, yet you limit low end items and I get a pop up that says I can only bid on items worth $200 or more And when I don't win you want me to buy it now at an inflated price and give me my bids back. I have never been so embarrassed to wear the giant "L"oser mark on my forehead! I only hope any who read this will BEWARE! From a very disillusioned DealDash Sucker!

I decided to check it out tonight - was scammed BIG TIME. When you sign up, your credit card number is required and i thought it was just for security reasons, like ebay - i did NOT agree with buying anything and 5 minutes later, i had 36 bucks taken out of my account just for SIGNING UP. Thankfully I used a Paypal cc, so all I am doing is going to Paypal, explaining it and since my "purchase" was not authorized, I will get my money back. BEWARE. NOTHING sells for 1 dollar like they advertise - and apparently, even though you pay 36 bucks to JOIN, you are not allowed on any auction either - only some lame ones without the "no new bidders" sign. Stick to Ebay - these people are not honest!

I have been on DD since June. I am confused by some of the negative comments I have found here about DD. I have never had a problem with a shipment and I have won several things from them. I think their customer service is overall very good. My only gripe is that a bid COSTS between 15 and 60 cents each but is only worth ONE CENT when you go to bid. That is some steep depreciation! However knowing that, I still go back and bid. If you keep your wits about you and don't overbid, you can still make out ok.

DealDash is a penny auction site that I have found to be the best on the Internet. Great customer service, great variety of auction items and a good network of members. The site is easy to use and fast to learn. They have great privacy options in place, which I very much like for my safety on the Internet that is very important to me and most others. I suggest that you find your way to DealDash.com and start getting some great deals at great prices.

In the past you were able to find "deals", now as others have said I have used the buy it now option for gift cards as they are truly the value they say they are. I don't like the fact that the same bidders win over and over again! It would be nice if dealdashl limited lower item wins per month and still kept their weekly limit. It also seems like now there are more bid packs for auction and it would be nice if the Buy it now price reflected the current sale price on bids instead of the. 60 "retail" price. Most people just lose their bids on those, because in the end it's cheaper to spend the money on sale bids. Wish a few things could change to make it better for all gamblers!

I have been on DealDash since September, 2012. I have won over 300 auctions. It's a fun site to use to win items and gift cards. You have to know that you win some and you lose some, however, if you do not win the item that you were bidding on you able to purchase it and you receive your bids back to bid again on something else. Their customer service was kind of shabby about a year a ago but has extremely improved. I feel very confident that I will receive every item I have won or bought. Only one time in over a year I did not receive an item and after contacting them I received it. You buy your bids and it's best to wait until they have a promotion to buy the bids at a cheaper price. It's addictive, but fun at the same time.

I sincerely appreciate the customer service at DealDash; they do their best to keep it fair and honest. Do I have complaints? You bet! Since they started advertising there has been a huge influx of new players who are clueless and want to stay that way. These people do make a lot of the auctions less than pleasant with their bidstomping and bidding WAY over the value of the product. I've told a couple of customer service people that this site is in danger of imploding from such rapid growth.
The products themselves that I have gotten have seemed to be good quality, with the exception of a flatware set that was flimsy and I returned it to the vendor.
I've occasionally won but more often bought a ton of gift cards, and out of all of them only one has gotten lost in transit, and they're going to replace it.
It's very frustrating to bid on this site now, compared to when I joined 5 months ago; too many new people are making it very difficult for a lot of us to get a good deal and it seems the same people win the big things for next to nothing time after time. I don't lay that at the feet of Deal Dash, though. I believe there is a group who seem to take turns running other people off an item, and then dropping out so one of them wins. NOT NICE, but nobody is that lucky!
The products are good, customer service is fabulous----now, if only the customers would rise to the same level, DealDash would be fantastic. The customers are why I only rated them 4 stars instead of 5.
WTG DealDash!
