Generally speaking this is a fun site. Do you win more than any other penny auction site? No. But lately I have participated in a couple of auctions where bids were beeing placed by players that obviously had third party software. As soon as a player placed a bid these "bidders" name came up at EXACTLY the same time and as the last bidder. It did not matter what time was left on a clock. For example if a bidder bid at 42:02 the "bidder" who placed a bid at 42:01 came up as the last bidder.

As a first time user, I had no luck bidding. The completed auctions show people winning for very few dollars... however, when I have bid on some of the same items the bid got way out of range and I had to drop out, you did give me back my first bid pak... but I've had no luck in winning anything at a low price. Even the real cheap items have gone over retail inmany cases. This makes no sense at all. Why would someone pay more that the item is worth just to win a bid?
I guess if I had won a bid I would feel differently. Ot sure if im goilg to continue after I use up my remaining bids.

I use DD often and have won several things or gotten them for "free". You have to use common sense when bidding on "free" items. If there is a problem with shipping or technical error just write to support group and they help you out very nicely. Iv always been pleased with the outcome of anything Ihave had a problem with. Its sad when some bidders play games with you but just leave for a while and most times they just disappear and you can go back to bidding again. Play nice and let the clock run down so players get their free bids. Things can go wrong as we are on a computer remember. Id advise anyone to try DD. Watch the auctions before you play to understand the bidding and use Bidbuddy. Have fun now with DD!

I have nothing negative to say about DealDash. My experience, so far, has been great fun and I have won so much more than I ever expected! I have not won every auction that I bid in, and I don't expect to. I read everything on their site before I started bidding. Any question I had was answered either by the site or a Customer Service Rep. They replied in an unbelievably quick timeframe and were happy to help. If you bid on only items you would buy anyway then you cannot be harmed. All your bids are returned to you if you lose the auction and then use the BIN feature. I, too, have compared the prices they list with store prices and have not found any discrepancies so far. Studying the site first is key. Read the tips! Spend only what you can afford! Do not expect to win every auction! I am completely satisfied with DealDash and having a great time!

I purchased the starter pack of bids for $32 giving you 200 bids. My wife and I decided to bid on one item. We figured this particular item sold for an average of
$28 so we were "in it to win it". So we thought. We started bidding from the beginning. I noticed that at the $5 dollar mark, the site would close this item to new bidders. "No jumpers" I think they call it. It was pretty exciting for the first 150 bids. Thought we had a chance so my wife wanted to purchase another 200 bids to assure we would win this item, so we did. As this second 200 bids started to diminish using the bid buddy system I started to notice bids from bidders I had not seen bidding on this item. Huh, that's weird. I thought this site was not allowing new bidders after the $5 mark. This was extremely frustrating when it came down to myself and just one other bidder for several bids, and we thought if we could just out bid this one bidder the item would be ours. So, we purchased a third pack of 200 bids. After about 50 bids into the third pack, other bidders were jumping in. These "new" bidders of course played their part in absolving all of my remaining bids. This felt deliberate! I do admit being excited and having some fun for the first little while. This was my first time doing anything like this. However, I did feel like I was being scammed as this auction went on. I would definitely try it again if I can get a "FULL" refund for the 3 packs that we purchased. Thank you.

Wrong item shipped. 5 days no contact by phone or email. When I called I was told "This sometimes happens and it'll be a few more days until I get contacted. Never mind how much longer until I get my item. Oh yeah! And a 12 foot box of aluminum tubes that was supposed to be a mountain bike blocking the entryway to my home. My favorite from Louisa the customer rep when I told her I was furious with their handling of this, "Sorry you feel that way." Somebody explain to customer service that saying, "Sorry you feel that way." is NOT an apology. So I guess I will just sit and stare at this monstrous box in my hallway while I wait for their "Shipping Team" to come back to work. Serious statement. Their shipping team doesn't work everyday. They have an alternating schedule so the chance of getting immediate help for a shipping issue depends on their team being on staff THAT day. Sounds like a great business model.

IT CONTINUES!
So here I am STILL waiting for the bicycle I won. Now they tell me they can't give it to me. The best part is that they sent me a box of aluminum tubes from Amazon that was supposed to be my bike. I called. I emailed. I took a picture!. Now the head of customer support has apologized and said they cannot resend the bike because the same mistake would happen again! Excuse me? What? This is the second time they have pulled this Bait and Switch maneuver. They promise the item and then offer you more bids or a gift card as a replacement. The gift card is only good if I can find the exact item and the exact price or lower. What are the chances and why has that become my JOB to go out on my own and fix their lie?

I love Deal Dash.! If you like auctions you must try deal dash! It is easy to use and their products are all top quality. My advice. Read how it works, Set a budget on how much you are willing to spend and jump in and have some fun. I have gotten some great items from Deal Dash, unlike some other auction sites I have tried in past.don't be discouraged if you lose in an auction, you can buy the item and receive all the bids you used. Everyone should try it at least once

I understand that dealdash.com allows a full return of your money on your first purchase if there is cause. My first purchase after some time bidding was to just go ahead and buy now. I that that on a laptop computer at the price of $514. The article was shipped promptly but when UPS delivered it the package looked like someone had taken a wrench to the box. The flap was also totally unsealed. I was not about to accept such a vulnerable piece of electronics under that condition. I refused the package and it was returned to sender on Sept 26th this year. I did not hear from DealDash.com so I went to their contact site and advised them of the issue. I have since contacted them twice more and have had no response from them. If this was just a small item I would walk away but I am 78 years old, not stupid, and not afraid of anyone but God. I have received recent emails from them so I know that their electronic system recognizes my electronic system. I will not hesitate to contact any tv channel which carries their advertisements, I will start at the top. I will give them one week to contact me in regard to this issue. As I told them in my correspondence to them, I just want to be a happy customer.

The last three day I've seen something strange happening on DD. I'm limited on cash so I watch the site a lot and bid when I think there's a chance to win. What's been happening is a lot, and I mean a ton, of low end $10 and $15 Amazon gift cards have been going for $. 01 and a few more for no more than $. 03. Many of those are going to "first time winners". That seems to have stopped since last nite. During that same time period the $25 and up cards have been going of very high prices in general with a few under a dollar. This a/m the site wasn't updating like is is supposed to as well. Possibly internet traffic jam or maybe a denial of service attack?
The obvious inference on the cheap cards is DD is somehow allowing newbies to "win" a few to keep up the interest etc. I really think DD is trying to maintain a rep of honesty etc but when I see things like this m alarm bell start ringing!

There are LOTS of team bidders or possibly it's the same person setting up multiple accounts. I have bid on three different items where there were two others bidding. As soon as I dropped out, one of the others did too letting the other win before someone else joined the auction. That's too much of a coincidence since it's happened three different times within a few days.

I did win an item 2 weeks ago that hasn't shipped yet. It's readily available online or at BestBuy. I contacted their support via e-mail & was told it may be as long as a month from the date the auction was completed. Their FAQ states fast shipping but it isn't.
