After 9 months on Dealdash... I just did the math. It cost me $947 to buy/win $600 worth of goods. I feel so stupid after adding up the price of all the bids I bought and the goods. It is addicting and they do little things to distract you from realizing how much you are spending. (earning "free" bids, teasing you that someone just got a fantastic deal on something).
Hi Gerald. I'm sorry to hear that you didn't win as much as you were expecting. If you'd like to receive some bidding tips and strategies to help you win more auctions, please get in touch and we'll be happy to help. My personal email is adrian@dealdash.com
I would encourage you to take advantage of the Buy it Now feature if you do not win an auction. This virtually removes any risk of bidding and leads to an overall better experience of using the site based on the customer data we've gathered since our February 2009 launch.
If you have any further questions, please don't hesitate to contact me.
Best,
Adrian
