Customers still get great bargains on www.dealdash.com


I won this Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB white tablet for $18.46 and 290 bids. It retails for $499. Not only was shipping and handling FREE, but it was super fast. I won this auction on Feb. 27 and already received it March 5.

 

DealDash Still Proves to be Best Place to Shop


When DealDash grew from 250,000 customers to 1.5-plus million customers, I was afraid it would no longer be possible to win any more great bargains. I was wrong! 

Because we are now competing with a larger number of customers, we might have to develop some different winning strategies, but I proved that it is still possible to win some great bargains. Below is a list of some of the auctions I won in just the last four months -- from early November 2012 to early March 2013.

To figure out the total cost and how much you saved from the retail price, you must add the total cost of the bids used, to the closing cost of the auctions won  Otherwise, winning bidders could pay more than the retail value of the auction item, and that would defeat your purpose of trying to win a great bargain. Sometimes it will cost you less to use the BIN (Buy It Now) option and get all your bids back free. 

In my list of auctions I won in the last four months below, I include the name of the auction item won, the number of bids I used to win, and what I paid (closing cost) versus the full retail price of the item.

To figure out how much money I actually saved, I would have to multiply the number of bids I used by 11 cents, because that's how much I usually pay for bids because I purchase them on sale. That means, if I do the math (cost of bids used, plus the closing cost of the item won), my total cost of the Audio-Technica Professional Turntable was $188. Therefore, I saved $111 off the retail price, which is still a good bargain.
