Fill Out Your Bio. DealDash Is Legit Fun! It is fun to save money and spend money too for that matter! We think that DealDash auctions are the most entertaining shopping experience out there.
There are other ways to find savings, but clipping coupons does not offer the thrills that come with a live auction. When you use the Buy it Now on DealDash, you always get all your bids back for free.
At DealDash, you can buy a pack of as few as 60 bids, or as many as 1,, for 60 cents each. DealDash runs one of such auction-based business models where it auctions products which eventually is bought by the customers at a comparatively lesser price than its actual price.
The business model runs on a penny bidding fee auction strategy and offers the bids for as less as 20 cents. These auctions will go on for about 20 minutes to an hour and 20 minutes.
You will use 60 to bids. Yes, you read that right. Even the Accounting firm that supposedly certifies the ethics of the Quibids business states clearly that they cannot test the legitimacy of the services.
There seems to be some trickery going on. I suspect they were computer generated shill bidders. They were a programming ploy to artificially drive up the overall token pool shill bidding on behalf of Quibids , making it appear the auction was closer to closing, and causing the discount price to be higher at the end. Real users should have been prevented by the software, as I was, from placing more than 15 bid tokens. Also, a real user would not place 50 bid tokens on an auction in an effort to win 15 of the same tokens.
After my investigation, I asked Quibids to refund my unused bid tokens. They did refund some of them, but claimed that some were not redeemable.
Only the tokens I bought from the cashier could be refunded. When I pressed the issue, suggesting I could charge back the fees, they threatened to ban me forever.
After a full investigation, using real money and engaging in the process, it is my considered opinion that Quibids is unethical and untrustworthy, not to mention massively expensive—a sink hole into which people who flunked math throw their money.
In my opinion, this is the most corrupt business model I have ever witnessed online. I would advise staying away from Quibids, and I urge you to warn your friends. Bids are like game tokens placed on an auction. Each Bid token placed on an auction increases the sale price by one cent. The value of an item is what Quibids claims the item being auctioned is worth, e. Previous Staff Comics.

So, I have Quibids for several months in and a couple of more here in Unfortunately, it is very addictive for me and I have lost a lot of money or bought a lot of gift cards!
Here are a few of my observations:. There are way too many people that seem to have unlimited voucher bids to use. One can determine this by observing and monitoring certain bidders OR using one of the bid services like BidPanther or BidNinja.
I have observed people spending hundreds of bid to win a 15 bid auction. I have seen on BidNinja where some people have tens of thousands of voucher bids How in the world could someone acquire that many bids?! I have observed a bidder who allegedly just signed up that day use hundreds of voucher bids and the bidders history shows he has never won anything.
The time frame for locking out bidders seems to have been extended. It is quite obvious that many of the so-called "Power Bidders" are using an autobidder. There will be one bidder bidding on more than 5 auctions but not using the Bid-o-matic.
All the bids are entered at the last possible second and at the exact point where someone's bid-o-matic stops. No way this could be done manually. Quibids either can't or won't do anything about this. Quibids hasn't updated their website in years and still advertises gameplays and other features that no longer exist.
Quibids continues to offer a way for Power Bidders to continue to dominate the auctions by selling the Bid Busters. Since they have huge amounts of voucher bids they will almost always win the auction and have even more opportunities to bid on auctions. Quibids is like gambling in that as a regular bidder you are not going to come out ahead. You ARE going to lose money The power bidders on the other hand are winning hundreds or thousands of dollars a day.
Of course the million dollar questions are: How do we know this operation is legit? How do we know these power bidders aren't "Sticks" an old carnival term for people hired to pretend they are playing and winning a carnival game to draw in more people.
The answer is: you can't. So bid at your own risk. Quibids almost never offers an item for sale now without including "voucher bids" as part of the item.
The idea that voucher bids are free is ludicrous at best. You either bid on a voucher bid auction or you pay for them if you win a gift card auction. Lastly, the real bids you used to bid on an auction are returned to you as voucher bids if you lose Quibids doesn't offer hardly any products to win.
Their selection of prizes is very limited to the same old gift cards they have been offering for years. You do not see all auctions all the time. The web page will refresh on its own and an auction will disappear. If you refresh again, it will reappear. So, in some way they are regulating what auctions you can see and bid on.
I have been a player almost since inception. I avoid many players, that I keep data on. I have noticed recently since fewer auctions are available and they are not 24 hours any longer, that some players are ALWAYS playing. I cannot see how this is logical. These are players that have huge amounts of voucher bids stored, that make it impossible for new and small players to win.
I have seen power players use voucher bids to win a 50 voucher auction obviously for intimidation. In all fairness to novices the site needs to limit amount of auctions played along with number of wins. The costs on winning auctions allowing a player to go above 12 auction win in a 28 day getting costlier for veteran players that are playing always. New players will keep the site stronger and allow novices a better chance to avoid the skilled players like myself.
Except I rarely bid on bid buster auctions. I enjoy the site and playing, but I restrict myself because I am aware how costly some auctions are. I avoid and especially around 25 power players who will play to win at ALL costs. I am willing to assist any new player if there were a forum, my suggestion to new players thinking of playing Don't.
Good luck. Quibids is a total sham. They lure you in with "real" winning bids on great stuff but those are not real bids. They have their own people or machines controlling some of the bids, then advertise those as "real" winning bids on their site. They'll let new users win their first bid to get them hooked, then after that users get screwed over. Be careful, I thought I was just putting in my information and they charged me without telling me first.
Also, when I submitted my info online, it said an error occurred and that it did not take my payment method which is a visa debit card.
