DealDash 411 Tips, Hints, Strategies, and General Commentary: The Wind of Change?

(Whistling...................(if you haven't already gotten it, you probably won't)............)

Are we feeling the wind of change? Are we feeling a slight breeze of fresh air? I ask, because last night, a few people were taken to the magic of a moment, on a glory night, where the children of tomorrow dream away in the wind of change (if you aren't smiling you still don't get it. that's ok). Here is one of those people:

 he got my tablet for $0.29!!!! You know i've been going through a PA Bitter Phase. That is when you see these deals and actually get bummed because you didn't get it. This is that phase where you say things like you are 6 years old again. "It's not fair!" "Why can't I win it?" "Nothing good ever happens to me!"
Normally I am very happy for the people who get the ultimate deal but lately the lucky ones like Jayboy - right place at the right time - have been making me Bitter. Maybe because i never got the ultimate deal during my PA playing days. So I immediately have to throw myself a pity party.

I'm thinking it is because there have been such outrageous auction prices and such epic battles that winning something great is now like an honor.  LIke GOODKARMA

At least there was a fight for this one. So when something goes for $.29, it just sucks. Not for jayboy. But for poor poor me..Ok I'm out of the Bitter phase moment. You know you have all had that moment where you get bitter...don't pretend you don't know what I'm talking about...

Anyway, the wind of change. I say this because last night, there were quite a few wins for just pennies. We haven't seen that in weeks! We have seen the random one here and there, but last night there was ALMOST some consistency...I don't want to claim that things are settling down, but this is a good sign. Unless there is going to be another sale tomorrow.

In other news, Ms. Lailamar won something - weird.  (that was sarcastic). She'll be sneaking her popcorn into the movie theaters now...AMC - keep an eye out...I'm sure she has one of your gift cards. She may be smuggling in popcorn (which we all understand because somewhere someone decided you should overpay for everything at the movies).


Pennywiser - someone's got your number. You put out the call and they have answered...this one's for you!! We'll need our Peacekeeper up and alert. No falling asleep at the computer...

Is there change in the air? Let's keep watching....

DealDash 411: Where on Earth Did I Go?

Thanks for the comments wondering about my whereabouts. It makes me feel special. Whew, what a week, i'll tell you that. Here is what happened:

So i was on my yacht, the Immaculata, and we were cruising up the Pacific Coast, and late one night i went out on deck, lost my balance and fell Overboard into the ocean. When they found me, i had amnesia and i had no idea what had happened.  This carpenter who had remodeled my closet (poorly, i  might add. Everyone knows a good closet is made from cedar!) recognized me and i went to live with him and his family and learned not to be a horrific snob. Then my memory came back and i went home a better person and realized life on my yacht wasn't as great as being with the sweaty carpenter. So i turned the yacht around and he came to find me and we both jumped into the ocean, swam to meet each other in this brilliant moment and i lived happily ever after. 

Do i even need to explain what i was just talking about? I hope not....

I just checked out DealDash and geez has it changed in just a little time! I recognize none of these Newbies, snow cone makers are going at high prices and hop-ons are everywhere. (Remember hop-ons? i'm not kidding - this is the new term).  I was feeling lost - where were the Beefers? RemysMom? Any name i recognized?  Then i saw lailamar  jump in on an auction and felt grounded once again. And then I saw manzanita and everything was once again ok in the DealDash world. Though I won't truly feel like I am home until a Beefer shows up....

I'm back on the DealDash watch, but you all have to tell me if anything ridiculous happened while i was gone...any newbie names that need pronunciation or analyzing, or anything else. I already have my list going....

Deal Dash 411 : Current Assessment

IPAD:  Wait on the Ipad - watch for Dawnof1 Bidbuddy to go off, as well as CHDresser. They have had BidBuddy on from the start
KODAK EASY SHARE CAMERA:  you will need to wait out lailamar and SniperElite to have a chance on this one
SEWING MACHINE: DD411 says just avoid this one completely right now. There is a big time battle going.
300 BIDS: Axeman755 and Whitchhunt (is this supposed to be funny somehow? or just a misspelling? I can't be sure), have set their Bid Buddies on this one...you'll have to wait these two out. Looks like doobee46 has also gone in gung ho, but is a Newbie, so may not last through this one.
