DealDash411: Tips, hints, Strategies - Another All Nighter I PAD

Still going...we have another IPAD that ran through the night...I see pennywiser in there...pennywiser were you up all night battling? I can 't believe you don't have an I pad yet! Well good luck.

And MORETOCOME just joined in against the some of these 8/13 Newbies who think they can win an ipad on their first day of DealDash. Actually it looks like mostly seasoned players are in there...who is going to win this thing? I'm on the edge of my chair with excitement.

So the line up of auctions today looks fairly typical...nothing too incredibly noteworthy EXCEPT for this!

please say it comes with a shoulder strap, please say it comes with a shoulder strap. Then it would be full 80s style and it would be awesome.  You know rock band could continue to add instruments. Or wait, I got it....they are going to come out with "Classic Orchestra." So then they can have flutes and violins with colored buttons and you and your friends can play classical wonders. Trumpets too? How about a harp with push buttons? ooh ooh the giant bass. It can come with a height adjustment for short and tall people, so everyone can reach the buttons. Then they can split each tv screen into 20 sections with musical parts and it won't be confusing at all. Don't you want to call your friends to come over and play Classic Orchestra? I bet this one will be a real bit hit with the young kids..."Jimmy! My parents just bought me Classic Orchestra! You have to come over today so we can play some Mozart! I call dibs on the French Horn!"  Definitely another genius idea.  Wow. I just had to reach back to my 3rd grade music class to pull out some orchestral instruments.  Like timpani. You know back when they still could teach kids about music in school? I played the xylophone. Really well i might add.

DealDash 411 Strategies, Tips, Hints: Out of Control Newbie Alert!

I'm putting brand new Player Jazz6 on the Out of Control Newbie List...this player is throwing bids down on 3-4 running auctions, some of which have some big time players involved, like LadyK, Pennywiser, faeryranger. Didn't your mom and dad teach you that bids don't grow on trees? Jazz6 is going to have to burn out soon..if not, he may burn out his credit card really soon.

let us watch.

DD411 - The Newbies have Invaded

Does it feel like one of those movies? Like Independence Day? War of the Worlds? You know when all kinds of alien creatures come down to Earth and wreak havoc? The Newbies are swarming Deal Dash and pushing prices waaaaay up...i'm hoping this is the backlash from the 50% bid sale, and everyone must have their IPad right now. Amongst the Newbies, there are some Elite Gamers popping in on wins:
manzanita, pennywiser, ProtoProtoss, our pal punxsy (do  you like how i decided i know punxsyphil well enough to call him punxsy?). i'm guessing the Elite Gamers are used to the influx of Newbies.

The Newbie names i see popping in the most and WINNING:
tandcelite (no surprise - they won a big bid package - ok and now it is honesty time. I'm really sorry but every time i see this name i see the word "cellulite." I'm really sorry i'm not trying to be offensive. But I just think it every time i see this UserName pop up).
grerob5 - I like grerob5 because she has a Super Dog!

I have nothing against Newbies, but they are usually the most entertaining to watch! But there are some Newbies slowly graduating onto to different categories of players....i'll let you know when someone graduates. If you think you know a Newbie who is no longer a Newbie, let me know and i'll watch for that player and make an assessment. We'll have a monthly graduation! It will be fun.


queenEO - go back and find my comments/blog about queen EO.Just for nostalgia sake.
James0908 - he's been winning. but note on the Nook, it says he won but then the actual auction shows queen EO will be reading on that nook instead...who actually won?

DealDash 411 - Morning Recap - The Good News and The Bad News

Bad News - joeddot scooped up some nice items at a low auction price (that's bad news for us, good news for him). $.07 for 40 bids? It's a steal.
Good News - Joe hit his under $200 limit of 6, so hopefully he'll be enjoying the weekend. We'll see when he shows up again (approx), and see when his limit resets. (So, yes joe, you are right. This isn't good news for you. We'll catch you later).

Some usual names were on the win list:
FoolishMan
drummerboy
Iwin_or_upay
manzanita
pennywiser
heavyhitter

BabyFidgette will be taking us all out to P.F. Chang's this weekend which is awesome because i haven't been there for awhile. Order me some Crab Wontons - I'll meet you there.
Cryleew would also come and video the wonderful dinner, but she already committed her camcorder to joeddot who wants to document his hedge trimming.

MyPreciouS showed up early a.m. to score a fondue set for Frodo and the guys

bidingaddict beat out 1happydog for a Home Depot Gift Card and 40 bids (i think if it had been a PETCO card, results may have been different..."hit the button! keep hitting the button!" Obviously a family is working the mouse for the dog. Dogs can't use a mouse, duh). BidingAddict, you won fair and square $.42...but i'm a sucker and i feel bad for 1happydog. Now he is 1saddog, and dogs aren't supposed to be sad. I'm sure he'll eat some poop and be 1happydog again. Maybe someone should have a UserName of supercutepuppy....then everyone says "Awwwwwwww" and thinks warm and happy thoughts of puppies and ice cream and you don't want to take down the super cute little DealDash puppy. Maybe Owen's Monkey would, but that's just the survival instinct.

Dealdash 411: CURRENT UPDATE

rigs - Out of Control Newbie...joined today and is bidding in almost every auction. he doesn't know what he is doing! We need to let him burn out....he is waaay too excited. It's like Cryleew all over again. But i think Cryleew has figured out some strategy now, so we'll take her out of caps and give rigs the honor being the premiere Out of Control Newbie.
pennywiser popped up early on the Presario Notebook, so he is most likely Silently Stalking. Pennywiser is good - watch it.
BabyFidgette is going for the Chromebook - remember, BabyFidgette recently won 600 bids. Assumes she stocked up during yesterday's deal, and you have to play thinking she has 1350 bids!

DealDash 411: Morning Recap + NEW STRATEGY TOOL!

Cryleew - you must get on here and tell us what happened! i didn't see your name on anything last night...we need to hear from you! I'll put you in lower case letters, I promise! You need to read some tips, hints and strategies at the bottom of this blog! Please!

mclass1 took the Ipad - and a Super Mario Kart Bundle - This player scored! mclass1 is on the radar and could possibly be added to the watch list soon...

Last night our Nightcrawlers come out...some of our Oldies who win at night:
pennywiser
punxsyphil
krisoma

If you plan to pull an all-nighter, pay attention to when you are against a Nightcrawler - you may need to adjust your strategy

Piggy1Bird looks like she played all night too, but she'll be busy today eating Slim Jims and Playing their new Lego Wii game...At this point DD411 doesn't think Piggy1Bird is a Nightcrawler to be too worried about. In fact i wouldn't give her Nightcrawler status yet.

THE STRATEGY TOOL that DD411 is NOW offering, is a weekly ranking of players based on the amount of $$$ worth of prizes they won. You can see who is going for the big items and who may be a flipper. All to help you figure out your best move against them! And if someone surpassed the rest, I'll give them Gold Star of the Week award. Maybe  I will re-name that. That's 5th grade teacher talk.
