DealDash 411: The Primates Dominated Last Night

KoKoTheMonkey was up all night winning stuff....5 items in the last several hours.

 KokoTheMonkey also cracks me up with their About Me: "I enjoy paying double for everything i own." DD411 loves it!!
 It's simple, not over the top mean or intimidating like some people say. Very matter of fact. (here is where i go off on a nerd-tangent: The use of the period instead of an exclamation mark is really what makes the biggest difference in this whole statement. If Koko had thrown in an exclamation mark, i would have lost some respect for him. If it were "I enjoy paying double for everything i own!" with exclamation mark, it gets a little bit more sassy and in-your-face and i don't take it seriously any more. When it ends with a period in a simplified sentence, it sky rockets in value, in my opinion. Now it just tells it like it is. KoKo, if you really put all that thought into your punctuation, i commend you.  Koko if you took a 50/50 shot on how to end your About Me, then you got lucky. Give yourself a pat on the back).

Meanwhile, mnkyluvr68 was also scoring a few things, including the HP Netbook for a low price and an android tablet.
So i think there may be a love triangle between KokoTheMonkey, owensmonkey and mnkyluvr68.   I guess we will have to see who she takes to Applebees with her new gift card.

Added to Watch List: QueenEO, scoring 600 bid win late last night (still crossing my fingers that her UserName is a tribute to CaptainEO) so she'll be out there bidding like mad.

Dalcindo - 300 bid win added to watch list.

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 - Evening update - The Holiday Weekend Begins

So is everyone in their cars off on some vacation for the holiday weekend? It is hit and miss with prices out there on DealDash.
For people like ProtoProToss, he'll just take his 2 buck ipad on the road with him and play all weekend.

There doesn't seem to be that many players bidding right now, unless they are all Silent Stalking to make sure we don't have another ProtoProToss debacle (for everyone else it was a debacle).

I'm still having trouble with some of the chosen UserNames. tufntiny1 is bidding on the Floor Steamer right now and I'm trying to assess what her chosen UserName says about her. We're on the web, so we can be any persona we want to be. So do  you want to be tough and tiny? or would  you rather be tough and ripped like ProtoProToss? Or should you be tough as nails? I'm not against the name - maybe it is better to come across "smaller." i just want to know if that is just a name or a strategic name.

Then i see GATORNY11.  I kept reading this as one word...gatorny. So i'm thinking is this an attorney? An attorney from Georgia? Some people put their profession in their username, so i went that route.  But then I looked again and maybe it is "gator" as in "alligator", and NY is New York? 11 is 2011? Is this a school mascot? Is this a sports team?  Or they live in NY and just really like alligators?

queenEO - i secretly wish this was some kind of reference to Disneyland/Disney World's ancient attraction with Michael Jackson - Captain EO. Remember how cool that was? That was really high tech 3D stuff at the time. But most likely EO are initials or something boring like that....But if anyone asks, queen EO, you should say you were inspired by Captain EO.

Don't tell me you don't wonder some of these things while  you are watching the Bid Buddies flickering like fireflies...
