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....

DealDash 411 Strategies, Tips, Hints: About ME section

The new ABOUT ME section. So as you know, the shout-out days are over and they have been replaced with the ABout Me statement. Everyone seems to be using this in ways reflective of their personalities, or what they want us to think about their personalities.

We have the "honest, likeable,  just want to connect with people" person.
      These are the people who really are retired, or a nurse, or love to travel and are not creating an internet persona. They are really describing a little bit about themselves. They are nice and innocent. You just want to give them a an "aw" and hope they don't go broke trying to get a bean bag chair.

We have the "intimidation tactics" person
      These are the people who have to say some thing like "i never stop bidding," "you should just give up" blah blah blah. I would love if one of the key intimidators was this sweet little grandma like Charlotte, handing out Deal Dash Oreos and milk to the grandkids and then getting on DealDash and StrongArming everyone with an About Me that says "I will annihilate you with my 1 billion bids."
I can hear it now...
"Bed time kids! Finish your ice cream and Presto Flipside Belgian Waffles! I'll be in to play Super Mario (Collector's Edition) Yahtzee game,  and then turn on your Twilight Turtle Night Light.... right after i kick some Newbie butt and get this Cracker Barrel Gift Card for your grandpa."

We have the Proud family people
      So and so's mom, brother, wife, grandma, newphew, step child, brother, uncle, neighbor, colleague, friend, life coach, .....It's nice that people are so proud of their families. You know, like my favorites Mr. and Mrs. Beefer and remysmom. 

The About Me is now a tool for some people in their Intimidation Tactics games, or their innocence game...psychologists could probably come up with full personality profiles based on the Usernames and About Me. But they won't. So i'll continue to handle it.

Now get back to the games, and don't fall asleep before the Fondue Set comes up.

DealDash411: So far DD411 IS Really Proud of the Parents

You know who you are...we all know who you are. My fav remysmom, baxtersdaddy, hotgrammy - It just makes me feel warm and fuzzy to see that you are NOT on DealDash nonstop during this holiday weekend! You are probably hanging with the kids (or dogs, cats, i mean do we really know?), and that is really special to them. You are such proud parents that you involve your kid in your UserName, and then hang out with them and have fun on holiday weekends. You can DealDash all day when they go back to school in the fall.  With all this great parental attention, you'll have a "honor student" bumper sticker in no time.
And remy's mom - I'm especially proud of you, because we know you won a  pen spy cam and walkie-talkies...so you could easily set up the spy cam on remy, set a walkie-talkie down next to him, lay out in backyard and tell him to behave. And you chose not too. Well done.

DEALDASH411 - Holiday Weekend Traffic

So we are coming into a National Holiday Weekend. That would be the 4th of July, our Independence Day for anyone sure why you get a day off work. So will our DealDash friends spend their extra free time on DealDash, playing through their new 750 bids? Will they commit to staying hooked to their computers instead of enjoying the outdoors, the sun or the beach? DealDash 411 will continue to make assessments about the holiday weekend situation - see what Oldies are going to hit the auctions or who wants to enjoy their holiday weekend with fireworks. I know we'll have some HardCore Bidders poised to hit auctions when they hear all the fireworks go off, hoping that players like remysmom took Remy to go see the fireworks show.

"remysmom" added to "Who you are you up against?" list!

Remy, you should be really proud of your mom. She spends all her time winning cool stuff on Dealdash. She's proved herself more than just a Newbie at this point. She has graduated to the LIST of people you should be wary of according to DD411. Remy just make sure your mom still pays enough attention to you. Lots of DealDash gifts are no substitute for a mom's love.
