Back to School Deals

Think back to your childhood when you were a student. When summer drew to a close, were you dreading a return to the classroom? Or did it feel like Christmas Eve where you could not wait any longer for the first day of school to arrive? A lot of kids feel anxiety or get depressed when summer ends. These feelings are so common that experts call this the end-of-summer blues.

Now is the time of year when the end-of-the summer blues normally arrive, but maybe this year will be different. COVID has disrupted schools around the country, and many students didn’t have normal classes the past year and a half. One report estimates that over 168 million kids have had their education disrupted during the pandemic! This fall schools are preparing for students as more and more people get vaccinated and things (hopefully!) return to normal. Help the students in your life get ready for a return to the classroom by snagging some back to school deals on DealDash. We have an exciting promotion coming up to help eliminate the end-of-summer blues, our Get Ready To Learn Week extravaganza!

A week full of back to school deals!

Dealdash’s Get Ready To Learn Week begins on August 23rd and lasts until August 29th. The goal of this promotion is simple: make sure that we offer plenty of back to school deals to help students (and their parents) get ready for the upcoming school year. As they say, knowledge is fundamental, and so are deals! We have arranged to auction off all of the back-to-school essentials that students need to perform at their best. Studies have shown the importance of technology for students of all ages, so we will have auctions for laptops and phones. These devices allow children to learn through playing, which is becoming more and more common as educational apps and computer games are released.

Young students use laptops as a part of their daily school lessions.
A large part of education these days is getting students comfortable using technology.

Days full of learning can be tiring, so a good lunch is a can’t-miss part of the day for everyone. They say that there are two types of students; those who ate school lunches from the cafeteria and those who brought their own lunch. What side were you on? Were you carrying around plastic cafeteria trays? Or did you pull a brown paper bag out of your locker when lunch began? Nowadays school lunches have improved a lot since the good old days of spam and mashed potatoes. Lunch boxes have improved as well, and we have an auction scheduled for perhaps the best lunch box on the market, the Miranella TRU NOURISH Lunch Box. This lunch box features a large bowl, a small pot and a plate separated into five compartments. There are so many options, you could pack a different school lunch for every day of the year! These back to school deals are just a few of the many surprise auctions we have in store for you during our Get Ready to Learn Week.

Win in style

Our Get Ready to Learn week will not only offer great back to school deals. We also will have value-packed promotions, discount bids and special types of auctions to deliver the fun, exciting and savings that DealDash customers have grown used to. Keep an eye out for things like more No Re-entry Auctions, higher Time as Highest Bidder multipliers, and special bid pack purchase offers.

A New Way To Get The Best Auction Deals

What were you like twelve years ago? Where did you live? Can you still fit into the same size pants that you wore a decade ago? If those pants don’t fit, there’s no need to feel bad. As time marches forward, a number of things besides a love for French fries contribute to weight gain in adults. Odds are, some things have changed. After all, twelve years is a long time!

Looking back at old electronics is a great way to see how quickly things can change over the years!

Twelve years ago, DealDash was the place to be for savvy shoppers who wanted to compete for the best auction deals for the brands they love, and that is still true today. However, some things have changed on DealDash over time. We have more brands than ever before, and thankfully the DealDash App and website have had a few makeovers over the years. Change is a constant here at DealDash as we are always looking to improve how bidders compete for the best auction deals. And with that in mind, we are proud to introduce your next favorite type of auction: No Re-entry Auctions.

Bid jumpers need not apply

You will recognize the No re-entry auctions from the knockout symbol.

No Re-entry auctions are a twist on how DealDash auctions work. The rules of these special auctions are simple:

  1. Only BidBuddy bids are allowed
  2. If you run out of bids after the “no jumper” limit, you are eliminated from the auction.
  3. Adding bids to an active BidBuddy is allowed.

These rules mean that someone can not bid early and then sit back and be inactive while others are actively bidding. This strategy is known within the DealDash Community as bid jumping. It is a polarizing strategy to say the least. With No Re-entry Auctions, only those in it and participating from the very start can proceed. 

In No Re-entry Auctions you need to be in it to win it! Only bidders with an active BidBuddy are allowed.

A chance to use a bidder’s best friend

The No Re-entry auctions do not allow manual bidding. This means that you need to use the BidBuddy to participate. While this may seem like a limitation, experienced bidders know that the BidBuddy is a great tool to help you win the best auction deals. Experienced DealDash bidder Theresa B. even wrote a guest blog post detailing how the BidBuddy helps her save time and money as she competes in the auctions.

Our Team has spent many sleepless nights fine tuning the BidBuddy to make it the perfect auction companion.

Over the years we have perfected the BidBuddy to be as helpful as possible, and now many DealDashers consider it their best friend…at least as far as chasing the best auction deals goes. The BidBuddy only places bids for you when the clock is about to hit zero – the best time. If other bidders are placing “single” bids, the BidBuddy won’t waste any of your bids. It will only place a bid when the auction is about to get sold to someone else. And if you win the auction any remaining bids will be returned to you. It’s a great tool to use especially when you can’t be at your computer. It’s also the best way to stay in the auctions, and conserve your bids. We hope you enjoy the new No Re-entry Auctions, and we hope to see you (and your BidBuddy) participating in them soon!
