A New Face For The New Year

On DealDash, bidders love to show a bit of their personality in the auctions by choosing a funny or witty username, and of course selecting an avatar of their choice. The avatar is the photo that displays next to your username while you bid. DealDashers either select from a premade group of cartoon avatars, or they upload a photo of their own to use on the mobile apps.

Over the years, we have introduced exciting new items, promotions, and gameplay features to DealDash, but the avatars have stayed the same. We might have been overlooking them to work on other matters, but today we are proud to announce that we are not neglecting avatars anymore! In fact, we have 42 new avatars that are ready for you to begin using immediately!

A friendly face for any occasion

Putting your best face forward on DealDash is easy across all devices! On desktop, you can change your profile avatar from your Dashboard section. On Android, open the main app menu (three lines at the top left of the main screen), then tap your picture in the top left. On iOS, tap Dashboard → Settings, then your picture in the top left. Then all that’s left is deciding which new avatar is best for you!

With our new avatars, now you will have a face for every occasion, or auction!

From firemen to zombies, there is something for everyone! And if you really want to get in on the fun, take a guess at which one of the new avatars will be most popular! Let us know your guess by sending an email to our support team, and if you turn out to be right, we just might have a prize waiting for you. For reference, the most popular of our old avatars was the beloved garden gnome.

This was the most popular old avatar.

What avatar will you choose to use? Make your choice and head on over to the auctions! Happy bidding!

Your Spot is Guaranteed with BidBuddy Guarantee!

Good friends are truly one of life’s biggest blessings. Nearly everyone can think back forty or fifty years and remember their childhood best friends. Most wedding ceremonies have important roles like the Maid of Honor or Best Man that are filled with trusted friends, and whether we are experiencing a joyous moment or are going through difficult times, friends go through those things with us, too. Dogs are called man’s best friend because of their loyalty and faithfulness, and this title is well deserved. If you don’t believe me, you should check out the story of Hachiko, a dog in Japan that waited 7 years at a train station for their owner to return!

Hachiko became a local celebrity and now you can visit statues of Hachiko in Japan, or even watch a blockbuster movie about the dog starring Richard Gere (he plays the dog’s owner, not the dog!).

Friends play an important part on DealDash, too! DealDash’s Customer Support Team is like having a tech-savvy friend available 24/7! Lot’s of folks post their DealDash wins on Facebook to share the joy of a big win and also earn some free bids along the way!

But perhaps the best friend to any smart bidder is not a DealDash employee or a Facebook friend, but a handy piece of software called BidBuddy! And in 2021, we are making that even better by introducing a new feature called the BidBuddy Guarantee!

Hurry, Time Is Ticking!

The hectic holiday season is over, and you might be ready to take it easy for awhile. January is usually a good time for folks to kick back and recover form all of the holiday excitement. There is no need to go out in any Black Friday crowds, cook any Thanksgiving turkeys, or battle shoppers over this year’s new, must-have video game console. But before you get too comfortable, you should know that you need to act fast so you can save money in 2021 with DealDash’s Beat The Clock Sale!

The week-long event starts on Monday, January 18th and offers flash sales and rapid fire promotions that will have you on the edge of your seat. Now is not the time to wait around! You need to act quickly to beat the clock!

Our Most Important Promotion Ever!

It may sound dramatic, or even a bit like clickbait, but DealDash is about to launch its most important promotion ever. Are you rolling your eyes at this bold statement and having some doubts? We don’t blame you. But hear us out – after all, we have brought you auctions for luxury cars, amazing vacations, and ran all sorts of special promotions and sales over the past decade.

*People find themselves more vulnerable than ever before due to the COVID pandemic.*

However, what we have planned overshadows everything else that came before it. For one week, starting on 12/28, we will donate a meal to charity for every purchase made. This promotion lasts until 1/3, and you will not want to miss it. It is a great opportunity for you to help those in need simply by doing what you already love; shopping and winning auctions on DealDash!

An Important Cause—Now More Than Ever

There are some things that should be taken for granted. In a perfect world, no child would ever consider an education or access to food and medicine a luxury. These are basic human rights, and as stated by the United Nations, everyone should have access to an adequate standard of living. The sad reality is that many kids do not have access to these things. The COVID-19 pandemic has made things worse and now food banks across America are struggling to keep up with demand. At DealDash, we want to do our part to help, and we want you involved, too. This is where the idea to donate a meal for every purchase made comes from. All you have to do is simply use DealDash as you normally would. Buy some bids, hopefully win an auction, or use the Buy It Now option.

You can help fight hunger in a big way simply by being active on DealDash from 12/28 to 1/3!

Santa’s Little Helpers

It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas…everywhere you go! Are these popular Christmas lyrics true for you? Better yet, have you been listening to Christmas music nonstop all month?

The spirit of giving has been a core part of DealDash since the day it was founded as a way to give back to bidders who didn’t place the final bid and make sure that they do not have to go home empty-handed. So put on your favorite holiday music, pour yourself a glass of eggnog, and read about some DealDash holiday miracles and the people that make them possible.
