Don’t Miss DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale!

You’re probably familiar with the phrase, “Out with the old, and in with the new.” It’s a very popular mindset. Just pay attention to the commercials the next time you are watching TV. You’ll see ads for new types of cars, smart watches, and video games. You might even see a commercial advertising a new type of money! Most holiday sales will be featuring the newest and hottest items of the season, and we probably will too at some point this Autumn. But not this week. This week is all about the classics, the vintage, the retro. That’s right, it is DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale, and it is happening right now!

This week on DealDash, bidders can enjoy discount bid packs, a varying No Jumper Limit, special auctions like Leaderboards Auctions, and auctions for retro items, like a Playstation 1 and vintage-style home appliances!

Check out auctions for new retro items!

This week on DealDash during the Retro Revival Sale there are special auctions for great retro products that have not been available in our auctions until now.

Let’s start with video games – one of the most popular gift categories year after year. In fact, Americans have been playing more video games than ever! It is estimated that in 2021 alone, Americans spent over 51 Billion dollars on video games! In DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale, you will see several different video game systems up for auction, including one of the most popular video gaming systems of all time, the original Playstation!

Video games are a very popular holiday gift for children of all ages!

Retro items have become a very popular option for home decoration. One neat trend are items that both look vintage but also serve a purpose. You can see a few of these items this week on DealDash.

How about a classic-looking mini fridge that looks like it is straight out of the 1950’s? This item can hold up to 10 cans of your favorite drink, and its bright red and while colors will make you think you are in a vintage American soda fountain.

One item you will see on DealDash this week is a camera that blends retro style with modern technology – the best of both worlds! This camera has a vintage look, and would make a great centerpiece on a coffee table or shelf when not in use. But when it is put to the test, it can take pictures and then instantly print them! However, it is not just a replica of old-school polaroid cameras that also printed photos instantly. This camera has a companion app you can use on your smartphone to preview your pictures before you print them. You can even crop your pictures or add a stylistic border! This camera would make a great gift for a lucky friend or family member, or perhaps it would make a great gift for you!

Photography is timeless – it is always in style.

Don’t miss out on special auctions this week

In addition to the auctoins for great retro items, there is even more excitement packed into DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale. Some of our favorite special auction types are back. This week you can participate in Leaderoard Auctions that award free bids to bidders, and you will also notice that the No Jumper Limit is varying; you will see it set to different levels in different auctions. And last but certainly not least, you will find bids on sale for as low as 12 cents per bid this week.

Good taste (and great deals!) never go out of style, so we hope you enjoy our retro-themed auctions and promotions this week. Happy bidding!

It’s Time To Get Ready For Halloween!

The leaves have turned from green to beautiful shades of red and gold, and in most places, temperatures are plummeting. What does this all mean? Fall is here, so it’s time to get prepared for Halloween and to check out Eerie Liquidation Week!

Halloween is one of the most-celebrated holidays, right behind Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the 4th of July. In fact, Halloween is so popular, that almost 150 million Americans celebrate the holiday by carving a pumpkin. People celebrate in other ways, too. Some of the most popular Halloween activities include visiting corn mazes, checking out a haunted house, watching a spooky movie, and of course, getting dressed up in a Halloween costume! This year, the most popular costume ideas are a mix of timeless ideas, like being a dinosaur or ghost, and new ideas inspired by contemporary movies and T.V. shows, like Top Gun: Maverick, and Paw Patrol.

DealDash also has a Halloween tradition for you; our Eerie Liquidation Week Promotion where we offer liquidation auctions and special promotions. Best of all? You don’t have to wait until the end of October – it starts today!

Your last opportunity at liquidation items before they are gone!

A major part of the Eerie Liquidation Week promotion are the low-inventory items that are up for auction. Throughout the week you will notice that some auctions are marked with a pumpkin icon and caution tape surrounding the photo of the item. This indicates that it it is an auction for a liquidation item. If the product has fewer than 15 units in stock, on the main auction page you will even see how many units of that specific item are left! It might be just a couple or it might be ten, but be aware: this might be your last opportunity to win an auction for this item before it is gone.

If you see that one of your favorite items is marked as a liquidation auction, no need to fret. We are not reducing our product selection or partnering with fewer brands. On the contrary, DealDash has liquidation auctions to clear space in our warehouses for a new wave of brands and items that will be up for auction soon.

Less competition and more rewards

Eerie Liquidation Week isn’t just about special auctions. We also will be running our most popular promotions throughout the week, too!

When you bid this week, one of the first things you will notice is a varying no new bidders limit. The no new bidders limit (also called No Jumper Limit) is the limit when it becomes closed to additional bidders joining. Generally speaking, no new bidders may enter the auctions to bid after the bids hit the $5 mark. This week, the limit will be lowered in select auctions. How low will it be? Well, that depends on the auction. It could be $3, or it might be even lower than that. You will have to check out the auctions to see for yourself! One thing is for certain; you will want to bid in these auctions because a lower no new bidders limit means that fewer people can join a specific auction which means less competition for you.

Another promotion you will see this week is the popular Runner-Up promotion. This promotion gives you a reason to celebrate finishing second in an auction! In Runner-Up auctions second-place finishers will receive a discounted Buy It Now offer for 50% the original price.

That’s not all..

In addition to the Runner-Up Promotion, DealDash will also have increased Time-as-highest-bidder multipliers and auction winner discounts all throughout Eerie Liquidation Week. We hope to see you in the auctions and we wish you a Happy Halloween!

A Friend You Can Count On

You might think that bidding on DealDash is an individual activity, and you’d be mostly correct in thinking so. But did you know that there is a friend you can count on? A friend that helps you bid more effectively and even win auctions? Well, there is, and it’s called the BidBuddy!

If you’ve been around DealDash for more than a few auctions then you might already know about BidBuddy. It’s an automatic bidding tool that is available to DealDash bidders for each and every auction. And if you are the type of bidder who loves to multitask and participate in a few auctions at once, you have access to multiple bidbuddies; one for each auction that you are in.

Trying new things can be hard, and if you haven’t used BidBuddy before, perhaps you are wondering if it is difficult or if it requires a lot of brain power. Worry not; it’s very simple to use. Once you have chosen an auction you want to bid in, simply enter the number of bids you would like to add to the auction in the box that says “Number of Bids” and click the “Place Bids” button. It’s that easy!

Once the auction starts, the Bid Buddy will place your bids one at a time until you win or until all your bids allocated to it have been used. If you decide that this particular auction isn’t for you, or if the auction price is going too high, don’t worry, you can cancel your BidBuddy any time you like.

One great feature of the Bid Buddy is that it not only bids for you automatically, but it bids intelligently! It is designed to only bid when the auction clock is about to run out. This way, no bids are wasted. Many successful bidders rely on BidBuddy to help them win auctions and save time and money.

A sign alerts readers to keep calm and use the DealDash BidBuddy. — Do yourself a favor and rely on the Bid Buddy for some help.

BidBuddy guarantees your place

One perk that comes with using BidBuddy is our BidBuddy Guarantee rule.

The BidBuddy Guarantee is a feature that ensures all BidBuddies booked before the auction starts will be allowed to bid. This feature was introduced to make sure that everyone bidding before the No Jumper Limit could participate in the auction. Now, manual bidding before the No Jumper Limit will not exclude any BidBuddies from participating as long as they have been booked before the auction starts and have not been cancelled.

I hope this information inspires you in the auctions to try something new. Maybe you will even stop manually bidding for a bit to give BidBuddy a try. If you’re interested in reading even more tips and tricks check out the “Tactics & Tips” section on DealDash.

Knowledge Is Power: A Map to Find Free Bids

Being a bidder on DealDash can mean a lot of things. For starters, it probably means you enjoy the thrill of a great bargain. You also probably like shopping from the comfort of your own home, on your own terms. It definitely means that you are ahead of the curve when it comes to shopping trends! But it also indicates something else: you have bids. DealDash operates on the pay-to-participate model, so you need to buy bids before you can bid in an auction. By charging a small fee for bids, DealDash is able to pass on huge savings in the auctions. Buying bids is no big deal. The bid price varies based on the active promotions, but you can often find them on sale for 15 cents per bid, or less!

Bids might be inexpensive, and they definitely help bidders grab fantastic discounts on auction wins ranging from cookware to cars, but there is something that bidders love even more than DealDash bids; free DealDash bids! And if you have spent any time on DealDash at all, you probably know of a few different ways y0u can get free bids on DealDash. For one, there is the Time as Highest Bidder Meter which gives you a free bid bonus each time you fill the meter and advance to the next level. There are also special auction types, like Leaderboard Auctions that give out free bids to the top finishers.

Chat with us to give feedback and get free bids

Customer feedback is a huge tool for us. It tells us what works, and what we should change. How do we solicit customer feedback? For starters, our amazing Support Team is available 24/7 to collect feedback and answer any questions that come up. We also invite auction winners to leave a review of the products they win. These product reviews help us determine what items folks like best. And yes, you get free bids for taking the time to leave us a product review. We have collected thousands upon thousands of product reviews over the years, and most folks know about them. But a much lesser-known way that we collect feedback is through customer calls. A DealDash customer call is a short interview between you the customer and a DealDash employee.

Book a Customer Call using this link, and once the call is completed, you will earn a special DealDash Customer Call badge and 100 free bids.
