Labor Day Deals Are Easy Work!

For most of us, work is an important part of daily life. It’s how we bring food to the table and support our families. For some folks, their job is an important part of their identity. As soon as kids are old enough to talk they get asked, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” The most popular replies to this tough question are, a doctor, a teacher, or a veterinarian. No matter what you do for a living, there is a holiday that celebrates all of your hard work; Labor Day. Labor Day is the first Monday of September, and it celebrates the efforts of the American work force. For most Americans, it means a 3-day weekend where good food and perhaps a beer or two are in order. And perhaps some shopping and good-doing.

A promotional banner advertises one of the classic American retail traditions: a Labor Day Sale — Labor Day Savings are coming up on DealDash!

Labor Day Sales are a big deal in the USA, with Labor Day Weekend clocking in as one of the biggest retail events of the year. DealDash wants to honor all of your hard work by helping you stretch your hard earned cash just a bit further. Let us pass some Labor Day savings on to you and check out our Labor Day Week and Labor Day Clearance Week promotions!

Charity donation to help equip firefighters

Let’s start with the most important news of the week: DealDash will donate the final sum of all auction wins paid on Labor Day (excluding car auctions) to Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation.

This wonderful foundation helps firefighters save lives. They provide lifesaving equipment and needed resources to first responders and public safety organizations thus helping them to be better prepared to save lives in the communities they serve.

Below is a summary of what the foundation was able to provide to firefighters last year:

A full week of Labor Day Savings

Here at DealDash we think the best way to celebrate Labor Day is to save money! After all, most of us go to work to earn money, so it makes sense that saving money is a fitting tribute to your hard work. Luckily for you our Labor Day Weekend Sale is right around the corner! It takes place on September 4th and September 5th. During this special weekend event you can find Labor Day Savings on special bid pack auctions.

Sometimes winning an auction takes a bit of work, so we plan on making it easier for you during our Labor Day Weekend Sale. The No Jumper Limit will be lowered to just $3, and the Time as Highest Bidder meter will have a 2X multiplier added to it. We hope to see you in these auctions!

Starting from Tuesday and the Labor Day Clearance, all auctions will be 50% OFF the final sales price for some extra savings!

One Weekend is simply not enough time…

The Labor Day Weekend Sale is only here for 2 days, so it comes and goes pretty quickly! Luckily for you, we have decided that one weekend of Labor Day deals is not enough time. The fun starts already on Labor Day, which is Monday, September 6th. Labor Day pays tribute to the hard work Americans put in each year, so we had to plan something big to properly pay our respects. Are you ready to hear what we came up with? On Labor Day, the final sales price is slashed by 90% for the auction winner! Yes, you read that correctly! If you win an auction for a computer that sold for $100, you only pay $10! This is a great way to shop and keep your hard earned money right where it belongs, in your pocket! And after Labor day, from Tuesday, September 7th, through Friday, September 10th we have our Labor Day Clearance Event! This means that you get to enjoy the week of Labor Day savings.

Our popular Auction Leaderboard promotion will also be returning during Labor Day Clearance Week. This popular promotion keeps track of how much time each bidder collects as the highest bidder in a specific auction. The three bidders who have collected the most Time As Highest Bidder in an auction will earn additional bid rewards. The bidder with most Time as Highest Bidder in the auction gets the largest reward. The second and third place then share a smaller part of that. This is another great way to earn more free bids simply by bidding. Thank you for all your hard work this year, and we hope you enjoy the Labor Day savings we have planned for you. Happy Labor Day Weekend and happy bidding!

If you are new to DealDash or the bidding fee online auction model and want to give it a try, use the promo code “dealdash2021” upon registration to get an extra 100 free bids with your first Bid Pack purchase.

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.

A mother gives a pep talk to her daughter to prepare her for the first day of school. — Parents might be even more excited for school to start than children are!

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.

Saving money feels good, but it feels even better if you have fun while doing it. No need to study or cram for an exam! Just be ready to bid when our Get Ready to Learn Week begins!

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!

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:

Only BidBuddy bids are allowed
If you run out of bids after the “no jumper” limit, you are eliminated from the auction.
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.

A disheveled scientist holds up a laptop as he frantically works on his latest creation. — 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!

Score Great Cheap Father’s Day Deals This Weekend!

If someone asked you to list the most important jobs in the world, what would you say? Images of doctors and emergency first responders come to mind. Perhaps you would have politicians and judges on your list. Many folks had their lives changed forever by an amazing teacher or coach. And if you’ve ever been unfortunate enough to live through a garbage strike, then you know how important waste management workers are! Children have a slightly different take on things. The New York Post published a survey that asked kids what they want to be when they grow up. Most boys dreamed of becoming a pro athlete while the mist common answer for girls was to be a teacher.

So get ready for a weekend of promotions, special auctions and discounts that dads everywhere will love! This is your chance to get Amazing Cheap Father’s Day gifts! If you are not a father, fear not. You can enjoy DealDash’s Father’s Day Weekend Sale, too!

Expensive tastes on a cheap Father’s Day budget

The most popular Father’s Day gifts have not changed over the years. 50 years ago, Dads across America were receiving ties or cufflinks on Father’s Day, and decades later they still are a popular gift on Dad’s Day. Taking tradition into consideration, we planned auction blasts for the best Father’s Day gifts to take place on June 18th and 19th. This means you will have plenty of chances to snag dad (or yourself!) a cheap Father’s Day gift. From electronics to fashion to just the items needed for a summer full of outdoors activates, we have you covered.

A father and son both relax and enjoy a moment in the sunshine. — Father’s Day is a time for Dad’s everywhere to kick back and relax!

To make these Dad’s Day deals even better, we have made some important changes to the auctions during our Father’s Day Weekend Sale. To start with, the No Jumper Limit has been lowered to $3 from the usual $5. This means less competition in the auctions which gives you a better chance at a cheap Father’s Day deal! We also are offering a 50% off discount to everyone that wins an auction that starts during our Father’s Day Weekend event. We hope to see you and maybe your dad too take part!

Don’t forget the most important thing…

We have a big weekend planned for Father’s Day, 2021, and you shouldn’t miss it. But be sure to remember the most important thing about father’s day; spending time with family and thanking your father in person if you are lucky enough to be able to. DealDash has thousands of deals available each week, but each of us only has one set of parents, so it is important to stop and appreciate them every day, and especially on Father’s Day.

Happy Father’s Day to all the dads out there, and happy bidding to everyone!

Is DealDash Worth Bidding On?

Hello DealDash Blog Readers! This week, I have just one important question for you, so listen up and listen good. Is the juice worth the squeeze? Well, is it? Before you take out your blenders and cook books, let me clarify things a bit. I’m not talking about some fad diet or a new recipe. “Is the juice worth the squeeze ” is an informal way of asking if something is worth the trouble. Many Americans look back on their student loans and definitely think that the juice was NOT worth the squeeze. In fact, over 50% of older millennials regret their student loans.

A hand squeezes an orange to make orange juice. — Sometimes the juice is worth the squeeze…like bidding on DealDash!

Married men have a more optimistic answer about if the juice was worth the squeeze. In a study published by Harvard University, married men reported better mental and physical health than their unmarried peers. But what about DealDash?

Is DealDash worth bidding on?

Bidding in online auctions is a new way of shopping for a lot of people and it is natural to have some doubts. In this blog post we’ll cover some of the doubts people have about whether DealDash is worth it. Thankfully, DealDash offers exciting auctions, acclaimed customer support, and all the items you could ever want, from socks to new cars… and rumor has it maybe even a boat! We took a look at the numbers recently: over 50% of auction winners save 90% or more from the auction win price. If you don’t believe us, read the thousands of reviews real customers have left us. So what are you waiting for? Bidding on DealDash is worth it!

What can I shop for on DealDash?

We know that the most important thing to a DealDash bidder is having the chance to win great items from auctions and save money in the process. If DealDash didn’t have an amazing selection of brands that customers love, then there is no way we would still be open for bid-ness. The best part about our inventory of items is that it is constantly growing. Last month we had a liquidation sale to make room for all of the new and exciting products that you will see in the auctions soon.

Jut look for the magnifying glass icon on the DealDash app or the browse categories button on the DealDash website and you will be on your way to finding your new favorite brand.

Is using DealDash fun?

A store can have the best items in the world, but if the shopping experience is bad, then the juice is not worth the squeeze. Take for example Black Friday. Every year there is a news story that shows people fighting to get in the door of a large store for the right to save $3 on a broom. Then there are the 3-day long lines that pop up each time Apple releases a new phone. Apparently the juice is worth the squeeze for some people as these lines seem to grow longer and longer with each new iPhone release.
