Don’t Miss Our Independence Day Clearance Event!

The morning after the 4th of July might feel a bit like a letdown. The steaks and hot dogs have been grilled, fireworks have been set off, and you may have even watched a local parade. But now what? With the 4th of July done and gone, the next major holiday for Americans is Labor Day, all the way in September! So now what? Are the dog days of summer here? Was the highlight this 4th of July the world famous Nathan’s Hot Dog Eating Contest, where professional eater Joey Chestnut ate more than 60 hot dogs in 10 minutes?

Thankfully, the answer to the above questions is a resounding no! The best part of summer is not over, you still have time to celebrate the 4th of July, and last but certainly not least, you do not have to eat 60 hot dogs like Joey Chestnut did in order to experience some thrills this summer. DealDash has you covered because our Independence Day Clearance Sale is in full swing! Keep reading to find out more about this exciting DealDash event and to also learn about summer celebrations from other parts of the world.

Summer celebrations from around the world

Most Americans have July 4th marked down on their calander, and for good reason; the 4th of July is one of the biggest holidays of the year. Most folks celebrate Independence day by lighting off some fireworks, enjoying picnics or barbecues with friends, or spending some time outdoors.

The vast majority of Americans celebrate the 4th of July, over 85% according to recent surveys, so even if you don’t celebrate the 4th yourself, you don’t have to look far to see some fireworks.

But what about other parts of the world? Each country has different celebrations for important days of the year, and in most places outside of the USA, the 4th of July does not mean a whole lot. For example, what significance does the end of June have to you? For most Americans, the answer is ”not much”, but in Finland the end of June marks the important midsummer celebrations! Finnish Midsummer, known as Juhannus, celebrates the arrival of summer. The midsummer celebrations take place on the summer equinox, so the date can vary.

People gather around bonfires, play games with friends outdoors, and spend time in the beautiful finnish nature. It is very common for folks to travel to the countryside to spend time camping or in summer cabins.

Just about each country in the world has their own summer celebrations, ranging from White Nights in St. Petersburg, Russia, to the Puck Festival in Ireland. If you find yourself traveling during the summer months, do some research and see if there are any unique summer celebrations you can enjoy!

Enjoy Independence Day Clearance from the comfort of your own home

You don’t need to travel to enjoy a great summer celebration. Even though the 4th of July has passed, DealDash is throwing a can’t-miss Independence Day Clearance event right now!

From July 5th through July 10th DealDash is celebrating summer in style. During the Independence Day Clearance Sale, bidders can enjoy a discount on bids (selling for as low as 12 cents each!), increased Time as Highest bidder multipliers, and Runner-up auctions, which award the second-place finishers.

New kinds of auction fun

To make our Independence Day Clearance Sale even more exciting, there are special auction twists for you to enjoy! These auctions have different rules, which open the door to new strategies! Get on DealDash now and look for No Re-Entry Auctions, which only allow bids to be placed using BidBuddy. Once the No Jumper limit is reached, only bidders with a BidBuddy booked (that has not run out) can continue in the auction.

You will also have the chance to spy on your fellow bidder during the Independence Day Clearance Sale with our Spybuddy auctions! Every 60 minutes in auctions marked with the SpyBuddy icon, you can reveal all booked bids for one minute. If the bid count is over 500, then it shows as 500+. The list of booked bids does not update after the reveal; instead, you must wait at least 60 minutes to reveal again. Look for the orange magnifying glass icon for these auctions, and let the best spy win!

We hope that you are able to enjoy some more Independence Day fun, even thought the 4th of July has passed.

Happy bidding, and thanks for being a part of DealDash!

Discover a Wonderland of Online Auctions

You might read the title of this blog and think that it’s a little late to be talking about a wonderland. After all, the word wonderland is most commonly associated with winter. You can thank Bing Crosby for this association: He sang perhaps one of the most famous Christmas songs of all time, Winter Wonderland, released in 1962.

Or maybe, the word wonderland reminds you of a young girl named Alice who went down the rabbit hole and met a cheshire cat and played croquete with flamingo.

An illustration depicts Alice in Wonderland watching flamingos and interaxting with the cheshire cat. — DealDash offers a different kind of wonderland from what brave Alice experienced!

Lewis Carroll’s famous book Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland was published in 1862. It depicts a magical land that is not bound by the rules of the everyday world that we know. The wonderland that Carroll dreamt up is so fantastical that the book has been adapted into countless theatrical works and films and is still popular today, over 150 years after it was written!

We’ve not been around long enough to celebrate 150 years of online auction awesomeness, but we have celebrated some important anniversaries and are looking forward to many more! So while we cannot compete with the longevity of Bing Crosby’s Winter Wonderland, or the world that Lewis Carroll dreamt up for Alice, we feel we have a very special Wonderland to tell you about; our Auction Wonderland Promotion that is happening this week (January 30th through February 5th).

And if you’re busy this week, don’t fret. Next week you can discover all sorts of exciting online auctions during DealDash’s Discovery Week!

An online auction wonderland

This week DealDash is transformed into an auction wonderland that would make Alice’s head spin. For starters, bids are on sale all week, with prices as low as 12 cents per bid! The bid price does vary—bids are not 12 cents each all week. So be sure to check from time to time this week to give yourself a chance to buy bids at the lowest possible price.

You will also notice some exciting twists to the DealDash online auctions that you already know and love.

For starters, there is an increased Time as Highest Bidder multiplier of up to 3X being offered on select days. This means that you will fill up your bidding meter more quickly and be fastracked to higher bidding levels and more free bids.

Also, you can enjoy two other popular types of online auctions; our Leaderboard Auctions and Runner-up Auctions. Leaderboard auctions give free bids to those who collect the most Time as Highest Bidder in an auction, and the Runner-up auctions give a special Buy It Now discount to the ibdder who finishes in 2nd place.

A week to discover online auctions and new items

Next Monday marks the start of DealDash’s Discovery Week Event. This exciting promotion offers bidpacks on sale and also the exciting online auction twists seen this week during the Auction Wonderland Sale, like Runer-up auctions and Leaderboard auctions. But that is not all. Discovery week gets its name from the fact that there are many exciting products and online auctions for you to participate in.

Variety is the name of the game during Discovery Week, and you will notice a very high number of different items to bid on. Unlike auction blasts, where many auctions for the same item all begin at once, Discovery Week will have auctions for many different items running at the same time. In other words, you will have a lot of different items to choose from because DealDash’s great item selection that you already enjoy is taken to the next level. From jewelry to watches to tools to electronics, odds are that you will be able to find it in a DealDash online auction during Discovery Week.

We even will have an auction for a new car starting next week, so be sure to visit DealDash to see what DealDash auto auction is coming next.

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!

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.

Where Do Great Deals Come From? It Starts With DealDash Suppliers

A cornerstone of DealDash has been helping our customers save money. If you’ve had the chance to bid in a DealDash auction, you probably noticed significant savings in comparison to what you would typically find in a big box store or at the mall. But have you ever wondered how we do it? It all starts with our trusted network of DealDash suppliers.

Keep reading to find out all about the DealDash suppliers, how we work with them to pass savings on to you, and a special weeklong liquidation event starting soon on DealDash.

Great suppliers create a win-win-win relationship

Since 2009, we have partnered with dozens of companies from around the world to fuel the auctions that you know and love. Want to take a guess at how many items we have brought to auction with the help of our suppliers? Over 2 million! Our efforts have not gone unnoticed either as we were awarded the “Best Excess Inventory Liquidation Service – USA” award at the 9th annual award ceremony held by Global Brands Magazine.

Awards are nice, but our supplier partnerships serve a much more important purpose; obtaining a diverse product catalog that can be sold in our online auctions at far below retail prices, on average. In fact, we look at the partnerships with our suppliers as a true win-win-win scenario. Our suppliers win by being able to move large amounts of excess inventory without destroying the value of their brand. We win by having access to a variety of brands and their products from all around the world to fill our auctions win. And last but certainly not least, our customers win by being able to bid on and win these products that are often sold for a fraction of the suggested MSRP price.

A partnership that goes beyond savings

Perhaps the best part of our partnerships with the DealDash suppliers is that the benefit goes beyond a great deal. It is more important than that. For starters, we are motivated to help companies avoid having to discard and destroy unsold merchandise. The practice of destroying excess product is unfortunately all to common, and many brands have come under fire in recent years as videos showing luxury jackets being slashed or purses being burned go viral as they are shared online.

A fashionable women wearing expensive clothes walks through a landfill. — High fashion meets the landfill all too often.

The reason brands resort to destroy items is to maintain pricing power. Imagine if a luxury purse company discounted last year’s bags at 50% off the normal MSRP price. Savvy customers would take note. They would simply wait for an end of the season sale to get a great bag at a nice discount. So instead of discounting items, some brands destroy them instead. This way they don’t have to lower prices to move goods. We help them solve that problem by purchasing excess inventory from them and then auctioning it off. We never list products below the MSRP without the permission of the brand. Only the auction winner may purchase the item at the final auction price, everyone else has the option to purchase the item at the “Buy it Now” price, which is set at the MSRP unless otherwise agreed with the brand.

Don’t miss out on Inventory Liquidation Week on DealDash

June 6th to June 13th is the perfect time for you to get on DealDash. That week is Inventory Liquidation Week. Each day we run multiple auctions at the same time for featured liquidation items. We’ll also make the auctions more exciting than ever by offering big discounts on the final sales price of the auction. This means that the winner will be entitled to 50% or even 90% for select auctions. You can find Auction Leaderboards that reward bidders with free bids for collecting time as highest bidder during an auction. We will be offering our Runner-up discount to second place finishers in select auctions, too! And if all that excitement isn’t already enough, keep your eyes on the No Jumper Limit during Inventory Liquidation Week: sometimes it will be lower than the normal $5.

We hope to see you in the auctions, and thanks for being the best part of DealDash.
