Cyber Monday Week Is Still Here!

Do you have the Black Friday blues? Are you afraid that the best shopping days of the year have passed you by? After all, the biggest shopping day of the year for brick and mortar stores, Black Friday, has come and gone. And Cyber Monday, the biggest day of the year for online shopping, is over this year, too. Cyber Monday takes place every year on the Monday that follows Thanksgiving. This year it was on November, 29th. It is the day when online retailers offer their biggest discounts of the year to try and entice holiday shoppers. It is a relatively new event, having been around for only 16 years or so. In fact, the original iteration of Cyber Monday looked a bit different.

A computer screen searched for Cyber Monday Deals on the internet. — If you are sad that Cyber Monday is over, check out DealDash this week!

One online flower shop tried marketing White Wednesday as a shopping event for Americans to enjoy before Thanksgiving, but it did not catch on. Perhaps folks were too worried about what stuffing recipe they were going to use, or if deep frying their turkey would be a tasty idea, or just a terrible one.

You might be asking why you are reading all about Cyber Monday if it has already passed this year. It’s a bit early to get excited for Cyber Monday 2022-edition, right? Well, good news. The DealDash Team realized that all the promotions, auctions and deals for Cyber Monday could not be packed into a single day, so we extended our celebrations to be an entire week! Right now on DealDash it is Cyber Monday Week, so pull up a chair and pull out your favorite bidding device and get on DealDash ASAP to see what all the fuss is about!

Follow the leader

One exciting part of DealDash’s Cyber Monday Week Sale is the Leaderboard Auctions. Leaderboard Auctions are a special twist on the normal DealDash auctions that you know and love.

These auctions work as normal, but with one special twist; a leaderboard has been added to the auction page! The leaderboard will display the name of the bidders who have collected the most TAHB (Time as Highest Bidder) in that auction.

A chalk board with talleys keep track of the score during a competition — Leaderboard Auctions track the amount of TAHB time bidders earn in an auction and reward the top finishers!

When the auction ends, the three bidders who have collected the most TAHB in that auction will earn additional bid rewards!

More free bids during Cyber Monday Week

Cyber Monday Week on DealDash gives you the opportunity to earn more free bids than normal! Each day, the Time As Highest Bidder meter has a bonus multiplier attached to it. Some days it is 2X, other days it is 3X, and if you happen to visit DealDash on the right day during Cyber Monday Week, you will see even a 4X multiplier!

Just bid in the auctions as you normally do, and collect 2X, 3X or 4X on your TAHB meter!

Just visit DealDash.com or open up the DealDash App on your favorite device to get in on the Cyber Monday Week excitement. The best time to do your holiday shopping is now, so what are you waiting for?

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.

Black Friday on DealDash: A Whole Week of Epic Promotions!

Did you know that Black Friday dates back to the late 1800’s when large department stores like Macy’s and Sears would organize Thanksgiving Day parades? These stores wanted to gather large crowds of people together to promote their sales and get them shopping!

While we don’t have any plans for a DealDash parade this year, we have done our best to provide you with the most epic auctions and promotions this Black Friday on DealDash! Here is a sneak peek at what we have in store!

Mega blasts are here!

We feel that our Black Friday Promotion should not center around one day, but rather there should be a lot happening throughout the week! As such we will kick off the week with a blast of 100 auctions on Monday morning at 8:00 AM Pacific Time! A blast means that there are a lot of auctions starting at the same time – in this case 100!

A pink cupcake sits with three candles that spell out, ''100'' - the number of auctions scheduled to start at the same time on DealDash on Cyber Monday! — 100 auctions are all scheduled to start at the same time on November, 29th, at 8:00 AM Pacific Time!

If you happen to miss Monday Kickoff, don’t fret. There are also other blasts throughout the week! On Tuesday 40 auctions will start at the same time at 4:00 PM Pacific Time, and another 40 at 8:00 AM Pacific Time on Wednesday. On Black Friday itself, we are planning on having 5 big blasts! At 8:00 AM Pacific Time, 100 auctions will go live, as well as four separate 50 auction blasts in the evening starting every hour between 3:00 PM and 6:00 PM Pacific Time. Over the weekend, we will have auction blasts for specific categories of items at 8:00AM, 4:00 PM and 6:00 PM Pacific Time on both days!

Are there any discounts, other twists, or Flash Sales?

You bet there is! For all auctions starting between Monday and Wednesday you have to pay only 50% of the final auction price when you win an auction! On Thanksgiving and Black Friday, we’ll boost your Time As Highest Bidder (TAHB) by 5X on Thanksgiving and 4X on Black Friday! Besides the TAHB increases, both days contain 90%-off Flash Sales! Over the weekend, we let our customers enjoy runner-up auctions! In those auctions, the first runner-up will receive a personal 50% off Buy It Now offer when the auction ends. Also remember to check the daily challenges, there are some super rewards waiting for you if you complete those!

Surprise hours

The daily promotions are also spiced up with Surprise hours throughout the week with extra perks for active bidders! Be on the lookout for Surprise hours – you’ll find information on our daily newsletter or push notifications to your mobile device when the Surprise hour is about to start. If you do not receive our Daily Newsletter email, contact DealDash Support to get yourself added to the list! The surprise hours entail for example bid pack offers and TAHB multipliers! Oops, I might have let the cat out of the bag there! Maybe I shouldn’t have mentioned those quite yet…

Enough about all that, where are the video game consoles?!?

We got you covered here, too! Over the past few months our Procurement Team has worked like crazy to gather enough Playstation 5 and Xbox Series X consoles to satisfy the demand we expect to see! This Black Friday you will see more than a dozen of these consoles go up for auction on DealDash. Even Jack Bauer might face a challenge to keep track of all of those!

But wait! There is still more!

One question we get all the time is, when is the next car auction coming up? Kaboom! The answer is next week of course! We will be auctioning the 2022 BMW X3 sDrive30i – Jet Black on 4:oo PM Pacific Time on Black Friday. As a heads up, we will also be auctioning SWFT MAXX e-Moped on Cyber Monday at 4:00PM Pacific Time. Besides the vehicles, we try to introduce one new special item each day – ranging from 4K QLED TVs to R2-D2!

Less bidders, less competition

Don’t feel like bidding against too many others? Good thing we have multiple No New Bidders flash sales planned as well!

Monday: No new bidders after $1 Flash Sale between 4:00 PM-6:00 PM
Tuesday: No new bidders after $2 Flash Sale between 4:00 PM-6:00 PM
Thursday: No new bidders after $1 Flash Sale between 8:00 AM-10:00 AM as well as 4:00 PM-6:00 PM
Saturday: Whole day has No new bidders after $3 twist in place, instead of the normal $5

The blasts are great opportunities to catch a deal – especially as some of those blast auctions are mystery auctions. The mystery auctions are marked with a question mark, and the item is revealed only 5 minutes before the auction starts! Best of all, no Bid Buddies can be booked before that meaning that there is likely to be less competition in these auctions!

What if I want to shop for my family, but I don’t win an auction?

No need to worry! You can always purchase the item at the Buy it Now price within 7 days of the auction ending. What about all of the bids you placed in the auction, you may ask? You get them all back! Every time you use the “Buy it Now” option, every bid you placed in that auction is returned to your bid balance, so you can try again in new auctions without buying more bids!

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.

A young boy smiles as he confidently waits for class to begin. — This guy is ready to have a rockin’ school year. Are you?

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!

DealDash 12th Anniversary Event!

A very special day is coming soon, a day that we should celebrate together! You didn’t forget, did you? Here’s a hint to help you remember; the traditional gift that’s exchanged on this day is silk. Hmm, that didn’t help much. How about another hint! This day commemorates 4,380 days together! Now can you guess what day I’m talking about? That’s right, DealDash’s 12th Anniversary is coming up!

Colorful letters spell out ''12 years'' and indicate that a big party is right around the corner! — Get ready to celebrate 12 years of DealDash!

Depending on how you look at it, this can also be called a birthday celebration. Here at DealDash, we love a good party, and we have celebrated this occasion as both our anniversary and our birthday. Both names fit, and the main point of the party is to give back to the people that have supported us every step of the way…our customers! So put on your dancing shoes, keep the BidBuddy at the ready, and celebrate 12 great years with us!

Let’s get the party started!

Most birthdays and anniversaries are celebrated on one day. That isn’t quite good enough for us. We think the DealDash Anniversary deserves a bit more fanfare, so we decided to make our party last a week! The festivities get started on Monday, February 22nd, and they will last all the way through Sunday, February 28th. We have spent the last 12 years running exciting auctions, offering amazing promotions, and introducing awesome auction features that make bidding exciting, like the new BidBuddy Guarantee!

All of these things will be on offer during our DealDash Anniversary event. You will receive a bonus multiplier on your Time As Highest Bidder Meter that will range from 2X all the way to 4X! We will also be lowering the No Jumper Limit on some days during our week-long party, and if you are bidding at the right time, you will see it as low as $1!

And what’s a party without gifts? Sure, it might be our anniversary, but you are the one who will be receiving presents! Each day we will have a daily gift for you. Simply log in daily to read more how to claim your gift! You might find a bid pack purchase discount waiting for you, a special daily challenge for you to complete to earn free bids, or even a special bonus multiplier for your personal Time as Highest Bidder meter.

I’m In Love With A Bidder

February 14th is almost here, and that means that you or someone close to you is about to celebrate Valentines Day. Maybe you will be buying roses and chocolates for that special someone, or perhaps you are helping your child pick out Valentine’s Day cards that they will exchange with classmates. If you are like some of the DealDash Staff, you will choose to spend Valentine’s Day on your couch watching one of the countless TV shows or movies based around Valentine’s Day. Whatever you choose to do, Valentine’s Day is big business!

Hearts and wooden blocks spell out a nice Valentine's Day message. — Hearts and Will you be our Valentine this year?

In 2020, Americans spent an estimated 27.4 Billion dollars on Valentine’s Day! That means that the average American spends almost $200 celebrating the Feast of Saint Valentine. Who says that money can’t buy love? Here at DealDash we have a two-day celebration coming up for Valentines Day. Be our Valentine and get some DealDash love!

Many forms of DealDash love

We have a weekend planned that gives you a lot of different reasons to love DealDash. Our 2021 Valentines Day celebration takes place from Saturday, February 13th through Sunday, the 14th! We want to share the DealDash love with you, so we have jammed this promotional weekend full of exciting rewards. You will find an increased Time As Highest Bidder Multiplier that will be 3X or higher! There will also be special Valentine’s Day bid packs for you to win. You will even see even some special auctions for items that are perfect for Cupid’s big day.

A pile of candy hearts wait to be given out and eaten. — Candy Hearts are a staple of Valentine’s Day just like big savings are a staple of DealDash.

We want as many bidders as possible to feel the DealDash love, so we also will be rewarding second place during Valentine’s Weekend! That’s right, the Runner-up Discount is back and the second-place finisher in select auctions will receive a 50% discounted Buy It Now offer.
