Awesome Things to Keep in Mind About DealDash

DealDash is the best bidding site around. Here are some awesome things about DealDash to keep in mind.

DealDash is the number one “pay to bid” online auction site on the internet. Bidding on DealDash is transparent and easy to understand. The customer service team at DealDash is really top notch. There are so many awesome things about DealDash, you’ll want to read on to find out more information.

How Does it Work?

I mentioned above that DealDash is easy to understand. Truly, DealDash only takes a few minutes to learn how to use, and after you have learned the basics you can always read more on this blog and our other blogs (links at the bottom of the page) to really hone your skills. If you want a quick explanation, though, I am happy to oblige.

You, as a bidder, pay a fee per bid. After purchasing your first bid pack you’re ready to join the auctions and place bids. On DealDash Each bid increases the price of the item by one penny and extends the time of the auction by 10 seconds. If you are the last bidder to place a bid before the time runs out, you win! You will see fireworks on your screen, and it’s time to celebrate!

It’s Okay if You Change Your Mind

If you are a new bidder who has purchased a bid pack and decide after bidding that DealDash isn’t for you, no problem. Your very first bid pack purchase on DealDash is refundable. It’s easy to get your refund if you aren’t happy, just contact customer service and they will refund your first bid pack purchase. Just email or press the “Live Support” button to get assistance. DealDash will typically return your email within 1 day. If you prefer Live Support, the customer service is instant.

Set Alerts, Never Miss an Item

Another awesome thing about DealDash that you should keep in mind is that DealDash is the only bidding site that I know of that you can set alerts. You see, if you do a search on DealDash, it will pop up all of the products in the DealDash catalog that match your search. This doesn’t mean that there is currently an auction running with your chosen it, though. If you see the item that you want but it’s not currently offered you can just hit the “Set an Alert” button on the auction’s page and DealDash will send you an email when the auction has been added to the upcoming auctions.

Free, Free, Free

DealDash offers many free things to its customers. They offer free shipping on every single item, free bids just for stopping by every day and placing a bid, and also offer many other ways to earn free bids.

Some of the other ways that DealDash offers its bidders free bids is by taking selfies. Yes, that’s right! For every selfie that you take with an item that you won you can earn free bids by posting it on FaceBook, Twitter, and other social media outlets. Smile for the camera, earn free bids.

DealDash Heroes: Astronauts

Welcome to the newest DealDash series, DealDash Heroes! Today we are going to be talking a little bit about astronauts.

Many little boys and girls want to be astronauts when they grow up. These brave men and women are the curious and selfless forces that help us explore space and understand our world and universe around us. Astronauts are a very special type of people, and there have been very few of them in history. Here is a little bit more information about astronauts, and their importance in our lives.

Astronauts and Space History

The word “astronaut” comes from the Greek words meaning “space sailor,” and refers to all who have been launched as crew members aboard NASA spacecraft. So, technically, astronauts are only launched from the USA – other countries have other names for their “space sailors”, such as in Russia they are called “cosmonauts”, and in China, they are called “Space Navigating Personnel.”

The first human in space was a cosmonaut, Yuri Gagarin, who was from the Soviet Union. He launched on April 12, 1961, and orbited the Earth for 108 minutes. The first American (and second person) in space was Alan Shepard. He launched on May 5, 1961, on a 15-minute sub-orbital flight. As an American, you are probably familiar with the first astronaut on the moon – Neil Armstrong, in July of 1969.

What Types of Physical Risks are There?

There are many different types of physical risks to our heroes the astronauts. Some of the health risks that the astronauts face are decompression sickness (like deep-sea divers), barotrauma, immunodeficiencies, loss of bone and muscle, loss of eyesight, orthostatic intolerance, sleep disturbances, and radiation injury. About 2/3 of astronauts end up having vision problems due to the pressure in space. However, these brave astronauts know the risks and still choose to accept missions into space to learn more about our universe.

Things That Astronauts Do

When you think about astronauts you might imagine them floating blissfully through space like they are on an airplane ride. However, that’s not the case. When the astronauts are on the space ship or the International Space Station, they are hard at work. Some things that astronauts do while they are on the job are conduct experiments, launch satellites, and maintain spacecraft and equipment. So you see, there are many things that astronauts do that you might not have even thought about!

Bid on Toys and Gift Cards on DealDash

Do you have kids who love toys? DealDash has lots of toys that your kids would love.

Do you need to get a gift for your children, maybe for a birthday or as a “back to school” present? Shopping for kids can be a very fun experience, and seeing their happy little faces when they open up their present is a real joy. If you need a toy for your child, then win toys on DealDash!

DealDash Has Legos for Boys and Girls

What’s the perfect item for both girls and boys? What’s a gift that children in a family can easily share? Legos! There are Legos of every type and many different sets. There are even Lego sets for younger children. If the child you’re shopping for is too young for regular Legos try the Duplo blocks. DealDash has both regular Legos and Duplo blocks up for auction. All three of my children, aged 19 months, 5 years, and 9 years all play with Legos at my house. It’s one of the only activities that all three of them can play together. Legos? $48. Thirty minutes of silence because all of the children are playing nicely together? Priceless!

Gift Cards for Great Toys

If you are interested in getting a child a present but you aren’t sure exactly what they would like, then a gift card would make an excellent present. As kids get older I find it really hard to keep up with which video games that they have – and I wouldn’t want to commit the “grave insult” of getting them a game that they already have. So I find that a gift card works especially well for older kids, say age 10 and up. DealDash has many gift cards to stores that have toys. Some examples are Toys R Us, Target, and Wal-Mart. These stores have indoor toys, outdoor toys, and even video games.

Didn’t WIN? Let’s BIN!

Not everyone can win every auction, of course. Otherwise, DealDash would go out of business, and no one wants that! However, if you don’t win, DealDash always offers the option to BIN the item. Buying It Now (BIN) is a smart thing to do. After you’re done bidding in an auction, and realize that you won’t be the winner, then just hit the BIN button. After you have submitted your payment to DealDash, they will refund all of the bids that you spent on the auction. This is a great thing to plan on doing if you’re bidding on gift cards because the BIN price is simply the value of the card. No fees and no shipping costs!

DealDash Heroes: Nurses

Welcome to the newest DealDash series, DealDash Heroes! Today we are going to be talking a little bit about nurses.

Everyone has been in contact with a nurse at some time or another, and while they aren’t typically categorized as a “hero”, I believe that they are. These men and women are the calm and compassionate forces that help us feel better when we’re sick or hurt. Here is a little bit more information about nurses, and their importance in our lives.

History of Nursing

There have, of course, been nurses practically since the beginning of time. There are records all the way back from the year 300 A.D, with people assisting doctors in surgery and patient care. However, nurses really came into their own in 1860, when Florence Nightingale opened the first nursing school. Florence Nightingale was known as one of the most popular and beloved nurses in history.

Nursing became an extremely popular profession during WW2. Many, many thousands of women volunteered to go overseas and become nurses to our injured soldiers. This is when nurses really began to be called heroes.

What Types of Nurses are There?

There are dozens and dozens of different types of nurses. Some you have probably heard of, such as school nurses and operating room nurses. There are probably many other types of nurses that you didn’t even know existed such as nurse anesthetists and forensic nurses. There are different levels of education and degrees that a nurse can achieve such as LPN, RN, BSN, and MSN.

Things That Nurses Do

Nurses do hundreds of things daily, such as take information from patients, check vital signs, administer medications, and give comfort to patients. Nurses can do almost all of the things that doctors can do (barring surgery!), and in fact, my own children typically see a nurse practitioner instead of a doctor when they have a regular appointment.

My personal favorite type of nurse that I have come in contact with is labor and delivery nurses. Each time that I have been in the hospital to have my babies it’s been the nurses who have kept me company, gotten me ice chips and blankets, and helped me during birth, and even after birth. The doctor might have been the one who delivered my babies, but the nurses were the people that I shared my fears and joys with. For all of you current, future, and retired nurses out there – thank you for all that you do!
