Instead of grabbing a drink at your favorite restaurant, you will be grabbing dinner via curbside pick-up.

DealDash’s unique pay-to-patriciate format makes this possible. To bid in a DealDash auction, you first need to buy bids. If you use your bids in an auction and don’t win, you have the option to purchase the item for the Buy It Now price to get both the item you were bidding on and the bids you used returned to you. This is called the Buy It Now feature. It is one of many things that make DealDash a popular alternative online bidding and shopping place.
