DealDash Bidding as a Family

 

Bidding on DealDash can be a wonderful family activity. DealDash is available 24/7 for your entertainment.

If you think of DealDash as a solo activity, why not try sharing your bidding experience with your family? It can be very fun to pick out things to bid on together as a family. If you have kids that are trying to learn how to do math, how about getting them to help you in deciding how many bids you should place to reach the BIN (Buy It Now) price? If there is a birthday coming up in your family it could be very fun and exciting to have your kids help you pick out a present on DealDash, and then bid on it together.
Other than picking out presents for people, there are a few categories on DealDash that would definitely be of interest to other family members. I’ll go through the categories below that I feel might interest certain family members.
Fashion, Health, and Beauty – This category is great for mom, grandma, your wife, aunt, or even daughter. There are so many awesome things in this section, it’s one of my favorites. There are hair accessories and products, massagers, purses, and even jewelry and watches. If you would like to share the Fashion, Health, and Beauty category with the lady in your life, just click here.
Electronics and Computers – Most husbands, uncles, brothers, and dads would probably be interested in the Electronics and Computers category. There are always computers and tablets in this this section, however there are also a lot of other exciting and unique things to find in this category. For instance, this is where you can find bluetooth speakers. That would be a really fun thing to bid on. In this category you can also find cameras and camera accessories, phones, phone chargers, and phone cases, and let’s not forget video game systems and the games to go with them! If you’d like to show your husband or father the Electronics category, just click here.
Home, Garden, and Tools – This is another section that is great for a lot of people in your life. There are items for everyone from your sister to your uncle to your grandma in this category. This category offers the outdoor tools and accessories that are great for your handy projects, and also for the gardener in your life.

Looking at the Fashion, Health, & Beauty DealDash Category

 

DealDash

You might be surprised at what is in the Fashion, Health, and Beauty section. Let’s see what we can find.

   The Fashion, Health, and Beauty category has always been one of my favorites! Let’s break it down into each section. The items are each very different but all follow the common theme of either fashion, health, or beauty.
  Fashion – While it’s fairly rare that DealDash has a lot of clothing up for auction, there is occasionally a piece of clothing for your wardrobe. My theory of why DealDash rarely has clothing up for auction is because everyone is a different size, and there would be no way to select your size after winning. Also, a size medium in one brand can be a vastly different size of a medium in a different brand. When we are speaking of fashion on DealDash we are mostly talking about jewelry, watches, purses, hats, and backpacks.
  Health – Health items on DealDash tend to be of the pampering kind, such as foot massagers, Back massagers, and even extremely fancy “dream” massage chairs. As in, it’s only a dream for most people to own one. The health part of the Fashion, Health, and Beauty category includes some practical health items as well such as blood pressure monitors, electronic toothbrushes, digital thermometers, and even fitness trackers.
  Beauty – The beauty in the Fashion, Health, and Beauty category includes such things as perfume, hair dryers, flat iron hair straighteners, make up brushes, and more. These are my personal favorite items on the entire DealDash site, because I normally don’t treat myself to things just for me, but when I win one of these great beauty items I am very happy to receive it.
  So there it is, a quick overview of my favorite section, the Fashion, Health, and Beauty category. Judging from the competition in the the Fashion, Health, and Beauty category a lot of people enjoy this section on DealDash. If you would like to check out the the Fashion, Health, and Beauty category for yourself, just click this link right here.
  I hope that this article has peaked your interest in exploring the different categories at DealDash. Go check them out! Good luck and happy bidding everyone.

Learning About Fine Jewelry Metals with DealDash

Do you know much about fine jewelry and the metals it’s made out of? I knew absolutely nothing until my husband and I were shopping for rings. Let’s learn more with a little help from DealDash.

I found the differences between yellow gold, white gold, pink gold, and platinum fascinating. It’s a little tricky, but let me tell you how they make the different colors of gold, and what the different “K” (karat) numbers mean. Let me just make it simple by telling you about the basics behind alloys. 24 karat gold is 100% pure gold which is far too soft to hold up to the everyday wear of a wedding band. So how do we make rings that we can wear?  With alloys!  Alloys are created by mixing different metals together to create a stronger version of itself.

14k gold is extremely durable,  and it contains 58% pure gold.  18k gold is also very strong but is also richer in color since it contains 75% pure gold, this makes it the more precious, and also the more expensive option. In the case of yellow gold the remainder is a mix of equal parts silver and copper with a small amount of zinc. Making rose gold is really very similar – like yellow gold, rose gold is alloyed with silver, copper and zinc. However, the ratio is shifted to incorporate more copper and less silver, resulting in a warmer hue. Palladium white gold is the same deal – except it’s a mix of pure gold, copper, silver, and palladium.

Platinum is a completely different story. It may look very similar to palladium white gold, but it’s really nothing alike. Jewelry that’s made out of platinum is significantly more expensive that jewelry made of of gold, because platinum is about 30 times more rare than gold. And while gold is made with maybe 50-75% gold and the rest out of alloy metals, platinum is usually much more pure, averaging about 90-95% purity, which really drives up the price.

Personally, my husband and I opted for our rings to be made out of platinum. The main reason being is that is such a strong metal, and through it may develop a patina over time, it’s very easy to clean off with jewelry cleaner, or even just some warm soapy water.

Even though our wedding rings are platinum, most of my other jewelry is made out of different colors of 14 & 18 karat gold. I personally wouldn’t go to the expense of having all of my regular jewelry be platinum!

 

If you’re in the market to do a little jewelry shopping, why not see what DealDash has to offer? DealDash often has ear rings, necklaces, bracelets, jewelry boxes, and even Zales gift cards available for auction. And don’t forget, if you are bidding on an item and you don’t end up winning, you can always Buy It Now (BIN) and get all of your bids back. This is especially useful in the case of gift cards, since DealDash even provides free shipping! Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
