DealDash Says Goodbye to August

Can you believe today is the last day of August? To many people this symbolizes the end of the summer season. Let’s look back at our summer.

It’s been quite a summer, so many different things have been happening all over the world this summer. Here is a quick re-cap of the exciting things that have happened over the past few months.

In June the United Kingdom voted to leave the European Union. It was a very tight vote, leaving won by 52% to 48%. The referendum turnout was 71.8%, with more than 30 million people voting. This might not seem like it’s very relevant to us leaving here in the USA, but when something this important happens it’s effects are likely to be felt around the world, especially in financial ways.

In July, in a 4+ year journey to the solar system’s largest planet, NASA’s Juno spacecraft successfully entered Jupiter’s orbit. The Juno spacecraft launched on Aug. 5, 2011 from Cape Canaveral Air Force Station in Florida. Juno will orbit Jupiter 37 times in all. One trip around Jupiter takes Juno about 14 days. Juno’s mission is important, because Juno is doing this trip to help us learn more about our solar system; and what we learn could help us find more new planets!

In August, of course, were the Summer Olympic games in Rio De Janeiro, Brazil. 11,303 athletes took part, and luckily, the United States dominated the medal table for the fifth time in the past six Summer Olympics, winning the most golds (46) and most medals overall (121).

I hope that everyone had a wonderful summer!

DealDash Wants You to Save Money

DealDash know that life can be expensive. That’s why they strive to save you money at every turn.

Saving money is something that most people think about regularly, budgeting and planning for life’s different events can be a little difficult sometimes. DealDash understands your frustrations and actively participates in your goals to save by bringing you quality products that can literally be won with 1 bid and 1 penny. I have won countless (OK, maybe not countless, I can definitely count to 50!) auctions with a single bid. I can’t even begin to describe the excitement that is felt when you win an auction with 1 bid that you would have otherwise spent $20-$25 or even more on at the store.

Every time you bid on any of the auctions on DealDash you have a chance of getting a great discounted price, and occasionally a practically free item. However, even if you don’t win them you are still earning clock time towards free bids that you get to keep even if you end up BINning (Buy It Now) and getting all of your bids back. So you can see, DealDash wants you to be able to earn clock time towards free bids that can be used on any auction that you like, even on the special days where there is a 50% or 100% off the final auction fee days. Remember, if you don’t win you can always BIN (Buy It Now and get all of your bids back.)

I like to use DealDash to get great deals on items that I would normally be buying anyway, so if I end up BINning the item I am not actually spending more than my regular budget. I love DealDash because I can have some fun by bidding and winning, but also by being responsible and sticking to my budget by using the BIN feature.

After reading this article I hope that you have a great feeling about your budget and saving money. How about checking out some auctions DealDash and throwing in a few bids here and there? You never know what you might win with just a few bids. There are all types of items in many different categories that are just waiting for you to go bid on them. Go find some awesome products. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

February Vacation With DealDash

Do you have school aged kids? If you do, you are either excited or dreading February vacation. If you are planning a trip, look to DealDash for some inspiration.

If you’re still reading, I assume that means that you have school aged children. In my county our February vacation is later on this month, the week of the 21st, which also coincidentally is my (and also my husband’s!) birthday. So we look forward to February vacation, since the kids are off of school for the week we always get to take a trip for our birthdays. I know some people don’t look forward to February vacation, though, so let’s look to DealDash and see what sorts of things we can use on February vacation.

If you’re heading out on a trip for February vacation, of course you are going to need luggage, or maybe just some smaller travel bags for a weekend trip. Well, DealDash has you covered on both of those items! If you go to this link here, you will find all sorts of different luggage and travel bags that you can use for your trip.

If you happen to be going somewhere warm with a beach area, how about a fun family activity? DealDash has many different types and styles of metal detectors. I remember how much fun I had when I was a kid and my family would go to the beach and use the metal detector together and find all sorts of great stuff in the sand. If you and your family haven’t tried using a metal detector together, give it a try, it’s lots of fun! Check out the metal detectors at this link here.

Finally, how about doing some bird, whale, or animal watching on your February vacation? Kids of all ages love animals, and it’s so fun to see how excited they are when you get to see the animals in their natural environment. No matter if you’re going to a distant location or just staying in your own neighborhood animal watching with binoculars is great fun for kids and adults alike. DealDash has many different choices of binoculars to choose from at this link here.

Always remember the great part of DealDash – if you aren’t the winner, you can always BIN (Buy it Now), get all of your bids back, and get free (and fast) shipping on your item. Remember, if you have ever “over bid” just hit the BIN button, pay retail price for the item, and DealDash will when refund all of the bids you used on that item, and you can try again another day.

So if you would like to get some things for your February vacation check out the auctions on DealDash. It’s a great way to get what you need and have a great time bidding as well. See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.

Continuing to Look at Different Bidding Styles

If you’re just getting started at DealDash you might be puzzled at all of the different ways that people use to bid on items. This guide is a continuation of last week’s handy guide to different bidding styles.

If you’re used to classic auctions that have prices that raise by tens or even hundreds of dollars at a time you will quickly realize that DealDash is a LOT different. The price raises very slowly at the rate of 1 Penny per bid, and bidding is not as straightforward as you might think. Here are a few other ways that people bid:

The Hello/Goodbye: This particular bidder is very crafty and a little bit tricky. They usually check in at the beginning of the auction with a few bids, then stop bidding. You think that they’re gone, but suddenly they’re back again! This can go on and on for quite a while. It can get a little frustrating for the people who have been bidding consistently to not know if this bidder is going to pop up out of nowhere again, but hey, it’s a great strategy to throw people off of their bidding game.

The MUST Win At ANY price: This type of bidder has always puzzled me, and you see this type of bidder most frequently when DealDash is running one of their 3X or 5X clock time promotions. The MUST Win At ANY price bidder will clearly over bid…And keep on bidding.

Let me give you a great example. A little while back I was bidding on a $100 Toys R Us gift card. Pretty straightforward, right? I started bidding at the same time as another bidder, and we were both using our BidBuddies. As I was getting close to the BIN (Buy it Now) cost which of course is the simple formula of – price of bids X number of bids + final auction price – I figured that the other bidder had done the same calculations, and depending on what price they had purchased their bids would determine if she was going to win, I was going to win, or someone was going to jump in when both of us were out. Well, I hit the BIN cost, and shut off my BidBuddy. I had spent just about $100 in bids + final value, so I BINned the gift card, got my bids back, and wandered off to do something else. Imagine my surprise when I came back an hour or so later and this original bidder was STILL bidding! I couldn’t believe it, so I kept watching.

The bidding went on and on until she eventually “won.” However, I wouldn’t really consider it winning since she clearly spent more on bids + final value. I took note of her bidding name, and whenever I noticed that she was bidding I would watch, and this The MUST Win At ANY price bidder seemed to do the same thing at every auction. It makes no sense to me, but hey, that’s the great thing about DealDash – you can bid ANY way that you would like, it doesn’t have to make sense to anyone but yourself.

Those are just a couple more of the ways that people like to bid on DealDash. What’s your favorite way? Please stay tuned for future blogs where I will discuss more advanced ways to bid. For now, check out the auctions and see what you would really like to bid on, and try my tips to save bids. See you on DealDash everyone! Good luck and happy bidding.
