Stuck At Home? Turn To Alternative Online Bidding Sites!

New cases of COVID-19 are on the rise across the United States which means that Americans will be forced to change their habits for the time being. Instead of grabbing a drink at your favorite restaurant, you will be grabbing dinner via curbside pick-up. Perhaps your favorite college football team does not have any games scheduled and you have to watch TV instead. And if you want to do some window shopping at the mall, you will probably find a lot of your favorite stores are closed. Maybe it’s time to pick up on some alternative online bidding sites?

Alternative online bidding sites like DealDash are open 24/7. — This sign is becoming an all-too-familiar sight for many shoppers.

Even if people are forced to stay at home and businesses are ordered to shut their doors, life goes on, right? Kids will still expect some Christmas magic and maybe a pile of presents. Many adults will expect some Thanksgiving magic and dream of turkey with all the trimming – pandemic or not.

Yes, there are still plenty of things that need to be done, and with normal life disrupted, many folks are trying new things, like online bidding site alternatives, to eliminate boredom and prepare for the holidays. DealDash is a great place to start your journey into the world of online auctions, and DealDash prides itself on being the longest running and loved pay-to-participate bidding site in the US!

Only the Best Parts of Shopping

Online bidding sites are nothing new. DealDash has been around since 2009 and folks have a lot of nice things to say about DealDash! DealDash and other online shopping destinations are busier than ever because of the lockdowns and restrictions caused by COVID-19. 2020 might have changed how Americans shop forever! Even though its annoying to find the mall closed when you really need to buy something, many people are happy that they shifted to online bidding site alternatives. DealDash offers promotions and savings that traditional stores can’t match.

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.

Gift Cards

No matter who you are shopping for, everyone can use a gift card. Some people say that a gift card is an impersonal gift, but personally I both love to give and receive them. They are absolutely the perfect gift for someone who is hard to shop for, someone who has everything, and also someone that you don’t know very well.

DealDash has so many different varieties of gift cards that there is one for everyone from kids on up to adults. There are big box-type store cards such as K-Mart and Wal-Mart as well as restaurants such as T.G.I. Friday’s and Red Robin, and even cards for travel such as American Airlines.

Buy It Now (BIN)

If you end up not winning an auction that you would like to get as a gift for someone, no problem. You can always use the Buy It Now option (BIN) and purchase the auction item at the retail price, which is always listed on the auction in the upper left corner under the title. This allows you to get back all the bids you put into that specific auction. This is perfect for items you planned to purchase anyway. Remember, each win and BIN gets free shipping, so you really can’t lose by using the Buy It Now option.

Buy Gifts for Kids

If your kids are anything like mine, they love electronics. They don’t use their own computers yet, but they sure do love their tablets. If your kids are age five or older, they probably have some kind of personal electronic device such as an iPad, iTouch, or another MP3 player. What sort of thing are your kids interested in this year? Here are some suggestions of what you might like to try to win for them in the Dealdash Electronics and Computer category.

Drone. If you have older kids, such as age ten and up, they are probably interested in drones. Drones are cool and can be such a fun thing to do together as a family, exploring the neighborhood with your very own drone.
Headphones or earbuds. These make excellent stocking stuffers! Kids tend to lose and break things much easier than adults do, so it’s a smart idea to have a few extra sets on hand so they don’t have to stop using their MP3 players when they misplace their headphones.

What Does Dad Want?

It’s a fact, dads love electronics. From TVs to video game systems to computers, dads are always in the market for the latest and greatest items. If you’re not sure what dad might like for the holidays this year, here are some ideas that you can look for in the Dealdash Electronics and Computer category.

Portable Bluetooth Speaker. Dads love listening to music or “the game” while they are outside doing yard work or hanging out with their buddies. Why not give dad a treat and get him a portable bluetooth speaker?
Action Sports Camera. If dad is a sporty guy and enjoys surfing, skiing, golfing, or other outdoor pursuits he would love an action sports camera. They are tough and take excellent pictures and videos.

What Does Your College Student Need?

Buying a gift for a college student can be a tricky thing to do. You don’t want to pick them out clothing that they will never wear, so maybe you should stick with electronics. Here are some things they might like from the Dealdash‘s Electronics and Computer category.

Chromebook. Most college students already have full-sized laptops to do their schoolwork. However, what if they want to do their work at the coffee shop, library, or elsewhere? A Chromebook is much lighter and easier to carry, and very affordable.
Phone Case. If you’re looking for a stocking stuffer, a phone case fits the bill. College students love their Smartphones, and protecting them stylishly is important to them.

Care For Some Tea?

Who likes tea? If you’re like 4 out of 5 Americans, then you’re at least a casual tea drinker.

You would be in good company if you agree that you like to drink tea – in 2014, Americans consumed over 80 billion servings of tea, or more than 3.60 billion gallons. About 84% of all tea consumed was Black Tea, 15% was Green Tea, and the small remaining amount was Oolong, White and Dark Tea. USA is the second largest importer of tea after Russia. As I said above, Approximately four in five consumers drink tea, with Millennials being the most likely (87% of millenniums drink tea).

On any given day, over one half of the American population drinks tea. On a regional basis, the South and Northeast have the greatest concentration of tea drinkers. As a former Southerner, I know that this fun fact is true – approximately 85% of tea consumed in America is iced.

Luckily for us tea drinkers DealDash realizes the importance of tea to Americans, and that’s why they offer up a large and varied selection of tea and tea accessories. Let’s see what we can find up for auction to satisfy your favorite tea drinker that you know.
