You know the saying, “If it sounds too good to be true, then run away as fast as you can.” If a Moroccan Prince emails you out of the blue and says he is holding millions of dollars in escrow for you, then you probably should click that “delete email” button as fast as you can. The same goes for grand promises made by money managers and fly-by-night investment companies. If they promise to double your money in just days, then you probably are dealing with a classic pyramid scheme. What about DealDash? Is DealDash legit?
Be careful if something sounds too good to be true!
Some of our auctions really do seem too good to be true, but we also claim to be fair and honest. So what gives? Do customers really have the fair opportunity to win auctions for brand name merchandise for a tiny fraction of the retail price? Does DealDash deliver on the fun and savings that are promised, or is it yet another entry in a long line of things that are too good to be true?
Being a bidder on DealDash can mean a lot of things. For starters, it probably means you enjoy the thrill of a great bargain. You also probably like shopping from the comfort of your own home, on your own terms. It definitely means that you are ahead of the curve when it comes to shopping trends! But it also indicates something else: you have bids. DealDash operates on the pay-to-participate model, so you need to buy bids before you can bid in an auction. By charging a small fee for bids, DealDash is able to pass on huge savings in the auctions. Buying bids is no big deal. The bid price varies based on the active promotions, but you can often find them on sale for 15 cents per bid, or less!
Bids might be inexpensive, and they definitely help bidders grab fantastic discounts on auction wins ranging from cookware to cars, but there is something that bidders love even more than DealDash bids; free DealDash bids! And if you have spent any time on DealDash at all, you probably know of a few different ways y0u can get free bids on DealDash. For one, there is the Time as Highest Bidder Meter which gives you a free bid bonus each time you fill the meter and advance to the next level. There are also special auction types, like Leaderboard Auctions that give out free bids to the top finishers.
Free bids can make you jump for joy!
You may know about these things already, but did you know that you can schedule a call with us to chat about the DealDash experience and earn free bids? Have you heard about our YouTube Channel that releases a video each week with a challenge you can complete to earn free bids? Keep reading to learn more about these fun, lesser known ways to get complimentary bids added to your account each and every week.
We want YOU to watch our Youtube videos!
Did you know that we have an official DealDash YouTube Channel? We do, and it has been in operation for over four years! It is a great place to unwind and see DealDash customer interviews, get to know some of the DealDash Team, and participate in weekly challenges to earn free bids! Each Monday a new video is released. Each video contains a challenge for you to complete.
Make sure to subscribe to our YouTube Channel to stay informed and also to earn some free bids!
Normally the challenge is a question posed to the viewers, and you can record your answer and submit it to us by sending it to [email protected], and free bids will be yours! The videos are great fun to watch on their own, and the fact that they give you the chance to earn free bids make them all the better.
Chat with us to give feedback and get free bids
Customer feedback is a huge tool for us. It tells us what works, and what we should change. How do we solicit customer feedback? For starters, our amazing Support Team is available 24/7 to collect feedback and answer any questions that come up. We also invite auction winners to leave a review of the products they win. These product reviews help us determine what items folks like best. And yes, you get free bids for taking the time to leave us a product review. We have collected thousands upon thousands of product reviews over the years, and most folks know about them. But a much lesser-known way that we collect feedback is through customer calls. A DealDash customer call is a short interview between you the customer and a DealDash employee.
Schedule a call with DealDash today to get free bids and to share your feedback with us!
What makes these calls unique is that the DealDash employee works in a team outside of customer support. This gives the DealDash employees who normally don’t chat with customers a chance to get to know our bidders and interview them a bit about the DealDash experience. Book a Customer Call using this link, and once the call is completed, you will earn a special DealDash Customer Call badge and 100 free bids. Book a call soon – we’d love to chat with you and find another reason to give you more free bids.

This weekend is your last chance to prepare for America’s 246th birthday party. That’s right, the 4th of July is right around the corner! For those who need a gentle history lesson, the 4th of July celebrates the day the United States of America declared independence from Great Britain, on July 4th, 1776. We live in a big country, and specific 4th of July traditions might vary from state to state, but Americans all across the country generally celebrate the 4th of July the same; with fireworks, a barbeque with friends and family, and perhaps attending a local parade put on by school students and the fire department.
Grab a flag, head outside, and enjoy 4th of July weekend!
A newer tradition for some Americans is hunting for 4th of July Deals, and DealDash has you covered in that regard. Keep reading to learn more about typical 4th of July traditions and what DealDash has in store for 4th of July weekend.
Time for fireworks!
Fireworks are a huge part of a typical 4th of July celebration. In fact, Americans love fireworks so much that more than a billion dollars of fireworks are sold in the USA each year!
It just wouldn’t be the 4th of July without a fireworks show.
Depending on where you are celebrating 4th of July, you have a few different options about how to get your firework fix. One choice is to buy your own. Fireworks stands pop up in parking lots all around the country and for just a few dollars you can buy some ground blooms, Piccolo Petes, and sparklers. Just be sure to practice proper safety precautions if you decide to light off fireworks of your own. Another option is to watch a larger fireworks show. A general rule of thumb is, the bigger the city, the bigger the fireworks show! You can look at an online guide to see what’s happening in your area. You can even watch these fireworks shows on T.V.!
If it’s fireworks that you’re after, why not check out DealDash’s 4th of July Weekend sale? As you know, each time you win an auction on DealDash, you are treated to your own personal fireworks show that fills up your screen after the wining bid has been placed and the timer hits zero. DealDash is the perfect way to kill two birds with one stone by getting your favorite 4th of July deals and a fireworks show at the same time!
We want it to be fun and rewarding for our bidders during our 4th of July Weekend event, so we are adding some exciting twists to the auctions during this event, which runs from Saturday, July 2nd, to Sunday, July 3rd. For starters, on Saturday we are offering a 3X multiplier on Time As Highest Bidder progress, which means you will progress from bidder level to bidder level three times as fast! As you increase your level, watch out for milestone rewards, which offer a huge amount of free bids! We also will be offering our Runner Up Discount promotion and the auctions will have a lowered No Jumper limit of just $3, which reduces competition.
Don’t forget about Sunday!
Sunday is shaping up to be a great day for bidders, too! In addition to the 3X Time as Highest Bidder multiplier, all auctions have a 50% off discount for the auction winner. That means if you win a 4th of July deal for a final sales price of $10, you only need to pay $5. And as always, shipping is free. And last but not least, on Sunday you can earn even more free bids by bidding in Leaderboard Auctions; auctions that award free bids for being the highest bidder the longest.

And who knows, maybe it will become an important annual summer tradition, too!

No matter where you find yourself this 4th of July, we hope you have a fun and above all, safe celebration. Be sure to stay informed on local restrictions regarding fireworks, and if you’ve enjoyed a few adult beverages during a 4th of July party, put down your keys and call a taxi. We hope to see you in the auctions this weekend, and happy 4th!

We are approaching mid-June and Midsummer is almost here! That means warmer temperatures, longer days, and a great DealDash summer sale for you!
The summer solstice marks the longest day of the year. Of course, the actual length of the day depends on where you are in the world. For example, if you are celebrating the summer solstice in New York City, you can expect a day that is just over 15 hours long. If you fund yourself farther north, in Stockholm, Sweden for example, you can expect a day that is 18 hours and 30 minutes long. And if you find yourself way up north inside the arctic circle, perhaps in Rovaniemi, Finland, the day is 24 hours long! Imagine that; watching the sun move up and down in the sky and not seeing it set for months on end!
Start off the best time of year with a DealDash Summer Sale!
The summer solstice is celebrated differently in different parts of the word. In some places the day marks an occasion of mischief and superstition, while in other places, the summer solstice gives an opportunity to reflect on past violent conflicts and to wish for a peaceful future. And on DealDash, the summer solstice gives bidders the opportunity to enjoy a great summer sale complete with special promotions and discount bids. Sound interesting? Keep reading to learn more!
Different meanings in different places
The summer solstice always marks the longest day of the year, and it normally is on June 21st. However, the day itself takes on different meanings in different places and cultures.
Beautiful flower crowns are a part of many midsummer celebrations around the world.
In parts of Scandinavia and Finland, people make beautiful flower crowns to wear. This makes use of the vast amounts of wild flowers that are typically in bloom, and it also celebrates fertility. This customer is practiced by men and women alike of all ages.
Some midsummer customs take on a supernatural element. In parts of Finland, some people believe that placing birch twigs in certain parts of their home could guarantee fertility. Some folks even practiced a superstition to try and see their future spouse! To do this, they would walk outside at night and peer into a well naked!
In Northern Ireland, the summer solstice takes on an entirely different meaning. There, June 21st is called The Day of Private Reflection. It is taken as an opportunity for people to reflect on the violent domestic conflicts that have been a part of Northern Ireland’s history. People think back on the past and collectively imagine a peaceful future together. It is a relatively new holiday, having been celebrated only since 2007, but the message is an important one and here’s hoping that it is an important day of remembrance that is celebrated for centuries to come.
A great time of year to be on DealDash

A cornerstone of DealDash has been helping our customers save money. If you’ve had the chance to bid in a DealDash auction, you probably noticed significant savings in comparison to what you would typically find in a big box store or at the mall. But have you ever wondered how we do it? It all starts with our trusted network of DealDash suppliers.
Great deals start with our trusted suppliers.
Keep reading to find out all about the DealDash suppliers, how we work with them to pass savings on to you, and a special weeklong liquidation event starting soon on DealDash.
Great suppliers create a win-win-win relationship
Since 2009, we have partnered with dozens of companies from around the world to fuel the auctions that you know and love. Want to take a guess at how many items we have brought to auction with the help of our suppliers? Over 2 million! Our efforts have not gone unnoticed either as we were awarded the “Best Excess Inventory Liquidation Service – USA” award at the 9th annual award ceremony held by Global Brands Magazine.
Global Brands Magazine recognized DealDash as the Best Excess Inventory Liquidation Service in 2021.
Awards are nice, but our supplier partnerships serve a much more important purpose; obtaining a diverse product catalog that can be sold in our online auctions at far below retail prices, on average. In fact, we look at the partnerships with our suppliers as a true win-win-win scenario. Our suppliers win by being able to move large amounts of excess inventory without destroying the value of their brand. We win by having access to a variety of brands and their products from all around the world to fill our auctions win. And last but certainly not least, our customers win by being able to bid on and win these products that are often sold for a fraction of the suggested MSRP price.
A partnership that goes beyond savings
Perhaps the best part of our partnerships with the DealDash suppliers is that the benefit goes beyond a great deal. It is more important than that. For starters, we are motivated to help companies avoid having to discard and destroy unsold merchandise. The practice of destroying excess product is unfortunately all to common, and many brands have come under fire in recent years as videos showing luxury jackets being slashed or purses being burned go viral as they are shared online.
High fashion meets the landfill all too often.
The reason brands resort to destroy items is to maintain pricing power. Imagine if a luxury purse company discounted last year’s bags at 50% off the normal MSRP price. Savvy customers would take note. They would simply wait for an end of the season sale to get a great bag at a nice discount. So instead of discounting items, some brands destroy them instead. This way they don’t have to lower prices to move goods. We help them solve that problem by purchasing excess inventory from them and then auctioning it off. We never list products below the MSRP without the permission of the brand. Only the auction winner may purchase the item at the final auction price, everyone else has the option to purchase the item at the “Buy it Now” price, which is set at the MSRP unless otherwise agreed with the brand.
Don’t miss out on Inventory Liquidation Week on DealDash
June 6th to June 13th is the perfect time for you to get on DealDash. That week is Inventory Liquidation Week. Each day we run multiple auctions at the same time for featured liquidation items. We’ll also make the auctions more exciting than ever by offering big discounts on the final sales price of the auction. This means that the winner will be entitled to 50% or even 90% for select auctions. You can find Auction Leaderboards that reward bidders with free bids for collecting time as highest bidder during an auction. We will be offering our Runner-up discount to second place finishers in select auctions, too! And if all that excitement isn’t already enough, keep your eyes on the No Jumper Limit during Inventory Liquidation Week: sometimes it will be lower than the normal $5.
We hope to see you in the auctions, and thanks for being the best part of DealDash.
