A Brave New Bidding World

The one constant to life is change.

This famous quote, uttered by Greek philosopher Heraclitus, touches on the fluid nature of things. Change is happening all the time and is all around us! Bob Dylan shared this sentiment in his hit, The times they are a-Changing, a song recorded sixty years ago in 1963 that still resonates today.

Change can be exciting, but what if you are one of the many people who natually resists change? If this is the case, no need to worry. Some scientists state that being resistant to change is natural, and quite common! In fact, our brains might even be hardwired for it.

Small hands hold up wooden blocks spelling out the word, new.
New types of DealDash auctions are just around the corner.

You probably are wondering why the DealDash Blog is talking about ancient Greek philosphers and Bob Dylan. Well, as you might have guessed by now, DealDash is changing things up in a big way!

Don’t worry, our low prices, great deals, and awesome product selection will remain the same. However, without further ado, it is time to introduce some of the big changes that might soon become your favorite part of DealDash.

Overload Auctions

Overload auctions are one of the new kinds of auctions launching on DealDash.

In auctions marked with the Overload icon, you can only book a maximum of 100 bids to the auction at any given time. You can top up your booked bids as often as you like, assuming you have less than 100 bids booked to the auction. If you try booking more than 100 bids to the auction, 100 bids are added, but the rest of the bids are left in your account.

How will Overload auctions change your bidding strategy? Only one way to find out; look for the icon indicating an Overload Auction (pictued above) and see for yourself!

Triple Booked Auctions

DealDash will be launching a new group of auctions; Triple-booked auctions. This new class of auctions could also change your bidding strategy in a big way.

You can only participate in three auctions marked with the Triple-Booked icon simultaneously. You can place single bids in as many Triple-Booked Auctions as you want, given that you have bids booked in two or fewer Triple-Booked Auctions. Once you have bids booked in three auctions, you can only bid in other Triple-Booked auctions if you cancel the bids booked in one auction. Placing single bids in Triple-Booked auctions where you have bids booked is possible. Participating in the Triple-Booked Auctions does not affect the number of regular auctions you can participate in.

Triple-booked auctions and Overload auctions are just a couple of many new kids of auctions that you will see soon on DealDash.

A more rewarding experience than ever!

It’s not just the auctions that are changing. We are introducing new ways to collect rewards! These new features will not replace the rewards you already love, like Time as Highest Bidder, and Daily Challenges. Instead, they are an added bonus to the things you already love.

Progress Meter

Meet the Progress Meter, one of the newest ways to earn more rewards. The progress meter can be found on the event page when there is an ongoing event or on the Rewards and Challenges page.

To get rewards from the progress meter, you need to complete challenges that give you progress points as the reward. Read carefully – some of the challenges might take more than one day to complete!

Event leaderboards and new rewards challenges make it a thrilling time to be on DealDash.

Event Leaderboards

Some events use a site-wide leaderboard to give rewards depending on where you are placed when the event ends. This is separate from the regular Auction leaderboards, so don’t get mixed up! 

Leaderboards use points to rank bidders, and you can collect points in different ways depending on the event. For example, some leaderboard events count the number of bids placed in the event auctions, and others the total time as the highest bidder.

You can claim your rewards from the Progress Meter or Leaderboards after the event. Don’t worry: If you leave the rewards unclaimed, they can be claimed on your Coupons & Gift Cards page.

With all of these changes, you might have some questions! If so, do not hesitate to reach out to our amazing Support Team. They are available 24/7, and are happy to help during this time of amazing change!

Happy bidding, and we hope one of these changes becomes your new favorite part of DealDash.

Find Deep Deals During the DealDash Inventory Liquidation Sale

Some people see an inventory liquidation sale and they assume it’s a bad thing. They may think that the reason to liquidate inventory is because a business is going out of business, or the products being sold are unpopular. After all, why would a store dramatically lower prices to sell everything if business was booming? What would you think if you had the chance to participate in an inventory liquidation sale for great items from a reputable, established business?

Signs in a store window advertise a sales event where everything must go.
You might see signs like this around town during a liquidation sale.

If that sounds good to you, you’re in luck! DealDash’s Inventory Liquidation Week is right around the corner with a great opportunity to strike deals on the items you love at discounts that most stores can’t compete with. And before you worry, our Liquidation Sale is for purely positive reasons.

We’re clearing out our warehouse to make room for our new batch of your future favorite items. So many new brands and items are on the way that a one day liquidation sale would not work. Even a weekend sale would be too short. So to guarantee we have enough room all the new items and brands, we’ve pulled out all the stops and are offering a week-long liquidation event!

Get these deals before they disappear forever!

DealDash’s Inventory Liquidation Week begins on Monday, September 13th and run through Sunday, September, 19th. There are auction blasts planned for each day of the sale. The auction blasts will feature dozens of auctions starting at the same time. This makes winning easier because it spreads the competition around over multiple auctions. Here at DealDash we do not believe in doing things halfway, so we’re not simply having auction blasts once a day. We will have them three times per day, starting at 12pm, 3pm and 5pm Pacific Time!

Get your auctioneers’ gavel ready because the auctions are coming fast and furious during Inventory Liquidation Week!

During Inventory Liquidation Week you will see auction blasts for items ranging from deluxe steam irons to help you look your best, to premium gold-accented china dinner plates which will give you a taste of the high life. There will be deep discounts on items to help you live your best life.

The perfect compliment to our inventory liquidation sale

If you’ve spent any time on DealDash, you know that we’re about more than just amazing deals. We also provide the most exhilarating and rewarding shopping experience around (in our humble opinion). During our inventory liquidation sale, we also will have a few special twists on the DealDash auctions you already know and love. The first major feature you will see is a number of No Exchange Auctions during the evening time. The name is pretty self-explanatory: These offer wins cannot be exchanged into bids. Instead, the winner will receive the item that they won.

Give yourself a reason to jump for joy during our Inventory Liquidation Sale!

There’s also a special challenge active this week. Win auctions marked with the Inventory Liquidation icon to get great rewards!

We’re also introducing 5 new Inventory Liquidation special bid packs. Winning these bid pack auctions also counts towards progress in the challenge.

We also have arranged for the final sales price of an auction to be discounted by up to 90% off on some days, giving you yet another reason to pull out your phone and get into a DealDash auction. We hope you love our liquidation deals that are coming up, and happy bidding!

If you are new to DealDash or the bidding fee online auction model and want to give it a try, use the promo code “dealdash2021” upon registration to get an extra 100 free bids with your first Bid Pack purchase.
