Don’t Miss DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale!

You’re probably familiar with the phrase, “Out with the old, and in with the new.” It’s a very popular mindset. Just pay attention to the commercials the next time you are watching TV. You’ll see ads for new types of cars, smart watches, and video games. You might even see a commercial advertising a new type of money! Most holiday sales will be featuring the newest and hottest items of the season, and we probably will too at some point this Autumn. But not this week. This week is all about the classics, the vintage, the retro. That’s right, it is DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale, and it is happening right now!

This week on DealDash, bidders can enjoy discount bid packs, a varying No Jumper Limit, special auctions like Leaderboards Auctions, and auctions for retro items, like a Playstation 1 and vintage-style home appliances!

Check out auctions for new retro items!

This week on DealDash during the Retro Revival Sale there are special auctions for great retro products that have not been available in our auctions until now.

Let’s start with video games – one of the most popular gift categories year after year. In fact, Americans have been playing more video games than ever! It is estimated that in 2021 alone, Americans spent over 51 Billion dollars on video games! In DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale, you will see several different video game systems up for auction, including one of the most popular video gaming systems of all time, the original Playstation!

Video games are a very popular holiday gift for children of all ages!

Retro items have become a very popular option for home decoration. One neat trend are items that both look vintage but also serve a purpose. You can see a few of these items this week on DealDash.

How about a classic-looking mini fridge that looks like it is straight out of the 1950’s? This item can hold up to 10 cans of your favorite drink, and its bright red and while colors will make you think you are in a vintage American soda fountain.

One item you will see on DealDash this week is a camera that blends retro style with modern technology – the best of both worlds! This camera has a vintage look, and would make a great centerpiece on a coffee table or shelf when not in use. But when it is put to the test, it can take pictures and then instantly print them! However, it is not just a replica of old-school polaroid cameras that also printed photos instantly. This camera has a companion app you can use on your smartphone to preview your pictures before you print them. You can even crop your pictures or add a stylistic border! This camera would make a great gift for a lucky friend or family member, or perhaps it would make a great gift for you!

Photography is timeless – it is always in style.

Don’t miss out on special auctions this week

In addition to the auctoins for great retro items, there is even more excitement packed into DealDash’s Retro Revival Sale. Some of our favorite special auction types are back. This week you can participate in Leaderoard Auctions that award free bids to bidders, and you will also notice that the No Jumper Limit is varying; you will see it set to different levels in different auctions. And last but certainly not least, you will find bids on sale for as low as 12 cents per bid this week.

Good taste (and great deals!) never go out of style, so we hope you enjoy our retro-themed auctions and promotions this week. Happy bidding!

It’s Time To Get Ready For Halloween!

The leaves have turned from green to beautiful shades of red and gold, and in most places, temperatures are plummeting. What does this all mean? Fall is here, so it’s time to get prepared for Halloween and to check out Eerie Liquidation Week!

Halloween is one of the most-celebrated holidays, right behind Christmas, Thanksgiving, and the 4th of July. In fact, Halloween is so popular, that almost 150 million Americans celebrate the holiday by carving a pumpkin. People celebrate in other ways, too. Some of the most popular Halloween activities include visiting corn mazes, checking out a haunted house, watching a spooky movie, and of course, getting dressed up in a Halloween costume! This year, the most popular costume ideas are a mix of timeless ideas, like being a dinosaur or ghost, and new ideas inspired by contemporary movies and T.V. shows, like Top Gun: Maverick, and Paw Patrol.

DealDash also has a Halloween tradition for you; our Eerie Liquidation Week Promotion where we offer liquidation auctions and special promotions. Best of all? You don’t have to wait until the end of October – it starts today!

Your last opportunity at liquidation items before they are gone!

A major part of the Eerie Liquidation Week promotion are the low-inventory items that are up for auction. Throughout the week you will notice that some auctions are marked with a pumpkin icon and caution tape surrounding the photo of the item. This indicates that it it is an auction for a liquidation item. If the product has fewer than 15 units in stock, on the main auction page you will even see how many units of that specific item are left! It might be just a couple or it might be ten, but be aware: this might be your last opportunity to win an auction for this item before it is gone.

If you see that one of your favorite items is marked as a liquidation auction, no need to fret. We are not reducing our product selection or partnering with fewer brands. On the contrary, DealDash has liquidation auctions to clear space in our warehouses for a new wave of brands and items that will be up for auction soon.

Less competition and more rewards

Eerie Liquidation Week isn’t just about special auctions. We also will be running our most popular promotions throughout the week, too!

When you bid this week, one of the first things you will notice is a varying no new bidders limit. The no new bidders limit (also called No Jumper Limit) is the limit when it becomes closed to additional bidders joining. Generally speaking, no new bidders may enter the auctions to bid after the bids hit the $5 mark. This week, the limit will be lowered in select auctions. How low will it be? Well, that depends on the auction. It could be $3, or it might be even lower than that. You will have to check out the auctions to see for yourself! One thing is for certain; you will want to bid in these auctions because a lower no new bidders limit means that fewer people can join a specific auction which means less competition for you.

Another promotion you will see this week is the popular Runner-Up promotion. This promotion gives you a reason to celebrate finishing second in an auction! In Runner-Up auctions second-place finishers will receive a discounted Buy It Now offer for 50% the original price.

A silver medal sits as a proud reward for second place. — Runner-up auctions offer a prize to second-place finishers.

That’s not all..

In addition to the Runner-Up Promotion, DealDash will also have increased Time-as-highest-bidder multipliers and auction winner discounts all throughout Eerie Liquidation Week. We hope to see you in the auctions and we wish you a Happy Halloween!

A Friend You Can Count On

You might think that bidding on DealDash is an individual activity, and you’d be mostly correct in thinking so. But did you know that there is a friend you can count on? A friend that helps you bid more effectively and even win auctions? Well, there is, and it’s called the BidBuddy!

If you’ve been around DealDash for more than a few auctions then you might already know about BidBuddy. It’s an automatic bidding tool that is available to DealDash bidders for each and every auction. And if you are the type of bidder who loves to multitask and participate in a few auctions at once, you have access to multiple bidbuddies; one for each auction that you are in.

Trying new things can be hard, and if you haven’t used BidBuddy before, perhaps you are wondering if it is difficult or if it requires a lot of brain power. Worry not; it’s very simple to use. Once you have chosen an auction you want to bid in, simply enter the number of bids you would like to add to the auction in the box that says “Number of Bids” and click the “Place Bids” button. It’s that easy!

Once the auction starts, the Bid Buddy will place your bids one at a time until you win or until all your bids allocated to it have been used. If you decide that this particular auction isn’t for you, or if the auction price is going too high, don’t worry, you can cancel your BidBuddy any time you like.

One great feature of the Bid Buddy is that it not only bids for you automatically, but it bids intelligently! It is designed to only bid when the auction clock is about to run out. This way, no bids are wasted. Many successful bidders rely on BidBuddy to help them win auctions and save time and money.

A sign alerts readers to keep calm and use the DealDash BidBuddy. — Do yourself a favor and rely on the Bid Buddy for some help.

BidBuddy guarantees your place

One perk that comes with using BidBuddy is our BidBuddy Guarantee rule.

The BidBuddy Guarantee is a feature that ensures all BidBuddies booked before the auction starts will be allowed to bid. This feature was introduced to make sure that everyone bidding before the No Jumper Limit could participate in the auction. Now, manual bidding before the No Jumper Limit will not exclude any BidBuddies from participating as long as they have been booked before the auction starts and have not been cancelled.

I hope this information inspires you in the auctions to try something new. Maybe you will even stop manually bidding for a bit to give BidBuddy a try. If you’re interested in reading even more tips and tricks check out the “Tactics & Tips” section on DealDash.

Is DealDash Legit? Read About Real Customer Reviews.

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?

DealDash Goes North!

DealDash launches in Canada

Next March DealDash turns thirteen! We launched in 2009, and a lot has changed since then. If you were bidding on DealDash when we first launched, you had the chance to bid on and win iPods and DVDs, among other things. Now DealDash bidders who are interested in electronics go after smartphones and laptops. Keeping with the theme of change, we have an announcement to make; we are going to Canada! Or, to put it more specifically, we went to Canada already! We launched DealDash Canada earlier this year.

Canadian flags blow in a summer breeze. — DealDash now serves the two largest countries in North America; The U.S.A. and Canada!

Get ready for international bidding

We opened our doors to Canadians in the beginning of January, 2022, and since then Canadian bidders have won hundreds of auctions. You might have already seen a DealDash Canada review posted by one of these happy auction winners, and we want to congratulate them all.

DealDash ships for free to US and Canada

Now, savvy shoppers from all over the contiguous United States and Canada (excluding Quebec) can enjoy exciting auctions that provide bigtime savings on all sorts of items. From kitchenware to new cars, you can find it on DealDash. And remember, shipping is always free! No need to pay any shipping fees or use a freight forwarding service if you are a DealDash member!

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it

There might be some longtime DealDash bidders who aren’t thrilled with the idea of DealDash changing. After all, there is the classic saying, “If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it!” One concern longtime DealDash bidders could have regarding our expansion to Canada is that now there are more bidders which would make it harder to win auctions.

The good news is that there is no need to worry because we have a simple solution; if there are more bidders then we make sure to have more auctions. We closely monitor things like the amount of bids used to win an auction and the average sales price of an item to ensure that our customers get great deals. In fact, we provide this information to you on the Auction page as the estimated total cost figure. It takes into account the final sales price of an item + the total amount of bids used to provide the amount that the win cost the auction winner.

The estimated total cost is important information that DealDash and DealDash Canada bidders should review. — We welcome our Canadian friends to our auctions while making sure that there are plenty of great deals for everyone.

Change is a constant, both in our lives and also on DealDash. But no matter what, we will make sure that while we keep making changes to improve DealDash for everyone, we will remain true to our values that have shaped the DealDash you know and love.
