If the original is unavailable, you have the choice of an alternative product (based on availability) or 15,000 bids.

Picasso: The Genius Behind the Masterpiece

Let’s take a moment to revel in the legacy of Pablo Picasso, the visionary artist who redefined creativity in the 20th century. Born in 1881 in lively Málaga, Spain, Picasso experienced his artistic epiphany early on. This legend wasn’t just about painting; he sculpted, printed, crafted ceramics, and even dabbled in stage design. Picasso’s avant-garde approach, a medley of cubism and surrealism, shattered norms and championed imagination.

Picasso was the kind of guy who dared to think outside the frame. His art played on bold palettes, crossed conventional lines, and encapsulated abstract beauty. With pieces like Visage No. 202, he took ceramics to new heights, transforming simple pottery into fascinating art forms.

Where Do Great Deals Come From? It Starts With DealDash Suppliers

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.

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.

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.

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.

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?

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.

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.

Seriously, Everything Must Go!

Have you ever seen a sign spinner? They’re normally spotted on the side of the road tossing a sign in the air or using it to play air guitar as they frantically try and get your attention. Sign spinners are a popular way for businesses to advertise special sales events like an inventory liquidation sale. In fact, sign spinning is such serious business, that there is a National Sign Spinning Championship!

The only problem with sign spinning is that sometimes the performance is so good, folks forget to read the sign! And while it’s true that we do not have a sign spinner yet, we do have a promotional even that you don’t want to miss; DealDash Inventory Liquidation Week! From April 6th to April 11th, you can take advantage of daily auction blasts as we clear out some of the final remaining pieces of our existing inventory and make room for exciting new items!
