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.

Let’s Work Together To Help a Noble Cause

The holidays should be the happiest time of the year. A time where people can come together to create special moments as the stress of everyday life fades away. Unfortunately, not everyone experiences the holidays this way. How can someone worry about what New Year’s party to attend when their home was destroyed by a natural disaster?

Sometimes it’s too easy to forget about the struggles that others are facing. In an effort to try and make the Holiday Season as good as it can be for those going through tough times, we are working with the American Red Cross to assist those in need. And we want you to help by participating in a very special promotion this Thursday.

DealDash will donate the fnal sum of all auction wins (excluding car auctions) that are paid for on December 15th to the American Red Cross. This means that you can donate to a very special cause simply by bidding and winning as you normally do. Just pay for your wins on December 15th and we will take care of the rest.

More about the American Red Cross

There are many charities that offer help American’s in need. In fact, DealDash has offered special promotions in the past that donate to charity. Last year, we donated to the Firehouse Subs Public Safety Foundation which gives gear and equipment to firehouses and response teams.

This year, we are proud to be able to help the American Red Cross in their mission. If you are not familiar with the values of the American Red Cross, their mission statement is worth reading. To summarize, the American Red Cross follows a set of values that they call the “Five Cs”: Compassionate, Credible, Collaborative, Committed, and Creative.

They are compassionate in serving those in need and treating them with care and respect.

They are credible in that they act with integrity and are transparent.

They are collaborative by partnering with outside organizatoins and companies, and embracing diversity and inclusiveness.

They are committed to holding themselves accountable and delivering on their mission.

And lastly, they are creative in seeking out new ways to serve those in need.

These are inspiring values that we here at DealDash are proud to contribute to. And we sincerely hope that you will join us in our mission this year to help the American Red Cross.

So remember, DealDash is donating the entire sum of all auction wins paid for this Thursday (excluding car auctions) to the American Red Cross.

Pay for your auction wins on Thursday, December 15th, to help donate.

The Biggest Holiday Week of the Year

Today marks the start of a special week for Americans. It’s the week where you can watch giant floats of your favorite cartoon characters march through the streets of New York in the annual Macy’s Parade. It’s the week where an estimated 46 million turkeys are eaten across the USA. And last but not least, it’s the week where over 140 million Americans wake up early and go battle the crowds as most businesses hold their largest sales events of the year.

If you haven’t figured it out yet, it’s Thanksgiving and Black Friday Week!

A bountiful thanksgiving dinner sits on a table.
From all your friends here at DealDash, we wish you a Happy Thanksgiving!

You probably have a good idea about how to celebrate Thanksgiving; the main star of the day should be food. Turkey, mashed potatoes, carrot casarol , stuffing, bread rolls, and pumpkin pie…these are the familiar culinary staples that grace most American tables on Thanksgiving day. Apart from the food, there are other annual Thanksgiving traditions too. The Detroit Lions and Dallas Cowboys have been playing football games on Thanksgiving day since 1934! The link between Thanksgiving and Football is so deep, that once the New York Herald Newspaper called Thanksgiving the official holiday for watching football.

But what about Black Friday? How should you be celebrating the massive shopping day that takes place the Friday immediately after Thanksgiving? It’s obvious that you will be shopping, but where? What are the best Black Friday traditions? If you ask us, there is no need for you to wake up early, drive all around town and battle crowds this Black Friday. Instead, sleep in, have a leisurely breakfast, and go shopping from the comfort of your own home on DealDash!

This Year we have put together a Black Friday Sale that is the shopping event of the year! And best of all, unlike most stores that limit their Black Friday events to a single day, our Black Friday Sale is lasts all week!

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!

A bright image of a man holding a boom box shows that retro style is new and cool again!

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.

What would you keep in a retro mini fridge?

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.

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.
