From the Bottom of Our Hearts….Thank You for Your Service.

The 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month in 1918 marked a monumental moment in history; the end of World War I. This was the hour when Armistice between the Allied Forces and Germany took effect which ended all major hostilities of World War I. November 11th was known as Armistice Day until 1954, when it was renamed Veterans Day. As we approach Veterans Day this year, we want to take a moment to appreciate the selfless sacrifice that the members of the United States Armed Forces make. Thank you for your service.

If you know anyone who has served, thank them for their service this Veterans Day.

This year, millions of folks will be celebrating Veterans Day. There are over 1.4 million members of the United States Armed Forces currently, and Veterans Day honors all members of the Armed Forces, past and present. This raises the total number of Veterans in the united states to almost 20 million, according to research conducted by the Department of Veterans Affairs.

A day full of tradition

Veterans Day pays respect to those who have served. On Veterans Day, you can choose how you wish to say thank you for your service. Some folks give flowers or baked goods to their neighbors or family members who have served. Other Americans choose to donate to charities that support Veterans, like the Fisher House Foundation – a group that builds comfort housing where Veterans can stay for free.

Parades are a popular way to celebrate Veterans Day.

No matter how you choose to say thank you for your service, some Veterans Day traditions cannot be skipped. For one, the American Flag should always be flown at half mast on Veterans Day. There is also a two minute period of silence that begins at 11 AM. Some schools choose to close on Veterans Day, while others remain open. And if you intend to go to the grocery store or use public transit, be sure to check the schedule first; many businesses and public services operate on holiday schedules and reduced hours on Veterans day.

Late Night Deals Ahead

Nothing good happens after 2:00 AM. At least, that’s what a character on the mega-popular sitcom How I Met Your Mother said. The rule was based on the idea that decisions you make after two in the morning tend to be the wrong ones. The belief that late night spells trouble is something that you might have encountered in your working life. Have you ever had to work the night shift? If so, you’ve probably heard the term graveyard shift. This has nothing to do with headstones or monsters in the cemetery. It earned its name due to the high amount of disasters that happen between midnight and 4:00 AM.

A neon that reads, 'never close' indicates that a business is always open.
Some businesses are always open for the night owls who like to stay up late.

It can get a bit dangerous when the sun sets, and sometimes our decision-making skills deteriorate if we are tired, and especially if we are passing the late-night hours at a bar or night club with a drink or three. It’s understandable if you choose to spend the late-night hours tucked in bed, but DealDash has a new promotion that you might want to stay up for. So grab a cup of coffee and stay up late so you don’t miss our Late Night Deals (+Day Time Savings) Promotion!

Calling all night owls

This weekend, June 5th and 6th, you will be able to stay up late and find great late night deals on DealDash. From midnight to 4:00 AM PST (3:00 AM-7:00AM EST) we are launching several promotions and auction blasts just for our late night bidders. To start with, there will be an extra Time as Highest Bidder multiplier active on both nights which will help you progress through the bidding levels faster to earn more free bids.

We also have made the auctions easier to win by reducing the No Jumper Limit down to just $3. Less competition means there will be fewer bidders competing for the late night deals you are trying to win. And that’s not all! We are going to celebrate second place by activating the Runner Up Discount for many auctions starting during the weekend. For example, let’s say you came in second place in an auction for a purse auction. After the auction ends, you will receive a discounted Buy It Now offer for 50% the original price. 

A silver medal attached to a colorful ribbon lies on a table and is  a handsome reward for finishing second.
The Runner-Up Discount awards a discounted Buy It Now price to the second-place bidder in select auctions.

Night owls who manage to win any auction during our Late Night Deals Promotion will also earn a personal +1 Time as Highest Bidder multiplier for 3 hours. Reach the next level and free bids even faster! This can be earned both Saturday and Sunday!

Rock (and bid!) around the clock for late night deals

Some of us choose to set with the sun and go to bed early. It takes a lot for us to stay up past 10:00 PM, let alone all the way past midnight, when the Late Night Deals promotion begins. To reward the determined bidders who do stay up to take part this weekend, we have some special auctions planned. To start with, there will be special bid packs each night. These bid packs come in two sizes: 200 and 400 bids and are auctioned only during the night time.

We also want to pay tribute to insomniacs everywhere by auctioning off a deluxe coffee machine! This auction is a late night deal that all caffeine lovers will want, and it begins Sunday, 3:00 AM PST (6:00 AM EST).

Finally, we have not forgotten about those of you who like to go to bed early. We have something planned this weekend for our daytime bidders, too. The $3 No Jumper Limit and Runner Up Discount will run for 24 hours each day. No matter your preferred bidding time, the Late Night Deals Promotion has you covered.

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.

Let’s Make a Deal!

Deals are important. When you’re lucky enough to find one, you save money and feel good! The history of the word ‘deal’ dates back to the 1800s and is defined as a business transaction that is mutually beneficial. That sounds pretty good, right? It’s no wonder why Americans are deal crazy. The TV show Let’s Make A Deal has been around since 1963, and in recent years, the show Deal Or No Deal has become a global phenomenon. You probably love a good deal too. After all, you are reading DealDash’s deal blog.

Great deals for kids of all ages!

If you have kids, then you probably have stepped on a Lego block or two. Most parents have Lego blocks scattered around every room in their house. Legos are a timeless toy that entertains, educates, and promotes creativity. One DealDasher placed 81 bids (20¢ each) and won a Lego City Passenger Train set for the final price of $10.33! The set normally sells for $166 at DealDash, so this is a steal of a deal, worthy of the deal blog. But that’s not all! This specific auction was a part of the 50% Auction Wins promotions, so the winner only paid $5.16 for this win + $16.20 for the bids. Remember, no hidden costs and shipping is always free!
