DealDash Photography Tips for Bids

You don’t have to be a professional photographer to get free bids from DealDash. But here are some tips to take better pictures.

Getting free bids on DealDash is easy and fun – all you have to do is take a picture of yourself and the item and send it in to DealDash. I’ll give more detailed instructions down below, but for now, here are some tips from DealDash to take better-looking pictures. After all, these pictures are posted on Facebook for others to see, don’t you want to look your best?

Take your picture outside in the sunlight. You’ll look better with natural lighting, and there will be more light to showcase your item.
Smile! Come on, this isn’t chores, it’s fun! Show those pearly whites off and flash your best smile for the camera.
If you can get someone else to take your picture it will probably turn out better, but if you’re taking your picture solo, see if you can use the timer feature on your camera.
Keep it simple. You don’t need to stage anything elaborate, just you and the DealDash win in the picture is perfect.
Make sure that you hold the camera steady when you take the picture. It will look so much more sharp and clear when you hold it steady.
Look directly at the camera when you’re taking the picture. Try not to blink.
Take a few pictures in a row. There’s a much higher chance of getting a good picture if you take 3 or 4 than if you just take one.

Now that you’ve read the tips, are you ready to take pictures of your DealDash winnings? Here are the full instructions describing how to get free bids from DealDash using your picture that you just took.Here’s how:

After you have taken your photo of you and your DealDash win head on over to the DealDash Facebook page which is here, and “Like” it.

DealDash Tips for Hockey Lovers

If you or your family loves hockey then it’s your lucky day. Here are some DealDash tips for hockey lovers.

Being originally from the south, hockey mystified me. My closest hockey experience until I moved up north was watching that old movie The Mighty Ducks. Now that I live in New England hockey makes a little more sense to me. People here in Boston love the Boston Bruins, and while I don’t claim to know a lot about the finer points of hockey, it sure is fun to go to a game! Here are some fun facts about hockey from DealDash that I hope you enjoy.

Did you know that up until 1974 goalies didn’t wear face masks? This is extremely dangerous, the fastest ever recorded shot in NHL history was clocked at 108.8 miles per hour by Zdeno Chara of the Boston Bruins. This would explain why people normally think hockey players and missing teeth go hand in hand.

This next fact is a sad one – Detroit Red Wings fans throw octopus onto the ice for good luck. The story of the Octopus originates in 1952 when a Detroit Red Wings fan threw an octopus onto the ice rink. Their team went on to win eight straight games to win the championship, making the symbolic correlation with the eight tentacles of an octopus. This might be good luck for the Detroit Red Wings, but definitely not for the poor octopus!

Did you know that there are actually three Stanley Cups? The original Cup was made in 1892, which is on display at the Hockey Hall of Fame – it’s only 7 inches tall! The Presentation Cup, which is the one that you are probably the most familiar with, it’s the cup that goes on tour, and that you see the players skate with; and lastly, an official replica of the Presentation Cup, which is displayed at the Hockey Hall of Fame when the Presentation Cup is elsewhere.

If you have a child that’s interested in hockey, great! Playing hockey is great exercise, and healthy for the body as long as safety equipment is worn. If your child is interested in hockey but you don’t live anywhere near an ice rink try street hockey!

Here’s another fun fact – DealDash carries hockey-related merchandise! DealDash has autographed hockey pucks, autographed hockey sticks, hockey jerseys, and hockey video games. If you’re a big hockey fan you should head on over to DealDash and pick up some hockey items. Visit DealDash now. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!

DealDash Christmas Tips to WIN!

Merry Christmas everyone! I’m sure by this time you and your family have already opened open your presents and had a lovely day. Now let’s get back to DealDash!

How was your day? I hope that it was full of family, friends, and delicious food. Did you get all of the presents that you asked for from Santa? If not, maybe it’s time to get back to DealDash and win those coveted items that you are yearning to have. Here are some tips from DealDash for getting back into the auctions if you have taken a few days (or weeks!) off for the holidays.

If you’ve taken some time off from DealDash because you were busy with holiday preparations, you probably need to replenish your stock of bids. Well, today is a very good day to buy bids. Today only, bids are for sale on DealDash for only 12 cents!!! This is the absolute lowest price that I have ever seen bids, so it is an excellent time to stock up on bids for the upcoming days, weeks, or even months depending on how many you are planning to buy. I would definitely suggest that you purchase your bids soon, though, because on days that bids are priced so cheaply they tend to sell out by the end of the night. Click here to go to DealDash to buy .12 bids.

Another thing that you should take advantage of today is free auction wins. It’s true! Any auction that starts today will have a final auction price of .01 (for payment processing), no matter how high the auction price goes – even if it goes to hundreds of dollars, you will just pay .01 if you are the winner. This is good for all auctions that start today, even if the auction lasts through the night and into tomorrow. As long as you start bidding on an auction with the price crossed out and the words “Free” it will be .01 no matter when it ends. Isn’t that an awesome deal?! You can get some really great deals if you are able to win with only a few bids – which definitely happens! Look through the “Winners” tab at the top to see what people are winning, and at what price.

I hope that you have found this DealDash Tips blog helpful. I hope that you and your family had an amazing Christmas! Feel free to write your favorite Christmas moments in the comments, I’d love to read them. Go check out the .12 bids and the free wins on DealDash. DealDash has everything you need to complete your holiday. Visit DealDash now! Merry Christmas from DealDash!

DealDash Tips to Enjoy Christmas Eve

Happy Christmas Eve everyone! Here are some tips from DealDash to enjoy your evening.

I hope that you’re having a lovely Christmas Eve so far this afternoon and that everything is merry and bright for you. I certainly hope that you have gotten all of your shopping, wrapping, and mailing out of presents done and that Christmas Eve can be all about relaxing with your family. Here are some tips from DealDash for enjoying your Christmas Eve.

Forget cooking! Who wants to spend Christmas Eve in the kitchen cooking and cleaning up? Order some Chinese food, pizza, sandwiches, or whatever your family likes. Use paper plates to minimize the clean up. If you really enjoy cooking, then do something simple such as using that slow cooker that you won from DealDash and get the whole family to pitch in when it’s time to clean up.

Caroling. Many churches do Christmas caroling on Christmas Eve, and you don’t necessarily need to be a member of the church to join in. Check the website of a few local churches to see if they are doing caroling tonight. We went caroling every year with the church on Christmas Eve when I was little and it was a lot of fun.

Christmas Lights. My favorite Christmas Eve tradition is driving around after it got dark and looking at Christmas lights. Luckily when I was a kid the neighborhood right across from mine held an annual Christmas light contest, so there were always some outrageous light displays to look at when I was little.

PJs. It’s so much fun to open a present on Christmas Eve, and in my family (and many others!) the present is usually new PJs, or maybe a robe or slippers for the grown ups. PJs are a great present to open on Christmas Eve, it’s nice to have new, soft PJs to wear, but they aren’t such an exciting present that kids would want to stay up and play with them like they would a fun new toy.

Hot cocoa. Hot cocoa for everyone is a delicious tradition, which is extra nice when paired with a fire in the fireplace and someone in the family reading Christmas stories aloud. If no one in your family is fond of reading out loud, then you can drink your hot cocoa while watching a Christmas movie, instead.

I hope that you and your family have a wonderful Christmas Eve! When you have some spare time after the kids go to bed, be sure to visit DealDash. DealDash has great items for your whole family. Visit DealDash now to see how much you can save. Good luck and happy bidding everyone!
