Nothing is better on a cold, winter day than to take comfort in a warm and fluffy, comforter. 

The good news is that if you need some warm winter bedding, you are shopping in the right place. Many customers have already won outstanding deals on winter bedding sets on DealDash.com.

Let’s take a look at a few of the comforter sets. 

3-Piece Reversible Comforter Set

This 3-piece reversible King/Cal King comforter set, with a BIN of $130 comes in an attractive chocolate brown.

This set has a BIN of $130 and includes 1 King/California King Comforter that measures 108-inches by 94-inches, and 2 King reversible shams that measure 20-inches by 40 inches.

The best news is that many customers have already won it for much less than the $130 BIN. Some of the best deals former winners in the last 30 days got so far are:

• Sept. 22, this 3-piece King/Cal King comforter set sold at 16 cents and the winner paid a total of only 62 cents including the 3 bids used;
• Sept. 25, this comforter set sold at $1.62 and the winner paid a total of $4.22 including the cost of the 13 bids placed; and
• Oct. 12, this comforter set sold at $1.30 and the winner paid a total of $8.32 including the cost of the 40 bids placed;

One of the great features of this comforter set is that it is 100 percent hypoallergenic for allergy sufferers. It is also designed to prevent the fiber from shifting which, according to the auction description, “eliminates the need for regular fluffing.” The shams have hidden zippers that are very close to the hem line so they are small and “unobtrusive.” According to the auction description, the cover is, “made of fine-combed 100 percent imported microfiber yarns.”

Based on 422 customer reviews, this comforter set has received an overall rating of 4.85 out of a possible 5.0, which says a lot about the high-quality of this comforter set.

Full/Queen White Comforter

Some people say we cannot go wrong with a white comforter.

This Full/Queen white down fiber comforter has a BIN of $120. It includes only the comforter (no shams) and measures 92-inches by 92-inches. 

Before shopping for any auction, it’s a good idea to read the reviews by previous winners.

So far, based on 1,828 customer reviews, this comforter received an overall rating of 4.82 out of a possible 5.0. Some previous winners say this comforter is lightweight and thinner than expected, but the overall comments are fairly positive. 

Some of the best deals so far were:

• Oct. 11, this Full/Queen White Comforter sold at $1.99 and the winner paid a total of $2.39 including the cost of the 2 bids placed;
• Oct. 9, this Full/Queen White Comforter sold at only 20 cents and the winner paid a total of 40 cents including the cost of the 1 bid placed; and 
• Oct. 7, this Full/Queen White Comforter sold at $1.42 and the winner paid a total of $1.55 including the cost of the 6 bids placed.

Nobody can go wrong if they win a deal like that.

Do you know how to select winning auctions on DealDash.com?

Shoppers who just randomly start bidding on various auctions without having a particular plan in place will most likely not win many auctions. Most shoppers who win auctions on DealDash already have their winning strategies down to a science, including me. However, if I break my own rules, I will not win.

As a long-time customer who has been shopping on DealDash since February 2012, I’ve come up a list of several winning rules. I will list some of them below.

Finding ‘easy to win’ auctions

Not all auctions are alike. Some auctions are a lot easier to win than others, but we must learn how to select the “easy to win” auctions. Some of the things to look for are:

• Go to the “Winner’s List” and see which auctions have been selling for the fewest number of bids. Shopping in an auction that has been selling for the lowest number of bids might be a good place to start.
• I also look to see many other shoppers are competing in the auction? If there are more than 30 qualified shoppers in an auction, I will usually look for another auction with less competition. However, there are some exceptions to this rule. Sometimes it depends on who the other shoppers are. If I see any power shoppers competing in the auction, I will move on and find another auction, but if nearly all the other shoppers are new, I might compete, anyway, because new shoppers are usually easier to beat.
• If I see a high-dollar auction that has been consistently selling for bargain prices, it could be a good indication that it might be an “easy to win” auction.

Avoid distractions

Even when I find an “easy to win” auction, I can easily lose the auction if I allow other distractions to prevent me from paying close attention.  One of the biggest mistakes I make is that I often start shopping at the same time I’m writing these blogs. It’s never a good idea to shop when we have other distractions. I lost many auctions simply because of other distractions and interruptions.

Check out the previous winners

It often pays to check out previous winners to see how many bids they used to win the auction. If an auction has 20 previous winners and 18 of the 20 winners used 100 bids or less to win, we can get a pretty good idea how many bids we might need to win the auction.

Look for slow times

Perhaps fewer people are shopping in the auctions on certain days of the week or certain times of the day or night.

If there is a special football game many shoppers might be drawn to that instead of shopping on DealDash. Whenever that happens we could use it to our advantage to shop when the competition is lower than normal.

Some shopping features are more popular than others, too. So we could use that to our advantage, too.

The bottom line

We can usually find some auctions that are easier to win than others. All we have to do is look for them.

Happy shopping everyone!

Are you prepared for bad weather?  In some parts of the country the cold, rainy weather has already arrived.

But there’s no need to fear because DealDash.com is here. DealDash has many auctions that can keep us warm and dry on dark, wet winter days.

It is especially important to keep our feet warm and dry, so shopping for some waterproof winter boots might be a good place to start.

Did you see the ladies’ cow leather boots?

Ladies waterproof cow leather boots

Now is the time to shop for these cow leather boots before it is too late. Unfortunately, DealDash has very few of these boots left, depending on the size. When they are gone, they are gone.

These durable black cow’s leather boots with a square heel have a BIN of $690.00. They come with an elastic side panel for stretch and boot loops to make them easier to pull on. The bottom tread provides for a rugged and solid grip in slippery places.

Based on 17 product reviews so far (for size 7) these boots received an overall rating of 4.84 out of a possible 5.0. One customer complained they seemed to be hard to get on, but most customers said they fit well and are very comfortable. Perhaps how easy it is to get these boots on or off might partly depend on how wide or narrow the user’s feet are.

The best thing of all is that many past winners have already won some fantastic deals. Some of the best deals so far on Size 7 winners are:

• Sept. 26 these ladies boots sold at $1.57 and the winner paid a total of only $1.58 including the cost of the 4 bids used to win;
• Sept. 29 these ladies boots sold at $4.30 and the winner paid a total of $30.70 including the cost of the 132 bids used to win; and
• Sept. 10, these ladies boots sold at $9.80 and the winner paid a total of $48.00 including the cost of the 191 bids placed.

All of the above winners received bargain prices on these boots.

A brief history of leather boots

The oldest leather boot brand in the USA was produced by the Frye Company in 1888, but the first mass produced leather boots appeared in the 17^th Century. Thomas Pendleton produced 4,000 pairs of shoes and 600 pairs of boots for the British Army in 1642.

According to my research, 65 percent of leather comes from cows while 15 percent comes from sheep, 11 percent from pigs and 9 percent from goats. Less than 0.2 percent of leather comes from any other type of animal.

Regardless of what kind of leather today’s boots are made out of we can be sure that any boots on DealDash.com are high quality and will be sure to last a long time.

Sometimes I enjoy shopping for Fun N’ Games.

Did you see the Cornhole set outdoor game on DealDash.com?

I enjoyed playing a game like this when I was a child, but we called it something else. I think we just called it a bean bag toss. The concept was the same and it was a lot of fun.

Whenever DealDash introduces a new item, we don’t yet have any stats to go by.

This Cornhole set has a BIN of $202. It’s an excellent game to bring to a BBQ or other outdoor family reunions. The set features two solid wood tournament-size target boards for better play, and a bean bag return ramp to keep the game moving.

The 8 bean bags in two team colors can be stored between the boards. They can be attached together and carried away effortlessly.

Cornhole set outdoor game

Bring the fun to your next BBQ or tailgate with the EastPoint® Sports Legacy Bean Bag Toss! The set features 2, Solid Wood Tournament Size Target Boards for better play, and a Bean Bag Return Ramp to keep the game moving without delay!

When gameplay is complete, store your bags between the boards, attach them together, and carry away effortlessly using a durable rope carry handle. It comes complete with 8 Bean bags in two team colors. The Legacy Bean Bag Toss is sure to be a hit.

Each solid wood bean bag toss boards measure 48- inches by 24- inches and the bean bags are 6-inches by 6-inches.

Teams of players take turns throwing fabric bean bags at a hole that is cut at the far end of a raised, angled board. The players get points by either landing a bag on the board (for 1 point) or getting the bag in the hole (for 3 points).

It is a rather simple, fun game that can be enjoyed by the whole family! This makes the game very popular and beloved. Bean bag games give children opportunities to develop their gross motor skills, increase balance, and enhance directionality which is important for literacy skills.

You can warm up a bean bag in a microwave but it does not have a rotating plate, shift the bag’s contents back and forth to help distribute the heat evenly.

Like any item you heat in a microwave, your bean bag filling can burn, so never leave it unattended, and always be careful when you remove the hot pad or place it on your skin.

The bottom line

Who knows, we could be the next winner of this cornhole game.

Happy shopping, everyone!
