I am amazed when I see some of the high-dollar bargains shoppers get on DealDash.com and it is so exciting to see the fireworks when we least expect it. 

I’m especially surprised when I see products with a BIN of more than $2,000 to $3,000 that sometimes sell for less than $100.

If you are new to this DealDash shopping site, you probably think, “no way” but people really do get such awesome deals.

Let’s take a look at a few of the high-dollar bargains shoppers have already gotten.

Rabbit Fur Coat

DealDash has a fur coat auction with a BIN of $2,752.

This coat provides excellent insulation. The 100 percent rabbit fur exterior is lightweight but warm, durable and glamorous. The lining is 100 percent polyester. Special features are a hidden adjustable drawstring at the waist so we can choose to wear a form-fitting style or choose to wear it loose and the tortoiseshell buttons are elegant.

Some of the best deals shoppers got on this high-dollar coat so far are:

• March 2, this fur coat sold for $73.30 and the winner paid a total of $94.30 including the cost of the 105 bids placed;
• Feb. 26, this fur coat sold for $2.29 and the winner paid a total of only $8.49 including the cost of the 31 bids placed; and
• Feb. 24, this fur coat sold for $12.30 and the winner paid a total of $71.07 including the cost of the 340 bids placed.

Where else could anyone get better deals than this for such an exquisitely designed new rabbit fur coat?

Pocket Watch

Did you see the pocket watch with a BIN of $1,600?

It is not too early to shop for a Father’s Day and most men would truly appreciate receiving a stunning pocket watch like this. A gift like this might even be handed down for many generations to come.

This pocket watch is made with durability, reliability and elegance in mind. It is encased in a durable 18/8 stainless steel silver Hunter housing, crown, bow and chain. The dial has Roman numerals, and features Japanese movement.

So far, some of the best deals winners have received are:

• March 3, this pocket watch sold for only $3.11 and the winner paid a total of $12.98 including the cost of the 61 bids placed;
• Feb. 28, this watch sold for $4.39 and the winner paid a total of $25.59 including the cost of the 106 bids placed;
• Feb. 26, this watch sold for $4.53 and the winner paid $24.73 including the cost of the 101 bids placed;
• Feb. 21, this watch sold for only $2.16 and the winner paid a total of $4.08 including the cost of the 15 bids placed and ( the best deal of all is):
• Feb. 20, this watch sold for 23 cents and the winner paid a total of 71 cents including the cost of the 3 bids placed.

The bottom line

As we can see, even high-dollar auctions will often sell well below the BIN — not just once, but several times. That tells me that anyone could win some of these amazing deals. Why not me or you, too?

Did you know we could bake a pizza in only 60-seconds flat? 

Wow! When I read that, I could hardly wait to read more about the new gas powered pizza oven DealDash.com now has up for auction.

This pizza oven has a BIN of $629 and from the auction description listed on DealDash it sounds like it is worth every dollar because this auction actually includes more than the gas powered pizza over itself. It also includes a 33-piece set/case of everything anyone would need to use it to barbecue, too.

Many of us live busy lives and time is precious, so having a pizza oven that can “fire out jaw-dropping pizzas in 60-seconds flat” is pretty awesome. Another thing that impresses me about this pizza over is that “no assembly” is required. This pizza oven is “ready right out of the box.” All we have to do is “open the foldable legs, insert the stone baking board, and connect it to a gas tank.” It features “instant gas ignition” and can reach temperatures up to 950 degrees F. (500 degrees C), and be ready to cook in 15 minutes. We can then use the “heat control dial to cook pizza in just 60 seconds.” It can also be used to roast fish, vegetables and steaks. I really like getting products that I do not have to put together because I would probably have to pay somebody to do it for me.

With spring around the corner, we might be soon planning some outdoor BBQ fun with family members, neighbors and/or friends for various social gatherings. With this gas powered pizza oven we will have every utensil we need and then some. This set includes:

• A salt cellar and pepper pot
• Corncob holders
• Six steak knives and six steak forks
• An 18-inch BBQ knife
• An 18-inch grill scraper
• An 18-inch slotted turner,
• An 18 ½ inch small brush
• An 18 ½ inch meat fork
• 18 ½ inch tongs
• Six 18 ½ inch skewers and
• A carrying case.

According to the DealDash description, “Cooking outdoors with gas has never been so simple (or so beautiful)” with “no mess, no fuss.” I don’t know how it’s possible, but this pizza oven apparently has “no need to clean up fuel residue after cooking!”

Sometimes space can be a problem but this pizza oven only weighs 20.4 pounds and it easily fits in any outdoor space. It has a “Commercial grade cold-rolled carbon steel shell with high-temperature resistant, powder-coated finish.” A large propane tank is usually used with barbecues but it is also compatible with 1-pound propane tanks with an adaptor. It is not compatible with natural gas.

A brief history of pizza

Raffaele Esposito, a baker from Naples, Italy, is often given credit for making the first pizza pie. However, historians note that street vendors in Naples sold flatbreads with toppings for many years before then. Pizza was brought to America by Italian immigrants in the late 19^th century.

In 1905 in New York City, Gennardo Lombardi is credited with developing the first pizzeria parlor in the United States.

Today, Americans love pizza. About 350 slices of pizza are consumed every second in the United States. That is equivalent to 21,000 slices a minute and about 100 acres of pizza a day.

Do you think one of your children or grandchildren might one day pursue a career to become a doctor, scientist or lab technician? Perhaps one of the best ways to ignite a child’s interest in one of these careers would be to gift them a microscope because it is an excellent scientific teaching tool.

Once children get a close look at various specimens under a microscope we never know what great things that might lead them to do in their future.

DealDash has a microscope with a BIN of $200 with a magnification up to 300 times and the high-quality, 5G lens is perfect for home or commercial use. According to the auction description, it can be used for “laboratory research, medical analysis, plant dissection and/or examination, jewelry inspection, printing inspection and more.” It comes with a height adjustable stand and calibration software. This microscope also comes with a user guide and software CD.

Best of all, several past winners have already received an awesome deal on it. Let’s look at some of them:

• Feb. 21, this microscope sold at 40 cents and the winner paid a total of $2.20 including the cost of the 10 bids placed;
• Feb. 22, this microscope sold at $3.05 and the winner paid a total of $23.05 including the cost of the 100 bids placed;
• Feb. 20, this microscope sold at $59.54 and the winner paid a total of $28.75 including the cost of the 114 bids placed.

For more product specifications, see the auction listing.

A brief history of microscopes

Every major field of science has benefited from the use of some form of microscope, an invention that dates back to the late 16^th century and Zacharias Janssen, a modest Dutch eyeglass maker.

According to my research, the most significant event in the history of microscopes took place in 1676, when living cells were first seen.

• Antoni van Leeuwenhoek (1632-1723) has been recognized as the “father of microscopy.”
• Carl Zeiss, a German engineer, revolutionized the quality of lenses in the 19^th century.
• The smallest object observed through a light microscope was 500 nanometers long.
• In 2008 the Team 0.5 debuted. It is the world’s most powerful transmission electron microscope.
• The first microscopes was called occhiolino (little eye), but Giovanni Faber coined the name microscope for the compound microscope Galileo submitted.
• The use of microscopes in dentistry has become quite popular since the late 1980s.
• July 18, 2018, Hans and Zacharias Jansen, Dutch brothers, are most commonly credited with inventing the compound microscope.

The bottom line

Many children would love to check things out in a microscope, and DealDash might be the best place to shop for one.
