LEGO is Awesome! Here's How to Get Deals on LEGO Sets!

lego kitchen counters — This LEGO kitchen center island is proof positive that big kids can play with LEGOs too! Source TheCoolHunter.net.

LEGO has to be the best toy in the world.LEGO is fun and useful. If you love LEGO and want to save money on new sets you may be able to get them by checking out the auctions on DealDash.com! LEGOs were great even before the LEGO Movie, a very 1984-dystopian tale, which features a lonely Lego builder who always followed the rules and was brainwashed by society and “Big Brother,” who in the role of The LEGO Movie is “Lord Business,” the all-powerful leader, who hated chaos and demanded order and control from his subjects. Go see it. It’s actually got a rating of nearly 100% by RottenTomatoes.com!

Think you’re too old to play with LEGO? There are practical uses of LEGO for big kids!

(You’re never too old!). Check out Mashable’s great article on 11 Ways Lego Can Organize Your Life. Tutorials on how to make a nifty toothbrush holder, magnets, key chains, a belt, planter, wall clock and more!
For a cute/quirky tale read this article about how 5 millions pieces of LEGOs fell off a shipping container at see and still washes up on shores in England. Oh btw- the pieces are sea-themed. Publicity stunt or accident? Either way I think it’d be fun to uncover under-the-sea LEGOs while beachcombing.

LEGO sets can be expensive, but here’s how you can save money and get great deals!

Whether you want to organize your life with LEGO or just get off of Facebook and online games and play (even if you don’t have kids! but if you do, they definitely need old fashioned toys like LEGO!), you should check out these auctions on DealDash for LEGO sets, and remember, if you don’t win it BIN it!

Early this morning, or late Friday night bidders got some really good deals! If you can’t sleep or you’re naturally a night owl, bidding late at night just may be a great way to win awesome items on DealDash.
One DealDash’s bidding tip that we’d like to impart to you echoes this:

“What i have learned is bidding early in the morning or late at night has better odds of winning— the competition is not as fierce.”-Barbara.

+6 Tips for Bidding Better on DealDash!

1. Like I just said – bid early! All of the above deals were had early at wee hours of the night.

Auctions run all night/day so be sure to catch one when there may be less competition/traffic.

2. Only bid on the items on DealDash that you need or want

Bid on items that you either really want or need and would go to the store and buy anyway because you can always use buy it now.

3. Use buy it now!

If you spent a lot of $ on bids and haven’t won, buy it now using the buy now button on the auction page and get all of the bids you placed back into you account.

4. Pay Attention

In the middle of the night, especially, you could get tired and end up missing out on an easy/great deal. Be sure you are focused. Get a coffee/energy drink or favorite drink & snack to stay awake!

5. Use the Bid Buddy!

The Bid Buddy is really your buddy! You can save bids and money. Just don’t chance it by leaving your reaction time to chance (you really could miss out and let another bidder win if you didn’t click bid fast enough and the timer hits 1-0- ended.

6. Keep Track of Win Limits

It’s easy to keep track of your win limits by watching the win limit bar for your profile once you are logged into your account. Just be sure you plan accordingly and only go for items you want and need because you can only win so many each week!
