Can’t make it to the World’s tallest waterslide this summer? Or maybe you can, check out Verrückt at the Schlitterbahn water park in Kansas City, KS.
It’s the world’s tallest waterslide. 2-3 riders are strapped into a rubber raft and are dropped at a 60 degree, 17 story free-fall before swooping back up to a 55-foot tall Hill where riders go from 5Gs to weightlessness. The ride was officially named the World’s Tallest Waterslide by Guinness World Records.
Super fun or way too crazy/scary? Would you go down the Verrückt?
Scared of heights and/or not able to make it to the heart of the midwest to take part in the adrenaline rushing fun then turn your backyard into a waterpark with the deals you can get on DealDash.com’s auctions.

How to Sign Up for DealDash: Tips for Beginner Bidders!
You just found DealDash.com, you’re wondering what it’s all about and what you should know before you start bidding!
DealDash newbies, this is for you so listen up!
1. Register – when you first sign up for DealDash.com you will see a registration page on dealdash.com/join.
First, find out more about the site before you get started.
- Shipping is always free
“All items on DealDash come with free shipping, and are typically shipped out within 24 hours.”
- Get Bids back if you don’t win
“If you don’t win the auction you can always buy the item at a normal, fair retail price and get your bids back.”
- 90-Day money back guarantee
“If you try DealDash and find it’s not for you, we’ll refund your first purchase within 90 days. No questions asked. Simply email [email protected].”
After you register you will be taken to a bid pack purchase page. You do not have to purchase bids just yet, if you don’t want to or aren’t ready. But you can’t bid without purchasing a bid pack first! There is one bid pack for beginners, and it’s a 200 bids bid pack for $32- this would make bids $0.16 each. You can easily reload your bid balance by purchasing additional bid packs after the initial bid pack purchase. So jump in and give it a try. DealDash accepts major credit cards and PayPal for payment.
2. Familiarize yourself with the site and learn how penny auctions work.
On the homepage you will see all of the active and upcoming auctions on DealDash right now, plus 2 ended auctions and the end price. You can see more ended auctions by clicking on the “Winners” tab on the top of the page.
DealDash’s features are very different from other penny auctions.
– “No Jumpers” Notice that it says “no jumpers” on top of every auction item box. This means that no new bidders can enter the auction after the bid price has reached $5.00.
-“Buy it Now” All auctions on DealDash have “buy it now” this means that if you would like to buy an item at any time you can buy it for the stated price, which is really the retail price on many sites including Walmart and Amazon.com. You can buy an auction with buy it now even if you did not bid on the auction. The advantage to this feature is that if you have spent bids on trying to win an item and did not win you can buy it now and get all of those bids back into your bidding account and also get the item for the stated price + free shipping. Win/Win you will just have to get better or luckier and win something next time you try!
When you click on an item to see the auction if you do not have any bids in your account and are a beginner you will not be able to see the entire auction page or bid, but you will see a summary of the item and the average winning bid price for it. For instance,
-Open auctions vs. No New Bidders
Bid Now and No New Bidders –
The auctions that have a yellow bid button and say “Bid Now” are available for bidding. However, if the auction has a yellow ribbon across it stating “No New Bidders” this means the item’s “end price” has already met the $5.00 price point threshold and if you have not bid in the auction prior to this cut off point you are not eligible to bid in it.
Do I have to pay for bids when I first sign up? No, you are not obligated to pay for a bid pack when you sign up but take note that if you do put in your credit card info you will be charged the stated amount for beginner (200 bids) bid pack.
DealDash is a spin on the traditional pay to bid penny auction. It really is a penny auction, just offers features that make it better.
Timers on a penny auction site are not always definite like an eBay auction. A timer can show 2 seconds and end in 2 seconds, or time can be added and the auction prolonged once another bidder places a bid. The final end price, or the current end price, until an item ends, is increased by one penny with each bid placed. So if an item is $5.86 586 bids have been placed on the item so far by all participating bidders!
Be sure to familiarize yourself with the site and process by reading more of our tips here and by checking out the site for yourself at DealDash.com.
Good luck & happy bidding!

Pizza Stone 
If you want a perfectly baked pizza every time that tastes like a brick oven pizza be sure to pick up a pizza stone like this Pizzacraft Round 16.5-inch Pizza Stone on an upcoming DealDash.com auction. Pizza stones ensure that your pizza bakes evenly and has a uniformly browned crust. Made of cordierite. Find out when you can score deals on a pizza stone on DealDash.com. Also from Pizzacraft and available on DealDash (be sure to get alerted to one these auctions will end), is this pizza peel! 
A pizza peel is the perfect way to transfer an uncooked pizza to the oven after preparing it.
Bake your pizza in a hot oven, or try this quick and easy pizza oven – the Newwave Stone Bake Pizza Oven in Matte Black from DealDash touts the ability to cook a fresh or frozen pizza quick and easy with broil and bake options. 10 minutes to back a frozen pizza of only 5 if it’s fresh. Wow, how’s that for fast food at home?!
So gather your friends/family and get in the kitchen! What’s fun about making pizzas is if you make the dough in advance and prep the toppings everyone can get involved and make their own personal pan pizzas!
You can save a ton of money on your equipment to make pizza too if you win any of these auctions on DealDash and remember, if you don’t win you can opt to “buy it now” for the retail price and get your bids back into your account.
What do you think? Are you going to throw a pizza party? Prefer crispy pizza to doughy crusts? Here’s a personal secret: get the oven really hot – 450 degrees then place an oven safe ramekin with water in the oven to boil. Believe me, it works!
