Question: What are No Exchange auctions on DealDash.com? 

Answer: They are auctions where the exchange to bids option is removed and the winner of these auctions will have no choice but to receive the auction product they win.

Inventory Liquidation Week will begin Wednesday, Jan. 19 and will run through Saturday, Jan. 22.  During this time, the “Liquidation Blasts” will be for items DealDash wants to get moving out of their warehouse.

In other words, if you bid on auction products with the idea that you just intend to exchange the auction item for bids, the Inventory Liquidation Week event would not work for you because you will not be able to do that.

However, it may be the best time for other DealDash customers to shop for two reasons:

1. It might be our best opportunity to shop for and win products that are being liquidated, and
2. It could be easier to win the product when shoppers who just want to do a bid exchange will not compete.

The “Liquidation Blast” events will take place at the following times:

• Jan. 19 – 8 a.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
• Jan. 20 – 8 a.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
• Jan. 21 – 8 a.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
• Jan. 22 – 12 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.
• Jan. 23 – 12 p.m., 3 p.m. and 5 p.m.

During these times bid exchanges will not be available.

In addition, other DealDash features will include:

• Jan. 19 – 50 percent off, plus 2X time as highest bidder and BIN discounts
• Jan. 20 – 50 percent off and BIN discounts
• Jan. 21 – 50 percent off, plus 2X time as highest bidder and BIN discounts
• Jan. 22 – 90 percent off, plus 3X time as highest bidder and BIN discounts
• Jan. 23 – 90 percent off and BIN discounts.

Inventory Liquidation Week

As you can see, the Inventory Liquidation Week will offer many great features that could benefit us in more ways than one.

If we like getting 90 percent off on the final sales price in the auctions, we will not want to miss shopping during those features.

If we are getting close to collecting our free bids, we will want to take full advantage of the 2X and especially the 3X time as highest bidder on the clock.

Regardless of what feature we most want to take advantage of shopping during the Inventory Liquidation Week will no doubt be one of our most fun and interesting five days of shopping.  Therefore, if we have any friends who have not yet shopped on DealDash.com now is an excellent time to invite them to join.

I’ll see you all there!

Before placing bids on various products on DealDash.com do you ever read the product reviews first?

Actually, it’s a good idea to read the product reviews before we shop because we can learn a lot from what previous winners have to say about it.

Some things we can learn from the reviews are:

• Did previous winners like it (why or why not)?
• If it’s a clothing item or shoes, was the size just right or did it run too small or too big?
• How long did the product take to ship?
• Was the item packed well and arrive in good shape?

All of these things are important to know. By doing our homework before shopping, we can save ourselves from the time and effort of returning items that do not fit properly. At the same time we can save the customer service representatives from having to solve problems that could have and should have been easily prevented in the first place.

Of course, DealDash customer service representatives are always more than willing to help us solve any problems with the products we win or order. However, as responsible shoppers we should do our part by using all of the information available to us.

Of course, DealDash provides excellent and very detailed descriptions of its auction products. Therefore, we may think that’s all the information we need to have a happy shopping experience. However, that may not be enough. Reading the product reviews from previous customers who won or ordered the product often gives us additional information that could be very helpful.

Let me give you some examples:

• Size 8 Duck Boots –. Looking at the customer reviews, one customer wrote: “Looked at other reviews before getting them and saw that they run small. It’s true. I got a size bigger and they are snug. I do like them a lot and I’m happy I ordered them but remember to order a size bigger.”
• Size L/XL Yellow Unisex Raincoat – Looking at the customer reviews, one customer wrote: “I love this jacket. It runs a little large.” Another customer agreed, writing, “Super big!” So that tells us a lot about the size. Yet another customer wrote, “What a great coat! It is supple and extremely well made. I’m impressed with it! Better than I expected!” So this tells us a lot about the quality of the raincoat.
• King set of White Sheets – Looking at the customer reviews, first I see that these sheets received an overall rating of 4.94 out of a possible 5.0 and this is an extremely high rating after 40 customer reviews. So that tells us a lot about the high-quality of this set of sheets. One customer wrote, “Soft and smooth, breathe well and sleep cool.” That tells us even more about the quality of these sheets. Another customer agrees by saying, “This whole set is amazing. I had previously won just the duvet and I love it …”

Bottom Line

Taking a few minutes to read customer reviews before we start shopping can really pay off in big dividends for us as customers as well as the DealDash customer support team.

Perhaps we could make that one of our New Year’s resolutions to be diligent and responsible shoppers by reading all of the information available to us. I’m sure that would give us a happy shopping experience throughout 2022.

Here’s a question for you: What’s a household chore most of us must do nearly every day? The answer? Vacuum. Now, name one tool that could make this job a lot easier?

If our response to that question is a robotic self-cleaning or cordless vacuum cleaner, we are shopping in the right place because DealDash.com auctions offer both, and even more.

I’ve had my eyes on shopping for a cordless vacuum for a long time because that would make cleaning my two flights of stairs a lot easier. Otherwise, I need a really long cord to reach the electrical socket in my wall and the cord keeps getting in the way.

As I get older, I need to think more about safety. A light-weight cordless vacuum would be better so I don’t trip on the cord and fall down the stairs.

Let’s take a look at some of the vacuums that DealDash has to offer.

Cordless Vacuum

DealDash has a cordless vacuum with a BIN of $550.00 but all 12 of the most recent winners got it for amazing bargain prices. In fact, one DealDash shopper won this cordless vacuum on Dec. 21, 2021, for a total cost of only $8.55 (including the cost of the 38 bids the winner placed).

We could never find a bargain like that on a brand new rechargeable cordless vacuum at any department store. For more information, go to the upper right of the home page, do a search for “cordless vacuum” and read all about it.

Robotic Self-Cleaning Vacuum

DealDash has a robotic self-cleaning vacuum cleaner that has a BIN of $591.00 but one previous winner got it for $32.17 (including the cost of the 77 bids placed). In spite of the fact that this robotic self-cleaning vacuum is a popular item and usually draws plenty of competition, many other shoppers won it at a bargain price below market value, too.

During my younger days, I never could have dreamed that such a revolutionary vacuum would ever exist. According to the DealDash description, this vacuum “can navigate the home while keeping track of where it has been and where it has yet to clean. It will even clean continuously for up to 75 minutes, then recharges and resumes cleaning until the job is done.” Amazingly, it even has “cliff detect sensors” that prevents it from “falling down stairs or tumbling over drop offs.”

DealDash has another Robotic Self-Cleaning Vacuum with a BIN of $210.00 and this one sold for as little as $9.95 (counting the cost of the 16 bids the winner placed).

To find out when the next robotic self-cleaning vacuums will go up for auction, conduct a search from the home page. You can also go to the auctions to read a more detailed description of the many features that are too numerous to include here.

Both of the Robotic Self-Cleaning vacuums received an overall high rating by previous winners. After reading these descriptions I may want to get one of these vacuums, too. 

Canister Vacuum Cleaner

DealDash also has a Canister Vacuum Cleaner with a BIN of $320.00 but on Jan. 1, 2022, one shopper won it for only $4.11 (counting the 20 bids placed to win it).

At only 8.8 pounds this is a light-weight Canister Vacuum Cleaner. It comes with a 16.4-foot cord and three cleaning attachments – floor nozzle, crevice tool and upholstery brush. One of the greatest features of this vacuum is that it comes with “no extra costs” because it uses “bagless technology and (has a) fully washable canister.” This could be a real budget saver.

To choose the right vacuum for your household, go to the auction to read the full DealDash descriptions. Also, do not forget to read the customer reviews.

Bottom Line

With all of the awesome vacuum cleaners available on DealDash.com I hope we all get off to a clean sweep and a clean start in the New Year!

Did you make a New Year’s Resolution? My New Year’s Resolution is to get a good night’s sleep for better health. What better way to do that than to sleep on luxury soft sheets and comfortable pillows?

January is usually the best month of the year to shop for new bedding. That’s when major department stores usually put bedding on sale. However, if you want some new high-quality luxury sheets, comforters, blankets or pillows DealDash.com is the best place to shop.

Besides finding bedding in a wide variety of brands and sizes (twin, full, queen and king) many DealDash shoppers won awesome bargains on new bedding, including me.

Let’s take a look at some examples:

Luxury sheets

• A midnight blue queen-size sheet set is made of 100 percent brushed microfiber and consists of a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two queen pillow cases. Again, 9 of the last 10 winners received an awesome bargain. This set has a BIN of $170 but one winner got it for as little as $2.03 (counting the cost of bids), and another winner got it for only $2.41 (counting the cost of bids). We could never get a deal like that if we shopped in a regular department store.
• A gray full-size checkered embossed sheet set is made from 100 percent imported 95 GSM microfiber and includes a fitted sheet, a flat sheet and two standard pillow cases.  So far, the last five times this sheet set has gone up for auction five times and all five previous winners won it for less than the BIN of $90. In fact, one winner got it for only $3.81 (counting the cost of the 4 bids used). Of the 18 reviews received so far, this sheet set received an overall rating of 4.93 out of a possible 5.0.

Comforters

• A reversible Full/Queen-size comforter set (with a BIN of $130) is now up for auction. Looking at the last 10 winners (as of the time of this writing), 9 of the 10 won this comforter set at a huge discount. In fact, one winner got it for only $7.61 (counting the cost of bid) and another DealDash customer won it for only $8.51 (counting the cost of bids). Thirty customers gave this comforter set an overall rating of 4.9 out of a possible 5.0, which is exceptionally high. We could not get much better than that.
• A white super plush down fiber comforter in King/CalKing has a BIN of $120. However, it recently sold for as low as $30.79 (counting the cost of bids). This all-season down-alternative comforter has a light-weight shell which provides exceptional softness and drape but it is evenly-filled for superior warmth. Another great feature is that it is hypoallergenic so it is perfect for allergy sufferers. This 108-inch by 94-inch comforter has received a whopping 2,810 reviews from former winners and earned an overall rating of 4.81 out of a possible 5.0. That confirms it is a high-quality product.

Pillows

Have you ever tried sleeping on a memory foam pillow? DealDash frequently offers these pillows for auction. These pillows have a BIN of $410 but out of the last 10 winners all 10 of them won this pillow for much less. In fact, on Dec. 30, 2021, a shopper won it for a total of $2.04 (including the cost of the 8 bids used to win it). We sure cannot find a bargain like that in any department store.

Easy to win

As we can see from some of the many incredible bargains past winners received these bedding auctions might also be some of the easiest auctions to win.

For more details read the auction descriptions. We could also shop for an “8-Piece Bed in a Bag” auction and/or other linen-bundle options. DealDash even has mattresses and mattress toppers. Therefore, we need not look elsewhere for our bedding needs.

Happy New Year and I hope we all win many more DealDash auctions in 2022!
