As DealDash customers we already know this is a fun way to shop, so why stop? Whenever we have bad snow blizzards, the good news is that we can always shop from the comfort of our own homes. Why go out in the cold and risk driving on slippery roads. We can stay warm and save the cost of gas at the same time.

By having our own gift box at  home, we can be prepared for any event at any time. So why not have fun shopping every day to see what exciting items DealDash has to offer.

Diaper Bag

Did you see the durable and roomy leather diaper bag up for auction on DealDash.com? 

January 21, this leather diaper bag with a BIN of $500 sold at only $1 and the winner paid a total of $6 including the cost of the 25 bids placed. Imagine how excited that DealDash shopper was to win a huge bargain like that! 

This is the “ultimate” diaper bag.  This durable “environmentally-friendly vegan leather bag comes in brown and grey. It’s a perfect size and the many compartments also makes it convenient. The dimensions of this bag are 13 by 13-inches and 5.9 inches in height. 

According to the DealDash auction description, it features: 

• 2 thermo-insulated side pockets to keep baby bottles warm:
• Multiple different sized pockets with secure zips and buttons;
• extra detachable bottle holder with handy top carry loop; 
• Matching foldable baby change mat; 
• Stand-lone carry pouch to store extra wipes or easy-access items and additional straps to secure to a buggy, or to carry cross body. 

After receiving 53 ratings from previous winners, this bag received rave reviews with an overall rating of 4.89 out of a possible 5.0. That speaks volumes for its high-quality. One previous winner said she gave this diaper bag to her niece at a baby shower and here niece “loves the quality and size of the diaper bag”… because it “Fits all the necessities a new mom and baby need.” For more detailed information about this diaper bag, see the auction description.

A bit of history

In the early 1970s when my sons were born, most babies still wore cloth diapers and many mothers 

simply used plastic bags to carry clean diapers and another to have a place to carry the dirty ones. 

Disposable diapers were just coming out, but most young mothers on a tight budget only used the disposable diapers when traveling. I believe the first diaper bags came out a few years later. But the diaper bags on DealDash are very useful gifts. So if you just had or will soon have a new grandchild, you might want to give a diaper bag to the child’s mother. A gift like this will be greatly appreciated and it will get plenty of use.

The bottom line

DealDash frequently adds new products, so it’s a good idea to check every day to make sure we do not miss anything. 

Happy shopping everyone!

Did you see the lovable plush toys up for auction on DealDash.com?

Most children adore soft, cuddly stuffed animals, but I learned some adults like them, too.

Whether we are shopping for our children or grandchildren, nieces or nephews or even an adult who wants to hang onto wonderful childhood memories, DealDash has an auction for you.

A friendly Sloth

A friendly sloth with a BIN of $145 appears to be surprisingly popular. 

It measures 85 cm or 33.4646 inches. In other words, this plush toy is huge. Most previous winners say this plush sloth is larger than expected, but very cute.  In fact, one of the winners said it measures 32-inches by 32-inches by 12-inches. This “friendly sloth” is made out of super soft polyester and the exterior is “in warm brown and beige tones. 

Some of the best deals so far were:

• Jan. 2, this plush sloth sold at 9 cents and the winner paid a total of only 64 cents including the cost of the  3 bids placed;
• Dec. 23, the plush sloth sold at $3.37 and the winner paid a total of $11.37 including the cost of the 40 bids placed; and
• Dec. 20, the plush sloth” sold at $3.65 and the winner paid a total of $10.85 including the cost of the 36 bids placed.

After 330 reviews, winning shoppers gave this sloth an overall rating of 4.87 out of a possible 5.0.

A terrific Triceratops

Jane the Triceratops has a BIN of $95. It’s created as a feisty, fun-loving character. This dinosaur  has a soft, snugly nose and measures 16-inches by 7-inches-by 8-inches. 

One special feature is t hat Jane the Triceratops comes with a sweet poem to be read to children.

So far, based on 226 customer reviews, Jane the Triceratops received an overall rating of 4.93 out of a possible 5.0 and that says a lot about customer satisfaction.

Some of the best deals former winners got so far were:

• Jan. 5, Jane the Triceratops sold at 62 cents and the winner paid a total of $3.15 including the cost of the 15 bids placed; 
• Jan. 9, this plush toy sold at $1.65 and the winner paid a total of $11.85 including the cost of the 51 bids placed; and

Eadgar the Duck

This adorable Eadgar the Duck, has a BIN of $135 but the last time it went up for auction on Dec. 23, it sold at $6.27 and the winner paid a total of $21.47 including the cost of the 76 bids placed.

According to the DealDash description, this 12-inch by 6-inch by 7-inch duck was created to have a playful, funny face. The outer shell is 100 percent polyester and it’s stuffed with 10 percent polyester and 90 percent gravel. That’s probably why it weighs 3.31 pounds and is heavier than expected. One special feature is that this duck has a detachable fabric that can be machine washed.

So far, based on 127 reviews, Eadgar the Duck has received an overall rating of 4.94 out of a possible 5.0. Previous winners commented on how adorable this duck is and how Eadgar is heavier than expected. Perhaps this toy duck could even be used as a door stop, too.

While we are checking out the above plush toys, we cannot miss the gigantic brown bear with a BIN of $175 and white bear with a BIN of $280. 

Happy shopping everyone!

If you have not been shopping on DealDash.com for a while, I hope you check it out again so you don’t miss out on this exciting liquidation sale. 

This means it’s time to eliminate some of the old auction items to make room for some new auction items. It also means that some of these items included in this liquidation sale will soon run out of stock so we will not have the opportunity to shop for them again. 

Let’s take a look at some of the auction products we might want to shop for before they are all gone.

Sweatshirts

DealDash now has several men’s and women’s sweatshirts up for auction. They come in various sizes: small, medium, large and extra large. The women’s sweatshirts are pink and are sold only one at a time.  Most of the men’s sweatshirts come in black, but some are gray, and they are auctioned off in singles, doubles and triples. 

The women’s sweatshirts received an overall rating of 4.83 out of 5.0. A few former winners described  this sweatshirt as “way to big” and “huge” so we might want to take that into consideration.  If we are looking for an easy win, however, this might be a great auction to bid on because it has been consistently selling at low prices. As of this writing, the last five times this sweatshirt went up for auction it sold at: 89 cents, 77 cents, 13 cents, 30 cents and 26 cents. We couldn’t get better deals than that.

The men’s sweatshirts received an overall rating of 5.0 out of 5.0.  The rating cannot get better than that. All of the reviews on the men’s sweatshirts indicates they absolutely love them. Some previous winners commented that they were nice and warm. The men’s fleece sweatshirts have been consistently selling low, also. The last four times the auction consisted of sets of two sweatshirts sold at:  $1.59; $3.39; $3.14 and $1.84. Now that’s a very good bargain!

Light Fixture (Set of 8)

Part of the DealDash liquidation auctions includes a set of 8 dimmable 3000 K LED Flush Mount Square Puff Lights. This auction  has a BIN of $204. 

This auction item also appears to be an easy win. The final bid price in the last five auctions were: 32 cents, $1.61; $7.04; $2.15; and $14.89. Perhaps we could install all new matching light fixtures in our home, or we could keep one or two for ourselves and give the rest away as gifts to family members and/or friends.

These light fixture must be hardwired , and according to the DealDash description they are, “designed to replace outdated round fluorescent flush mount fixtures.” 

The dimensions are 13 (L) by 13 (W) by 3/3/5 (H). The voltage is 120, watts is 25 and the lifespan is 35,000 hours. They come with a dimming feature, but they must have a corresponding dimming switch installed. The finish is white.

Above are just a few examples of the exciting liquidation auctions. Not only that, but as of this writing, the winners receive a 75 percent discount from the final cost of the auction, and that’s a huge advantage.

Hope to see you in these auctions!

If you are a tea drinker you might want to shop for one of the exotic tea sets now up for auction on DealDash.com.

Tea parties are not only fun for children. If you win one of the many fantastic tea sets from DealDash you might enjoy inviting a group of your friends over for tea. Don’t you think that would be great fun?

Here we are now well into the New Year of 2024 already. Whoever said, “Time is like a roll of toilet paper – the closer we get to the end, the faster it goes” is right. I remember when I was in first grade thinking it would take forever for me to get to my senior year, and it did seem like time went by so slowly during that part of my life. After I graduated and got out on my own, it felt like the years went by much faster. Before I knew it, I had become a senior citizen and I wonder how I got here so quickly. Sadly, as the years fly by, we often get so busy that we neglect to connect with our family and friends as often as we should. 

Why wait for the holidays to get together again? What better New Year’s resolution could we make than making a bigger effort to invite our family and friends over more often for a relaxing afternoon of tea.

Awesome Tea Sets

Recently, I noticed some awesome tea sets up for auction on DealDash with a BIN of $850.  Each ceramic dishwasher-safe set includes 1 tea pot (8-inches in length by 5 1/2-inches wide by 5-inches in height), 4 tea cups (3-inches in diameter by 2 3/4-inches in height) and 4 saucers (5 1/2-inches in diameter). Each set has a matching pattern. The teapot holds 27 ounces, and each cup holds 6.75 ounces. It might sound like a lot of money for a set of 4, but these tea sets are offered in different unique designs that we do not see anywhere else. 

According to the DealDash description, one “striking design” is “a kaleidoscope of blues” in a “contemporary Geometric pattern.” Another “Botanic design” showcases “the graceful flutters of our feathered friends,” providing “a sense of motion and serenity amidst the floating florets of the dandelion.” Another “Olive design” reflects the “evergreen tree which lives for thousands of years” reflecting a comforting feeling of solace and “evoking a sense of calm with its soothing olive green, tangerine and sea blue hues.”

These tea set patterns brought back many fond memories when my late husband who went on a military tour to Greece brought back a gorgeous tea set that had an intricate gold design. I still have half of the original set. When my late mother visited and saw my tea set, she loved it so much that I gave her half of my 8-pieces set. She valued that set so much that she even got special permission to bring it with her to the nursing home, where she prominently displayed the set in a little glass case in her small  room. My mother kept that tea set with her to enjoy until she passed away at 93. I never regretted giving her half of my tea set because it meant so much to her. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that are valued the most.

Some of the best bargains DealDash shoppers won so far were:

• Dec. 30, the blue Geometric tea set sold at $2.96 and the winner paid a total of $7.16 including the cost of the 21 bids placed; 
• Jan. 1, the Botanic tea set sold at only 28 cents and the winner paid a total of $2.23 including the 11 bids placed; and 
• Jan. 4, the Olive tea set sold for only 31 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.71 including the cost of the 7 bids placed.

Would you or any other loved one in your life enjoy having a special tea set like the ones on DealDash? Imagine how good it would feel to give it to someone who would value it as much as my mother valued hers. Perhaps you could win the next great deal.
