Preparation for the Holidays

This is the time of year that we could sum up with one word: preparation.

Thanksgiving in 2020

We usually prepare for a traditional Thanksgiving feast that usually consists of turkey, stuffing, cranberries, baked sweet potatoes, mashed potatoes and gravy, green bean casserole, pumpkin pie, pecan pie and mincemeat pie.

Soon after that everyone would prepare for Christmas by shopping for gifts at local malls and by attending annual holiday events. I always used to attend the Victorian Country Christmas at the local fairgrounds and always bought tickets to attend my favorite live stage production of A Christmas Carol. It was so much fun to see Scrooge and the ghosts of Christmas past, present and future flying

Ever since the COVID-19 virus began to spread throughout the world in early 2020, however, this year has not been “business as usual.” To stop the spread of the virus, many of us have been ordered to stay home and are still required to remain in quarantine. All of my favorite traditional holiday celebrations have been canceled. Some states will not even allow families to enjoy Thanksgiving dinner together unless they live in the same house.

But let’s look at the bright side. One good thing about these challenging times is that even people who never before shopped online are now learning how to use the Internet and many of them have now discovered DealDash.com — a fair and honest penny-auction site where we have the opportunity to win great bargains and have fun at the same time.

Exciting New Specials

DealDash often rotates various specials but to prepare for the holidays this year, they have come up with some real doozies that you won’t want to miss. Some of the exciting, brand new specials coming up for Black Friday and Cyber Monday!

The Black Friday auctions on DealDash are 90% OFF
The Black Friday auctions on DealDash are 90% OFF.
  • 90 percent off the final auction price, where DealDash will pay 90 percent of the final winning price and the winner only has to pay 10 percent of the final winning price. What a deal!
  • Runner-up promotion, where DealDash will offer the runner-up to the winners 50 percent off the Buy-It-Now price, plus they will still get all of their bids back that they used in the auction if they choose to use BIN.
  • Black Friday Auction Blast, where DealDash will auction off 20 iPads throughout the day.
  • A brand new Tesla Model S electric car will also go up for auction.
  • The 1X to 3X time on the clock to make the green line move that much faster to the right to win free bids at the end, might go as high as 5X instead. Instead of 9 seconds on the clock, each bid placed would use 45 seconds on the clock.
  • The $5 or $3 lockout, where all new bidders are blocked from participating in the auction once the auction reaches that amount will be lowered to only $1. That means after the auction reaches $1 all new bidders will be locked out so the competition would be much lower.

As you can see, DealDash is prepared to bring an exciting end to 2020 with all of these above specials. That should really help lift our spirits because it gives us Deal Dashers some exciting auctions to look forward to. All we have to do is make sure we don’t miss it. I’ll see you there!

Maximizing Free Bids

We have many ways to earn free bids on DealDash.com but to maximize free bids we must understand where they come from and how they work.

Daily Challenge Bids

Most of the days we log in to DealDash we will see a window pop up telling us what the “Daily Challenge” is for the day. For example, the challenge for today is bid in five fashion and beauty auctions to be rewarded with 10 bids. Even if we place only one bid in five auctions in the selected category, we will receive 10 bids. That means we would be five bids ahead.

Sometimes the “Daily Challenge” for the day might disappear from our screen before we have a chance to read it. If that happens all we have to do is go to our Dashboard and click on the badges window, where the “Daily Challenge” will be listed. The most important thing to know about the “Daily Challenge” is that we must log into DealDash on a regular basis and meet the challenge to collect the reward. Some challenges are a lot easier to meet than others. If the challenge is to win two auctions that day it might not be so easy, but it’s still fun to see how many we can accomplish.

Black Friday & Cyber Monday

Shopping online can be so much a better experience than queuing at malls during Black Friday and Cyber Monday.

We might be able to get some great deals on Black Friday and Cyber Monday at shopping malls, but why not avoid the hassle of finding parking places and fighting crowds? 

How about shopping on DealDash.com instead? We can find many great gift ideas and could win some great bargains by staying home and shopping online. This is really one of the most stress-free and fun ways of shopping.

How to Find Deals

One way we can find deals is by clicking on “Winners” list and checking out the “Featured Wins” in the last 24 hours. This gives us an idea of the auctions that have recently been selling at bargain prices. The winners listed here only used from one to maybe as much as eight bids.

Little Bidders, Big Bidders

Poor little bidders and wealthy big bidders, young adults, senior citizens and people from many different ethnic backgrounds have one thing in common — they all enjoy shopping on DealDash.com.

The underdog can win on DealDash
Don’t let the big bidders bully you. Learn about your competition.

I want to focus on the poor little bidders versus the wealthy big bidders. How can the little bidders ever win over the big bidders?  Should we just duke it out?  No. Perhaps we little bidders must learn how to identify and avoid bidding in the same auctions as the wealthy big bidders. Instead we need to learn how to pick out and compete with only shoppers who are the same size or are in the same category as us poor little bidders.

In other words, anyone can win bargains on DealDash, but we must first learn who to bid with and who not to bid with. But how do we know who the wealthy big bidders are?
