This is the best place to shop for a good deal on a high-quality and beautiful watch because DealDash.com has a wide array of unique watches for both men and women.

The BIN on these watches run as low as $250 and as high as $1,795. Best of all, many shoppers are winning fantastic bargains on several of these watches.

Sometimes it might be a matter of choosing the right auction at the right time but developing a strategic plan certainly helps to put us in the winning circle. We might be very surprised when we take a close look at some of these watches and see the kind of awesome bargains some shoppers have already received:

• June 15, a rose gold women’s watch with a white strap and flower design on the face went up for auction. This watch has a BIN of $500 but it sold for $9.01 and including the cost of the 55 bids placed the winner paid a total of only $20.01.
• June 22, a men’s black watch with a large watch face and designed for traveling across time zones went up for auction. This watch has a BIN of $540 but it sold for 88 cents and including the cost of the 26 bids placed the winner paid a total of only $6.08.

• July 2, a ladies’ mother-of-pearl inlay watch went up for auction. This watch has a BIN of $1,500 but it sold for 45 cents and including the cost of the 9 bids placed the winner paid a total of only $2.02.

These examples of real bargains that real DealDash shoppers received are only scratching the surface. Many more DealDash shoppers received outstanding bargains on other watches, too. Nobody could get better deals than these by shopping anywhere else.

A brief history of watches

According to my research, a clockmaker from Nuremberg named Peter Henlein is credited with inventing the very first portable clock (watch) with a spring mechanism in the 15^th century.

Gallet & Co. is listed as the oldest watch brand in the world as they claim their origin starts in 1466, but the registered year of founding is 1826. The factory that was the origin of the Russian brand Raketa was founded in 1721, although they started to produce watches in 1949.

Digital watches display the time on a screen using electronics and analog watches use traditional hands to point out the hours and minutes, as well as seconds or additional features. A simple mechanical watch contains roughly 130 components, but the most complex watch ever produced contains 1,728 parts.

The bottom line

If other shoppers can get great bargains, we could, too.  In fact, our most fantastic deal yet could be just around the corner.

I’ll see you in the auctions.  Happy shopping everyone!

Did you see the awesome polo shirt Bargains shoppers are winning on DealDash.com?

The man in your life is sure to look sharp wearing one of these brand name polo shirts. This high-quality item is made from low-lint 100 percent luxury pearl cotton, has custom mother-of-pearl buttons and has a two-tone sleeve and collar edging.  It comes in deep navy and ocean grey.

 No wonder it has a BIN of $410 each, but several past winners got one at a bargain price.

Let’s take a look at some of the fantastic bargains some DealDash shoppers got in this auction so far:

• July 7, this polo shirt sold for $1.37 and the winner paid a total of $1.28 including the cost of the 3 bids placed;

As you can see from the above actual deals won this polo shirt just may be one of the best deals we shoppers could get. I know I would be delighted to get any one of those deals.

Head’s Up!

It’s always a good idea to read customer reviews before we start shopping, especially when it comes to an item of clothing that we plan to wear or give to a family member or friend as a gift.

According to the customer reviews for this polo shirt, while the quality and appearance received high ratings, the size did not. Sizes are S, M, L, XL and XXL but many customers said this shirt does not run true to size. In fact, several past winners mentioned that this shirt runs small so they recommend shoppers should shop for a larger size to get the right fit.

One former winner wrote: “Great Quality. I recommend a size larger. The XL fitted more like a tight medium.”

Even with the problem with the size running too small this polo shirt still received a 4.89 overall rating out of a possible 5. No doubt, that has a lot to do with the high-quality of this shirt.

Shoppers can refer to the US chest size chart provided on the auction description. If shoppers have any more questions about the size of this polo shirt I’m sure DealDash customer service would be happy to answer them.

Did you notice the beautiful 4 by 6 foot handmade rug up for auction on DealDash.com?

This 70 percent wool and 30 percent cotton handmade rug comes in a clear mountain blue with a white floral design and has a BIN of $1,600.

So far, this rug has a very high rating. Overall, it has received a 4.93 out of a possible 5.0 and it doesn’t get much better than that. Previous winners absolutely love it and that says a lot about the quality of this product.

On June 29 this rug sold for $63.79 and the winner paid a total of $539.29 including the cost of the $2,512 bids placed. Therefore, the winner got more than $1,000 off the BIN price of this rug, so that was a real bargain. Handmade rugs are not easy to come by.

A brief history of rug making

According to my research, it is believed that rug making goes back to thousands of years BC.

Nomadic tribe’s hand-wove rugs out of camel, sheep and goat hair more than 5,000 years ago. Archeologists have uncovered evidence of rugs in Egyptian and Mesopotamian tombs dating back more than 4,000 years.

The oldest known surviving rug is the Pazyryk Carpet, which dates back to 500 BC. In the late 1940s a Russian archaeologist Sergei Rudenko discovered it in the tomb of a Scythian prince in Pazyryk Valley of Siberia.

The easiest way to find out if a rug is machine-made or handmade is by checking the backside of the rugs. If you see any type of binding or surging used, then you are looking at a machine-made rug. However, if there are no stitches visible then it’s a handmade rug.

Even though we have to pay more for them, handmade rugs are better for several reasons. For one thing, handmade rugs are more durable and can last a lifetime. They are generally created with passion and creativity. An expensive rug will usually be made of high-quality wool, silk, or other natural fibers. A more moderately priced rug, however, is often made of synthetics, like polyester, olefin or nylon or even low-quality wool or natural fiber such as jute.

The bottom line

This handmade rug is just one example of the many exquisite handmade rugs that DealDash has coming up for auction, so we should keep a lookout for more rugs we might like even more. Anytime we can get a handmade rug, it is indeed something we can treasure for a long time to come.

Perhaps I will compete with you in the auctions to win this beautiful blue handmade rug.

Happy shopping everyone and may we all win the deal of a lifetime on one of the many wonderful handmade rugs on DealDash.com!
