The Easter holiday stems from a lot of tradition…religious tradition in Christianiy it’s the celebration of the resurrection of Jesus. In Western Christianity/Catholocism,  Easter marks the end of lent, a 40-day period of fasting/repentation.  In ancient times, on the other end of the spectrum, some history points to Easter dating back to the time of the Babylonians who celebrated the moon and sun-god dieties and  fertility goddess Astarte/Ishtar. The history is pretty interesting, if you’re into that kind of thing.
Did you know where the easter bunny came from? The Easter Bunny is a fantasty character depicted as a rabbit who brings easter eggs. Dating back to early Lutherants in Germany, the Easter Bunny acted as a judge, determining whether or not children were good or bad. The Easter Bunny legend basically held that the Easter Bunny carried colorful eggs in his basket, candy and sometimes toys and brings them to children (sort of like the Santa Clause tale).
The long-standing tradition surrounding Easter now in the US for secular/religious people alike, is that parents/friends/loved ones would decorate and fill colorful baskets full of candies and gifts and gift them to their friends or children on Easter. Easter egg hunts, plastic easter eggs filled with goodies for parents to hide for children is also a popular Easter tradition.
If you celebrate Easter and love filling up goody baskets for your children or grandchildren, or anyone else you care about, you should really check out these goodies for auction this week in DealDash’s penny auctions:

They’re happy, bright and fresh – not too vibrant like the hot summer sun, but just enough to evoke a happy smile on your face after a long, dreary, cold winter. Hopefully this wasn’t the case for you, but here it’s April 4th and I had to scrape ice and snow off my car, but that’s beside the point!

How to Rack Up More Free Bids: Time As Highest Bidder Explained

Is your bids balance getting low? Right now DealDash is running an awesome Easter Promo and bids are $0.16 each, but want better?
Did you know that you can earn free bids by being the highest bidder?
DealDash’s Time As Highest Bidder Explained!
Earn Free Bids
When you are the highest bidder, in any auction, you will earn time towards your next level. When you reach a new level you will start to receive free bids. What’s even better is the more levels you reach, the more bids you get!
Look on the bottom of any page on DealDash.com – you’ll see a status meter on the very bottom, it’s to the right of your name and bid count and shows your current level and your time as the highest bidder.
You are the highest bidder every time you are the highest/unopposed bidder in an auction – the time you were the highest bidder gets calculated and is displayed next to the meter. The time in the countdown clock is the amount of time you need to reach the next level. When the Claim Bids button is activated you can click claim bids and reach the next level.
Check out this helpful diagram from the very helpful Tactics & Tips page on DealDash.com:

The levels go from 0-well, right now Level 70 is probably the highest level anyone has made it so far.. but say you were on level 28, you’d get 300 free bids, level 29 would get you
500 free bids!

The first level requires just 60 seconds of being the highest bidder to claim 1 free bid.
time as highest bidder
When’s the best time to get more free bids by being the highest bidder?
I would suggest you try bidding during the early morning, or late at night. There might be less competition (or maybe other bidders are just tired) causing them to click the bid button more often.
Or, you could just click bid now and bid over anyone who outbids you. Some may think you’re crazy, but for some this is a strategy to win too. By clicking bid again and again each time someone else bids you really cancel out anyone elses’ bid, they may grow frustrated and quit, or confuse other bidders who decide not to bid against you.
