DealDash Tips

Do you have a dash camera in your vehicle? If not, it might be a good idea to shop for one now.

DealDash has a 4K dash camera with a BIN of $300 and one great thing about this auction is that it has been limited to only one per customer. Since all previous winners have been eliminated, it means it is easier for more customers to win this auction.

If we are careful drivers having a dash camera in our vehicle can give us peace of mind.  In fact, by recording any traffic incident that confronts us, having a recording of what actually took place could prove the other party caused the accident and save us a lot of money.

Hopefully, we might never have to use it, but if we ever do, we will be glad we have a dash camera in our vehicle.

It is important to know that the microSD card is not included and winners must provide their own. The camera supports up to 128 GB of storage. It is recommended for winners to use an U3grade card from a well-known brand.

Key features

This dash camera provides superior night vision, and it captures our journey in 4K. This makes identifying number plates much easier.

According to the DealDash auction description this camera is “fully equipped with motion detection for automatic start/stop recording and a G-Force sensor, so should your car be involved in a collision, your files will be automatically protected.” It automatically turns on, starts recording when driving and stops when we turn the engine off.

For a detailed technical description and specifications, see the official auction descriptions.

A brief history of dash cameras

According to my research, the first recorded use of a dash camera was in the 1930s when H. C. Fairchild, of Washington DC, invented the first “windshield camera” designed to help police officers catch traffic violators. This setup had three-cameras mounted to a vehicle and took still pictures to be used as evidence. However, it was not until 1981 that Police cars started using dash cams, dashboard cameras, car DVRs, driving recorders, or event video data recorders.

According to a recent survey, 70 percent of respondents indicated they are now using dash cam technology.

I already won a dash cam camera a long time ago, so you do not have to worry about competing with me in this auction.

Happy shopping everyone!

Mother’s Day will soon be here so I looked on DealDash.com for something special that might make the perfect Mother’s Day gift.

I also looked for an “easy to win” item that shoppers could win for a fraction of the cost, and I think I found the perfect item that will keep a smile on our faces through these difficult times.

Pretty necklaces

I just noticed a lovely necklace that could make a wonderful Mother’s Day gift

I’m sure every mother has her own preference in style, but one great thing about this necklace is that if we love the pendant but not the chain we can always put it on a different chain.

I prefer a long, durable chain that is less likely to break and is long enough to fit over my head. It can be a tricky challenge to clasp a necklace behind our neck, especially as we grow older or find ourselves living alone.

Even necklaces with “easy to use” clasps can take more time. In this busy world, I prefer to have a necklace that I can quickly throw over my head and not worry about the clasp, so that’s one thing I really like about this necklace. It comes with a 25-inch gold, adjustable chain and that is long enough to easily fit over my head. At the same time, it does not hang down too low.

This necklace with a BIN of $240.00 features a sophisticated and stylish design. The pendant is made up of a brown pinewood circle on top of an olive green square in a gold frame around each. That combination could easily match and highlight many different outfits.

More of these necklaces have already been scheduled to go up for auction again so it’s not too late to get in on the action of this auction. Looking at past winners several of them have already won this necklace at bargain prices.

For example:

• On April 29 this auction sold at $1.88 and the winner paid a total of only $9.94 counting the cost of the 45 bids placed
• On April 25 this auction sold at 27 cents and the winner paid a total of 73 cents counting the cost of the 3 bids placed
• On April 19 this auction sold at $3.08 and the winner paid a total of  $3.54 counting the cost of the 10 bids placed

As you can see these DealDash shoppers all got fantastic deals, but they are not the only ones because this necklace consistently sold for much less than the BIN and so far it received a 4.64 out of 5.0 overall rating from seven past winners.

Other ‘easy to win’ gift ideas

I looked for more “easy to win” gift options and I found these two:

• Phone cases—With a BIN of $79.00 consistently sell at bargain prices
• Lip Gloss—With a BIN of $228.00 comes in a bundle of 12 in various colors and has a high 4.9 overall customer rating out of a possible 5.0.

If we keep a close watch on everything DealDash has up for auction, we will be sure to find something that will make a perfect Mother’s Day gift, but we better hurry because we’re running out of time. Of course, you could always give your mother a card with a note saying, “Your gift is on the way.”

I’ll see you in the auctions.

My plum and cherry trees have already bloomed and my Mason bees are busy pollinating them. That is the first sign in my part of the country that summer and warm weather are right around the corner. In other words, it’s time to do some warm weather shopping.

Thank goodness DealDash.com has some warm weather items that might be the perfect place to start. How about some shorts for men. After all, Father’s Day comes shortly after Mother’s Day so it might not be a bit too soon to shop for Dad, too.

Shorts for men

When shopping for the man in your life, it’s important to know what size to shop for. Thankfully, DealDash has many auctions that offer men’s shorts ranging in sizes all the way from small to XXL.

These shorts made with 4-way stretch micro polyester and fine mesh lining have a BIN of $80.00. They also come in various colors. According to the DealDash description the best part is that they are “made with premium quality material” that is “resistant to chlorine and salt water and provides protection against UV rays.” The shorts (that can also be used as swim trunks) have “a drawstring elastic waistband, two side pockets and a Velcro-fastening back pocket.”

I personally like to see men have the courage to wear bright and colorful shorts like minty lime, and pink, and with such high quality material these shorts could maintain a new and fresh look for a long time. So far, some winners have already gotten them at a bargain price, too.

• On April 30, the medium pink shorts sold for $1.20. The winner paid a total of only $7.40 including the cost of the 31 bids placed
• On April 21, the medium minty green shorts sold for $1.19. The winner paid a total of $6.59 including the cost of the 30 bids placed.
• On April 18, the large black shorts sold for 72 cents. The winner paid a total of $5.87 including the cost of the 29 bids placed.
• On April 18, the large black shorts sold for only 6 cents. The winner paid a total of 41 cents including the cost of the 2 bids placed.

Several other shoppers have already won fantastic deals on these men’s shorts, too.

The bottom line

Whoever the special man in your life may be—husband, father, brother or friend—DealDash.com is the place to shop to get high-quality gifts at bargain prices.

I hope you enjoy warmer weather and win some fantastic deals on warm-weather items.

Did you see the soft velvet hexagonal stitch throw blanket auction on DealDash.com?

I won one of those blankets and it is the softest, most cuddly blanket I ever owned. It is lightweight, made with “ultra-soft” fabrics, and I just love it.

This all-season blanket can be used as an addition to our bedspread or simply to stay warm while snuggling up on the sofa. Allergy sufferers and people with sensitive skin will also love this blanket because it is hypoallergenic and antimicrobial. I also love that it is machine washable.

Easy to Win

Many past winners have already received an incredible bargain on this blanket so it is a fairly easy auction to win. It has a BIN of $190 all but one of the previous winners won it for far less. For example:

• March 31, it sold for 88 cents and the winner paid a total of $5.88 counting the cost of the 25 bids placed
• April 1, it sold for $5.43 and the winner paid a total of $8.71 counting the cost of the 30 bids placed
• April 1, on the same day it sold for $5.50 and the winner paid a total of $$11.95 counting the cost of the 46 bids placed

A Brief History of Blankets

According to my research, Thomas Blanket (Blanquette), a Flemish weaver from Bristol, England, is credited for pioneering the first blankets made from wool in the 14^th Century. Wool provided warmth and is resistant to fire. Vintage wool blankets might now be considered collectible and have a high price tag.

Today, the term blanket is also applied to quilts, bedspreads, comforters and duvets. Comforters, however, are typically a thick, quilted and fluffy blanket. Throw blankets are smaller than most blankets because they are not sized for mattresses like bedspreads, quits and duvet covers. Instead throw blankets are intended to be more versatile and are meant to be used in any room.

George Crowley, who worked as a Navy engineer assigned to General Electric Company for World War II technical projects, invented the first electric blanket. New modern-day electric blankets are a minimal safety risk, but old, damaged or improperly used electric blankets can pose a risk for causing burns or possibly starting a fire.

It was not until 1997 that Keith Zivalich invented the weighted blanket and he sold his first blanket the following year. Since then, weighted blankets have become a global phenomenon for its ability to provide deep pressure stimulation.

Interestingly, the use of blankets serves a greater purpose than just keeping us warm at night when we have lower nightly core body temperatures. Blankets also increases the serotonin and melatonin levels in our brain which helps relax us so we can fall asleep. Our natural sleep rhythm, known as our circadian rhythm, has a huge effect on our ability to get a good night’s sleep.

Why Shop for New Blankets

If we shop for and win a new blanket on DealDash.com we can find lots of uses for our old blankets.

We can always use our old blankets for taking on camping trips or picnics. We could also use old blankets to make tote bag, curtain or make an animal bed. Of course, we could also cut up old blankets to use for dust rags or wash rags to clean our vehicles.

Blankets are always something we can use or give to someone as a gift.
