A cool and Green New Way to Get Around!

Did you see the new electric moped going up for auction for the first time on DealDash.com?

This e-moped has a BIN of $2,298.00 so new bidders will not be locked out until this item reaches $50.00. Therefore, even if you did not see it until now, you still might have the opportunity to get into this auction.

Say goodbye to the high cost of gas, air pollution and traffic jams. If you don’t live too far from work, it might be a perfect alternative to travel on nice-weather days as long as you do not have to drive on an Interstate or highway. Mopeds are usually street legal on all public roads other than highways, but it’s best to check your state laws.

A selection of cartoon mopeds and riders are displayed to show how fun it is to ride a moped!
Mopeds aren’t just fun, they are great for the environment, too!

This e-moped can go up to 38 miles on a single battery charge and can reach up to 19.8 mph. The fastest mopeds can go up to 40 mph. The rechargeable battery, which is included, is a built-in 48V 20AH lead acid battery and it can fully charge the moped in 10 hours.

In California, riding a moped requires both valid registration and an M1 or M2 license. If you’re a one-car family this e-moped could be a perfect second mode of travel to run nearby errands and make juggling one vehicle a little easier.

The riding comfort might surprise you because it comes with front and rear hydraulic shock absorbers, turn signals, headlights, rearview mirrors, a horn, a remote control, built-in alarm and locking storage compartment. For more details, see the description in the auction listing.

As a 74-year-old grandma living in a metropolitan area, I cannot see myself riding on a moped. However, with all these bells and whistles, if I lived in a small-town rural area I might want to try it. In fact, in some rural areas the home mailbox is sometimes located at the end of a very long dirt or gravel road. In that case, riding a moped might be an excellent way to pick up the daily mail.

History of MOPEDS

According to my research online, the first motorized scooter for adults was developed in 1913 and patented in 1916 by inventor Arthur Hugo Cecil Gibson. The first commercially created motorized scooter was produced in New York in 1916 and was called the Autoped. It was the first mass-produced gasoline-powered scooter on the market.

The four largest motorcycle markets in the world are in China, India, Indonesia and Vietnam. India is home to the largest number of motorized two wheelers in the world and now has an estimated 37 million motorcycles and mopeds.

It is not clear if the acronym MOPED stands for Motorized Pedestrian, Motorized Pedicycle or Motor or Pedal Power.

MOPED can also stand for Ministry of Planning and Economic Development.

Bottom Line

I’m sure you can think of lots of different uses for a new e-moped like this, so make sure you get your bids in before you get locked out when this auction reaches the $50.00 “No New Bidders” limit.

You just might be the winner!

Why You Should Shop for New Showerheads

Did you see all the new showerheads going up for auction on DealDash.com?

Now DealDash has a variety of new showerheads that frequently go up for auction and some of the closing prices show that customers have been able to win some awesome bargains on the sales price, too. For example, one showerhead that has a BIN of $252.00 sold several times for less than $5.00. However, according to my research, winning a great bargain is not the only reason we should shop for a new showerhead.

Most people might not know it, but showerheads should be replaced every 6 to 8 months or about twice a year, especially if we live in a hard-water area. This is because they often get overly covered with sediment. One sign we might need to replace our showerhead is when we notice a change in water pressure or the water starts shooting out in all directions. That could mean the holes in our showerhead are clogged with minerals. Although we could clean an old showerhead by detaching it and soaking it in vinegar, it might be better to simply replace it with a new one.

Treat yourself by upgrading your showerhead ASAP!

Some additional reasons to shop for replacement showerheads are:

  • Showerheads can have a build-up of black mold and become a breeding ground for bacteria that can cause respiratory illnesses.
  • Upgrading our showerhead could save us money on our energy and water bills.
  • A laboratory-tested showerhead could relieve our body from stresses so getting a new shower head could relieve backaches, headaches or taut shoulders.
  • Some modern showerheads have technological features that enable them to maximize water pressure and minimize the amount of water use.
  • It could save us the embarrassment of having guests over and see our shower look outdated.
  • We might want to change our fixed showerheads with a more flexible handheld one, and we may even need shower seats to go with it.

Replacing Old Showerheads

We might be able to replace old showerheads ourselves with a little help. If we go online we can find a YouTube video on “How to Change a Shower Arm and Showerhead.” Otherwise, we could hire a handyman or professional plumber to do the job for us.

Some of the showerheads being auctioned off on DealDash might require a new shower arm that is not included. Before shopping for a new showerhead, it could be a good idea to contact a DealDash customer service representative who will be able to answer the questions we may have about the product and what it does or does not include. If the showerhead does not come with a shower arm that goes with it, we might have to go out to buy one before we can install the showerhead we win on DealDash.

According to my online research, “almost any shower head manufactured in the United States will fit on the shower arm installed in your bathroom” but we might need to purchase a new shower arm that extends out from the bathroom wall more than the old one did.  We might also want to buy some plumber’s tape from our local hardware store. It’s usually not necessary to turn off the water to the house when we replace our old showerhead, but we should definitely keep the shower faucet off while we do this.

A quick and easy way to see all of the showerheads coming up for auction on DealDash is to do a search. Then you can choose one you like best and click on the “Alert Me” button so you don’t miss it the next time it goes up for auction.

I hope you win a new showerhead on DealDash that gives you a new lease on life like a warm gentle rain.

Shopping for Women’s Bags

Are you looking for the perfect bag (purse)? If so, you are shopping in the right place because DealDash.com usually offers a wide variety of bags to meet any need. I’m not sure if bag, purse and tote are interchangeable terms but to me they all mean about the same thing – the bag women take with them to hold their “go everywhere” items like money, keys, makeup and other essentials whenever they leave home.

A new bag always makes a nice gift because many women change purses as often as they change shoes. Perhaps you are shopping for a birthday or Christmas gift for your daughter, daughter-in-law, granddaughter or a friend. I won a bag that I gave to a friend for her birthday about five years ago and she still uses it as her main “go to” bag. Fortunately, I knew what kind of bag my friend would like. She said it’s the most practical and durable purse she has ever had.

A sleek handbag is always in style.

One thing I know nearly every woman looks for when shopping for a bag is a shoulder strap that either comes already attached to the bag or one that can be attached (hooked on) to the bag. Why? When we can throw our bag over our shoulder it leaves both of our hands free to shop with more vigor so we can spend more money. Isn’t that a good thing?  All kidding aside, most women, especially those who have young children with them, often need to have both hands free. Having a bag with a shoulder strap makes that possible, and many bags on DealDash do come with that option.

Other things women look for when shopping for bags are:

  • Style: Many women want their bag to have the right design, look and feel.  
  • Color: Most of us women want to have a variety of purses in different colors so we can match the color of our purse with whatever we are wearing. However, not all women can afford to have several bags, especially expensive bags. Women who can only afford one bag usually shop for a basic black purse because that works well with nearly anything we are wearing.
  • Durability: Most women want to find a bag that is well made and will not easily fall apart, so the materials it’s made out of might be very important to us.
  • Size: Most of us want our purse to be a specific size – not too small to hold certain items and not too large or too heavy if we have to carry our bag around for a long time.
  • Organization: Many of us want plenty of pockets inside and outside of our purse to make it easy to organize and quickly locate our cell phone, wallet, house keys, ID cards, airline tickets, sunglasses, comb and makeup.

Bags on DealDash

We can find a popular bag on DealDash now that frequently goes up for auction and fits all of the needs I listed above. This soft genuine leather purse comes in two shapes (a medium-sized oval shape and a slightly larger rectangle shape) and five colors (black, brown, navy, red and gray). Sometimes one color is easier to win than another more popular color. Based on the last 10 sales (as of this writing) I did the math for each color of the bags and was very surprised to learn the red, brown and gray bags sold for the most (about $10 each) the Navy was next (about $7 per bag) and the overall average of the black bag sold for the least (about $5 each). I would have guessed that the black bag would be the most in demand instead of the red.

These purses come with a shoulder strap that can be clipped on or off. The other straps are adjustable so we can choose to use these bags as a hand-held purse or fanny pack instead. All hardware comes in gold finish only and these bags have a BIN of $395.00.

If we need a bigger bag or a different style, all we have to do is check into DealDash on a daily basis because they frequently put a wide variety of other bags up for auction as well.

Have a great day and I’ll see you at the auctions!
