An Exquisite Chess Set

Do you like to challenge yourself to keep your mind active?  Perhaps you know someone else who does.

Then you will not want to miss out on the DealDash.com auction featuring this exquisite chess set with a BIN of $300.00. According to the auction description, this set is “handcrafted by local craftsmen using mango wood from India,” which really makes this set stand out that anyone would be proud to own. In fact, a chess set like this could be handed down from generation to generation.

Chess is a beautiful game – even more if you have a special board and pieces!

Looking at the past winners of this auction, it’s obvious that some DealDash shoppers are willing to pay a lot more than $300 to own a quality set like this. However, at least four previous winners were able to win this chess game at a bargain price. For example:

  • On April 14, this auction sold for $7.78. The winner paid a total of $56.58 including the cost of the 244 bids used.
  • On April 12, this auction sold for $15.78. The winner paid a total of $48.49 including the cost of the 203 bids used.
  • On April 11, this auction sold for $19.24. The winner paid a total of $49.52 including the cost of the 238 bids used.

The above examples show some shoppers have already won a great bargain on this unique and exquisite chess game.

A Brief History of Chess

The history of chess can be traced back to nearly 1,500 years, beginning in India and from there spreading to Persia. From there the game of chess was taken up by the Muslim world and went from there to southern Europe. Once it went to Europe the game pieces’ names and appearances were changed to resemble an English court

Ches (Chess) is an acronym for Chario (rook), Horse (knight), Elephant (bishop) and Soldiers (pawns).

A study involving 4,000 second-grade student showed that after 4 ½ months of studying chess, it significantly increased their IQ score.

According to my research, “The game of chess has been found to be addictive because of increased levels of hormones such as dopamine providing a feeling of euphoria and happiness and, according to my research, thus the brain associates that feeling with playing chess.”

It is believed that playing chess “enhances critical thinking skills” and one of the main reasons chess is difficult is that it requires players to adapt at a moment’s notice. In other games, we do the same thing over and become better at it, but that isn’t the case with chess. “Because you’re playing against someone else, you have to be able to adapt to them to win.”

The Bottom Line

After finding out about some of the many benefits of playing chess, perhaps we should all learn how to play the game if we don’t already play it, and now we have the opportunity to win the game on DealDash.com.

Any one of us could be the next shopper to win a great bargain in the chess auction, so I will probably see you there.

Happy shopping everyone!

Impressive Cufflinks

DealDash.com has some new high-end cufflinks coming up for auction, and three winners already got them at an awesome bargain price.

The logo design on this set of polished stainless steel and highly durable cufflinks indicates they come from Paris, France, so they will no doubt please even the most sophisticated men who dress to impress.

Cufflinks can be the ”cherry on top” for a great outfit.

These quality cufflinks have a BIN of $495 but on March 26 all three winners (at the time of this writing) got them for the following bargain prices:

  • The auction closed at 14 cents and the winner placed 2 bids and paid a total of 54 cents.
  • The auction closed at $1.43 and the winner placed 55 bids and paid a total of $12.43.
  • The auction closed at $3.60 and the winner placed 107 bids and paid a total of $25.00.

I doubt any of us could even find a discount store where we could get better bargains than this.

A brief history of cufflinks

According to my research, cuff links first appeared in the 1600s, but did not become popular until the end of the 18th Century. 

Prior to that, men held their cuffs together with ribbons or ties. In the 17th Century, the upper class started using small chains that were fastened to the end of a gold or silver button.

French tailors and jewelers soon started adding semi-precious gemstones or stamped designs to the gold and silver buttons. That’s when the cuff links were born.

Today cufflinks are sometimes considered to be the ultimate luxury corporate gift. They can be the perfect way to commemorate momentous moments such as promotions, mergers, Father’s day, special birthdays, retirements and/or Christmas presents.

Today’s cufflinks also come in a variety of designs and can even be custom made with initials, family crests and corporate logos. They may even be marked with birthdates of a man’s children. For example, a man who has two sons might the birth date of his first son on the right and the birthday of his second son on the left cufflink. They could also be marked with the date of a man’s wedding anniversary.

Cufflinks have become an important part of every man’s overall fashion and are especially important to upper class men who pay close attention to every detail.

Women can also wear cufflinks especially designed with a more feminine touch that could be designed with pearls.

The bottom line

If you want to find a steel of a deal on some very impressive, high-end cufflinks for your father, husband or son shopping on DealDash.com is the right place to shop.

Support Ukraine

DealDash.com is making a gigantic effort to support Ukraine, and we can help.
A special auction has been created for a DealDash customer to win a virtual Meet ‘N’ Greet with Ryan Arey, the host of Screen Crush, and 100% of the auction proceeds will be donated to relief efforts in Ukraine.

There are many ways to offer support to Ukraine and those affected by war!


This special auction will begin this week, and no new bidders will be accepted after the auction reaches $100. I don’t know all the details on how the BIN of $10,000 will work, but if some shoppers choose to pay the BIN of $10,000 to get all their bids back for free at the end of the auction, arrangements will also be made for those shoppers to get scheduled to have a virtual Meet ‘N’ Greet with Ryan Arey, too. That means Arey could end up doing more than one virtual Meet ‘N’Greets. If anyone has a question about this, it might be a good idea to contact DealDash customer support.


According to the description on this auction, it is a rare opportunity for shoppers to win a virtual, one-on-one Meet ‘N’ Greet with this “illustrious host.” Evidently, Ryan Arey has a huge following of fans “for his reviews of movie & TV shows, breakdowns, analysis, Easter eggs and video essays from the popular YouTube creator of Screen Crush.”


We Americans are known for our generosity when it comes to helping others in need. If you have been watching the news of Russia’s attack on Ukraine you have seen images of some of the most vulnerable – women, children and the elderly. Thousands of their homes have been completely demolished and the millions of Ukraine’s displaced families are in critical need of food and water supplies, hygiene kits and cash assistance.


We can only imagine how devastating it would be for us to have our homes destroyed and be left with nothing but the clothes on our backs. Hopefully, DealDash shoppers who can afford to actively participate in this auction will do so – not just to win but mostly just to generously support the unfortunate refugees from Ukraine, who are struggling to survive.
Thank you, DealDash, for creating this special auction to help these brave people from Ukraine!

Auctions That Sell For a Low Price

Are you interested in learning which DealDash.com auctions consistently sell low and are the easiest ones to win at bargain prices?

I think we all would like to know which auctions offer us the greatest and most frequent opportunities to win. To discover the answer to this question I went data shopping to find out the answer.

An auction gavel slams down indicating the end of an auction.
Sold to the highest bidder (and for a low price)!

Here are a few auction products I found that have a fairly high BIN but shoppers frequently win far below the listed BIN price tag:

Bottles of Perfume

In this case the bottles of perfume DealDash frequently sells are called parfum. These high-end 1.7 fluid ounce bottles of parfum are made in Paris, France, which is known for producing some of the most awesome fragrances in the world.

This parfum has a BIN of $250 but consistently sells at bargain prices. Just in the last two days (at the time of this writing) here are some examples of the fantastic bargains past shoppers won:

  • March 18, this parfum auction sold at 42 cents; and the winner paid a total of $1.01 (including the cost of the 4 bids placed).
  • March 18, the same day, this parfum sold for $1.06; and the winner paid a total of only $5.13 (including the cost of the 23 bids placed)
  • March 18, again on the same day, this parfum sold for $2.72; and the winner paid a total of $3.96 (including the cost of the 13 bids placed).

The above shows just three (but there were even more) huge bargain prices won by DealDash shoppers on the same day and then the very next day, here are two more:

  • March 19, this jar of parfum sold for $1.16; and the winner paid a total of $6.78 (including the cost of the 31 bids placed).
  • March 19, again on the same day, this parfum sold for only 36 cents; and the winner paid a total of $2.38 (including the cost of the 11 bids placed).

This data shows this parfum with a BIN of $250 consistently sells at extremely low prices and DealDash shoppers are frequently winning it at bargain prices.

Suede Open-Toed Bootie (Shoes)

This is another auction product that consistently sells at bargain prices. I will list some examples that DealDash shoppers received just this month when shopping for these size 9.5 booties.

These open-toed swede shoes have a BIN of $158 but several shoppers recently paid far less than that. See below:

  • March 9, these swede shoes sold for $1.47; and the winner paid a total of $6.75 (including the cost of the 33 bids placed)
  • March 10, these swede shoes sold for $2.90; and the winner only paid a total of $5.10 (including the cost of the 11 bids placed)
  • March 10, the same day, these swede shoes sold for 37 cents; and the winner only paid $3.17 (including the 14 bids placed)
  • March 14, these swede shoes sold for $2.91; and the winner only paid a total of $19.25 (including the cost of the 89 bids placed)
  • March 15, these swede shoes sold for $2.18; and the winner only paid a total of $7.09 (including the cost of the 30 bids placed)
  • March 15, the same day, these swede shoes sold for 30 cents; and the winner only paid $2.15 (including the 10 bids placed)

If we look at the data above, this is another DealDash auction that frequently sells far below its BIN of $158 and several shoppers won them at bargain prices.

The bottom line

No wonder shoppers enjoy shopping on DealDash.com because we could not even find deals like this at discount stores for used products. We would never be able to get brand new items this anywhere else at such awesome bargain prices.

Sometimes the competition can be tough but if we look for the easy-to-win auctions we can find them and we can win them, too.

Happy shopping everyone!
