Practical Gifts

Often times I prefer to shop for practical items on DealDash.com that are fairly easy to win.

I look for items that anyone could use. Then, if I win the auction, I save it in my “gift box” so I always have a gift ready to meet all occasions that are sure to frequently come up, such as birthdays, graduations, Christmas and anniversaries. I’m a very busy person so it is not always convenient for me to drop everything and run to the store to shop for last-minute gifts. By shopping on DealDash we can always have very nice gifts on hand.

The best gift is a gift that people will actually use! Use DealDash to help find one!

Here is my list of practical items on DealDash that are fairly easy to win.

Genuine Leather Wallet

Who cannot use a brand new leather wallet? Some people use the same wallet for so many years that as soon as they open it up, it nearly falls apart. That’s why I think a brand new leather wallet is sure to make a wonderful gift.

Deal Dash has a genuine leather bi-fold black wallet that has a BIN of $75 but many shoppers have already won it for far less than that. For example:

  • On March 27, this auction sold at 79 cents. The winner used 23 bids and paid a total of only $4.99 counting the cost of the bids used.
  • On March 26, this auction sold at $1.60. The winner used only 3 bids and paid a total of $2.20 counting the cost of the bids used.
  • On March 24, this auction sold at 45 cents. The winner used 11 bids and paid a total of $2.24 counting the cost of the bids used.
  • More recently, on April 12, this auction sold at $2.71. The winner used 84 bids and paid a total of $18.15 counting the cost of the bids used.
  • Today, April 15, this auction just sold at $2.76. The winner used 73 bids and paid a total of $15.98 counting the cost of the bids used.

Even the last winner got a really good bargain.

Laptop Case

A laptop case with a BIN of $68 is another practical item that is fairly easy to win on DealDash.com.

This case that has room to hold a 17-inch lap top is made out of durable canvas material and it’s even padded for extra protection. Several shoppers have already won great bargains on this item, too. For example:

  • As of this writing today, on April 15, this item sold at 29 cents. The winner placed 10 bids and paid a total of $2.14 counting the cost of the bids used.
  • On April 14, this item sold at 30 cents. The winner placed 6 bids and paid a total of $1.50 counting the cost of the bids used.
  • On April 12, this item sold at 27 cents. The winner placed 10 bids and paid a total of $2.13 counting the cost of the bids used.

Therefore, several shoppers already got a very good deal on this item, too.

Bottom Line

DealDash can be very competitive but awesome bargains are still available. All we have to do is watch for them.

Happy shopping and Happy Easter everyone!

Wireless Charging


How would you like to have a fast, wireless charging pad for Smartphones?
This wireless charging pad with a BIN of $100 often goes up for auction on DealDash.com.
I plan to keep my eye out for it the next time I shop because so far this product has received many five-star customer reviews. One previous winner wrote “I love that it’s so convenient to set my phone down and it automatically charges” and other customers have called it a “great” and “awesome” product.

The future of charging is definitely wireless!

I think it’s amazing that this charging pad has universal compatibility, works with all Qi wireless smartphones and charges through most smartphone cases. It also features a blue LED charging light. Many shoppers have already won this wireless charging pad at bargain prices, too. For example:


• As of this writing, today, April 23, this pad sold at only 45 cents and the winner paid a total of $3.25 counting the cost of their 14 bids used
• In another auction today, April 23, this product sold at $6.13 and the winner paid a total of $7.53 counting the cost of their 7 bids used
• On April 21, this wireless charging pad sold for only 12 cents and the winner paid a total of only 66 cents counting the cost of their 3 bids used to win it.


As you can see from the examples above all three of these past winners won this auction at fantastic bargain prices.

A brief history of charging pads


First of all, what is a wireless charging pad? Answer: Instead of plugging your device into a charging cable, a special wireless charging pad transfers energy to your device using electromagnetic induction (also known as “inductive coupling”). However, it doesn’t replace charging with a cable. All phones that support wireless charging can still be charged the traditional way.
Some users may be concerned about the safety of using wireless charging. It will not damage your smartphone’s battery. While wireless phone chargers do emit EMF (electric and magnetic fields) radiation, the range it emits is quite low and it manages the process very carefully.
According to my research, Meredith Perry, a 25-year-old undergrad at the University of Pennsylvania, built the first model of her wireless charging system. She demonstrated it at the “All Things Digital” conference in 2011.
Nonetheless, Nikola Tesla was the inventor of the wireless charging technology.
In 1978, J.G. Bolger, F.A. Kirsten and S. Ng are credited with the first application of inductive charging used in the United States. They made an electric vehicle powered with a system at 180 Hz with 20 KW.
Qi was invented in 2008. However, Nokia Lumia 920 was the first widely-available phone to adopt the Qi standard and feature wireless charging. By 2018, Apple’s iPhone 8 family was the first generation of Apple phones to support wireless charging. The Qi standard had won out and the rest is history.


Android phone manufacturers say, “Do not leave your phone connected to the charger for long periods of time or overnight.” To effectively prolong the battery life, keeping your battery level as close to the middle (30 to 70 percent) is best.

The bottom line


For more specific information on the fast wireless charging pad on DealDash, see the description provided in the auction.
I don’t know about you but I think this will be one of the products that I will go shopping for in the near future. Other shoppers have won great bargains so why not us?
Happy shopping and I’ll see you there!

High Quality Earrings

DealDash.com has some new high quality earrings for auction that would be sure to please any woman with a strong sense of class, style and sophistication.

Unlike any earrings we would find in any average retail or discount store, these earrings featuring “a striking geometric pattern” would definitely add a special touch to any well-dressed woman. Best of all, several winners already won them for only a fraction of its full retail value.

A new pair of earrings is a great treat to start off Spring!

These beautifully designed earrings have a BIN of $260 but check out the bargains listed below that previous winners received:

  • On April 2, this auction sold at 69 cents and the winner paid a total of only $3.29 counting the cost of the 13 bids placed
  • Again on April 2, this auction sold at $1.29 and the winner paid a total of $3.89 counting the cost of the 13 bids placed
  • A third time on April 2, this auction sold at $1.66 and the winner paid a total of  $12.86 counting the cost of the 56 bids placed

As you can see from the three examples above that high-quality earrings and other jewelry can be some of the best shopping bargains we can get on DealDash.

A brief History of Earrings

According to my research, earrings have remained popular for more than 7,000 years, and originated in ancient Asia. Egyptians once wore earrings to signify that they were wealthy or of a higher class, and the British Museum has gold earrings from Egypt that date back to the 19th Dynasty (1200 to 1186 BC).  However, in ancient Rome, earrings were worn only by slaves. Ancient Sumerian women’s earrings are the earliest earrings archaeologists have discovered and are typically gold hoops.

The earlobe is associated with financial stability and social status, and through the years earrings became a symbol of womanhood and a sign of identification. More than that, however, in the ancient worlds, it was believed that the spirits enter a human body by way of one’s ears. Therefore, during this period, earrings were worn primarily for the purpose of protecting oneself from the destructive spirits and energies. To many women today no outfit is complete without a pair of beautiful earrings.

The tradition of ear piercing started about 5,000 years ago and was traced back to Europe’s oldest mummy named Otzi, who was found on the border between Austria and Italy with her ears pierced.

During the hippy movement in the late 1960s, men started wearing earrings as a symbol of rebellion and non-conformism. In the 1980s guys who wore an earring in the right ear meant the wearer was a homosexual, and a guy who wore an earring in the left ear meant the wearer was straight.

Each wearer, like other accessories, selects the style of earrings they prefer – studs or dangly earrings, hoops or even tunnels. It’s an individual choice.  The heavier the earring, the more likely the ears are to sag. Ear sagging happens over time and occurs in women who frequently wear heavy earrings. The thickness of the wearer’s ear lobe also determines how heavier earrings will affect the individual.

The bottom Line

If we want to shop for a very impressive pair of high quality earrings without paying an arm and a leg to get them, DealDash.com is the right place to find just what we want.

Happy shopping everyone!

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.  

A hand knocks over a chess piece, ending the game with checkmate!
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!
