DealDash Tips

Did you see the lovable plush toys up for auction on DealDash.com?

Most children adore soft, cuddly stuffed animals, but I learned some adults like them, too.

Whether we are shopping for our children or grandchildren, nieces or nephews or even an adult who wants to hang onto wonderful childhood memories, DealDash has an auction for you.

A friendly Sloth

A friendly sloth with a BIN of $145 appears to be surprisingly popular. 

It measures 85 cm or 33.4646 inches. In other words, this plush toy is huge. Most previous winners say this plush sloth is larger than expected, but very cute.  In fact, one of the winners said it measures 32-inches by 32-inches by 12-inches. This “friendly sloth” is made out of super soft polyester and the exterior is “in warm brown and beige tones. 

Some of the best deals so far were:

• Jan. 2, this plush sloth sold at 9 cents and the winner paid a total of only 64 cents including the cost of the  3 bids placed;
• Dec. 23, the plush sloth sold at $3.37 and the winner paid a total of $11.37 including the cost of the 40 bids placed; and
• Dec. 20, the plush sloth” sold at $3.65 and the winner paid a total of $10.85 including the cost of the 36 bids placed.

After 330 reviews, winning shoppers gave this sloth an overall rating of 4.87 out of a possible 5.0.

A terrific Triceratops

Jane the Triceratops has a BIN of $95. It’s created as a feisty, fun-loving character. This dinosaur  has a soft, snugly nose and measures 16-inches by 7-inches-by 8-inches. 

One special feature is t hat Jane the Triceratops comes with a sweet poem to be read to children.

So far, based on 226 customer reviews, Jane the Triceratops received an overall rating of 4.93 out of a possible 5.0 and that says a lot about customer satisfaction.

Some of the best deals former winners got so far were:

• Jan. 5, Jane the Triceratops sold at 62 cents and the winner paid a total of $3.15 including the cost of the 15 bids placed; 
• Jan. 9, this plush toy sold at $1.65 and the winner paid a total of $11.85 including the cost of the 51 bids placed; and 
• Dec. 29, this Triceratops sold at $1.90 and the winner paid a total of $4.30 including the cost of the 12 bids placed.

Eadgar the Duck

This adorable Eadgar the Duck, has a BIN of $135 but the last time it went up for auction on Dec. 23, it sold at $6.27 and the winner paid a total of $21.47 including the cost of the 76 bids placed.

According to the DealDash description, this 12-inch by 6-inch by 7-inch duck was created to have a playful, funny face. The outer shell is 100 percent polyester and it’s stuffed with 10 percent polyester and 90 percent gravel. That’s probably why it weighs 3.31 pounds and is heavier than expected. One special feature is that this duck has a detachable fabric that can be machine washed.

So far, based on 127 reviews, Eadgar the Duck has received an overall rating of 4.94 out of a possible 5.0. Previous winners commented on how adorable this duck is and how Eadgar is heavier than expected. Perhaps this toy duck could even be used as a door stop, too.

While we are checking out the above plush toys, we cannot miss the gigantic brown bear with a BIN of $175 and white bear with a BIN of $280. 

Happy shopping everyone!

If you have not been shopping on DealDash.com for a while, I hope you check it out again so you don’t miss out on this exciting liquidation sale. 

This means it’s time to eliminate some of the old auction items to make room for some new auction items. It also means that some of these items included in this liquidation sale will soon run out of stock so we will not have the opportunity to shop for them again. 

Let’s take a look at some of the auction products we might want to shop for before they are all gone.

Sweatshirts

DealDash now has several men’s and women’s sweatshirts up for auction. They come in various sizes: small, medium, large and extra large. The women’s sweatshirts are pink and are sold only one at a time.  Most of the men’s sweatshirts come in black, but some are gray, and they are auctioned off in singles, doubles and triples. 

The women’s sweatshirts received an overall rating of 4.83 out of 5.0. A few former winners described  this sweatshirt as “way to big” and “huge” so we might want to take that into consideration.  If we are looking for an easy win, however, this might be a great auction to bid on because it has been consistently selling at low prices. As of this writing, the last five times this sweatshirt went up for auction it sold at: 89 cents, 77 cents, 13 cents, 30 cents and 26 cents. We couldn’t get better deals than that.

The men’s sweatshirts received an overall rating of 5.0 out of 5.0.  The rating cannot get better than that. All of the reviews on the men’s sweatshirts indicates they absolutely love them. Some previous winners commented that they were nice and warm. The men’s fleece sweatshirts have been consistently selling low, also. The last four times the auction consisted of sets of two sweatshirts sold at:  $1.59; $3.39; $3.14 and $1.84. Now that’s a very good bargain!

Light Fixture (Set of 8)

Part of the DealDash liquidation auctions includes a set of 8 dimmable 3000 K LED Flush Mount Square Puff Lights. This auction  has a BIN of $204. 

This auction item also appears to be an easy win. The final bid price in the last five auctions were: 32 cents, $1.61; $7.04; $2.15; and $14.89. Perhaps we could install all new matching light fixtures in our home, or we could keep one or two for ourselves and give the rest away as gifts to family members and/or friends.

These light fixture must be hardwired , and according to the DealDash description they are, “designed to replace outdated round fluorescent flush mount fixtures.” 

The dimensions are 13 (L) by 13 (W) by 3/3/5 (H). The voltage is 120, watts is 25 and the lifespan is 35,000 hours. They come with a dimming feature, but they must have a corresponding dimming switch installed. The finish is white.

Above are just a few examples of the exciting liquidation auctions. Not only that, but as of this writing, the winners receive a 75 percent discount from the final cost of the auction, and that’s a huge advantage.

Hope to see you in these auctions!

If you are a tea drinker you might want to shop for one of the exotic tea sets now up for auction on DealDash.com.

Tea parties are not only fun for children. If you win one of the many fantastic tea sets from DealDash you might enjoy inviting a group of your friends over for tea. Don’t you think that would be great fun?

Here we are now well into the New Year of 2024 already. Whoever said, “Time is like a roll of toilet paper – the closer we get to the end, the faster it goes” is right. I remember when I was in first grade thinking it would take forever for me to get to my senior year, and it did seem like time went by so slowly during that part of my life. After I graduated and got out on my own, it felt like the years went by much faster. Before I knew it, I had become a senior citizen and I wonder how I got here so quickly. Sadly, as the years fly by, we often get so busy that we neglect to connect with our family and friends as often as we should. 

Why wait for the holidays to get together again? What better New Year’s resolution could we make than making a bigger effort to invite our family and friends over more often for a relaxing afternoon of tea.

Awesome Tea Sets

Recently, I noticed some awesome tea sets up for auction on DealDash with a BIN of $850.  Each ceramic dishwasher-safe set includes 1 tea pot (8-inches in length by 5 1/2-inches wide by 5-inches in height), 4 tea cups (3-inches in diameter by 2 3/4-inches in height) and 4 saucers (5 1/2-inches in diameter). Each set has a matching pattern. The teapot holds 27 ounces, and each cup holds 6.75 ounces. It might sound like a lot of money for a set of 4, but these tea sets are offered in different unique designs that we do not see anywhere else. 

According to the DealDash description, one “striking design” is “a kaleidoscope of blues” in a “contemporary Geometric pattern.” Another “Botanic design” showcases “the graceful flutters of our feathered friends,” providing “a sense of motion and serenity amidst the floating florets of the dandelion.” Another “Olive design” reflects the “evergreen tree which lives for thousands of years” reflecting a comforting feeling of solace and “evoking a sense of calm with its soothing olive green, tangerine and sea blue hues.”

These tea set patterns brought back many fond memories when my late husband who went on a military tour to Greece brought back a gorgeous tea set that had an intricate gold design. I still have half of the original set. When my late mother visited and saw my tea set, she loved it so much that I gave her half of my 8-pieces set. She valued that set so much that she even got special permission to bring it with her to the nursing home, where she prominently displayed the set in a little glass case in her small  room. My mother kept that tea set with her to enjoy until she passed away at 93. I never regretted giving her half of my tea set because it meant so much to her. Sometimes it’s the simple things in life that are valued the most.

Some of the best bargains DealDash shoppers won so far were:

• Dec. 30, the blue Geometric tea set sold at $2.96 and the winner paid a total of $7.16 including the cost of the 21 bids placed; 
• Jan. 1, the Botanic tea set sold at only 28 cents and the winner paid a total of $2.23 including the 11 bids placed; and 
• Jan. 4, the Olive tea set sold for only 31 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.71 including the cost of the 7 bids placed.

Would you or any other loved one in your life enjoy having a special tea set like the ones on DealDash? Imagine how good it would feel to give it to someone who would value it as much as my mother valued hers. Perhaps you could win the next great deal.

Regular DealDash.com shoppers most likely noticed the same auction products are offered in different sizes. For example, the men’s leather shoes come in a variety of sizes. 

What does size have to do with winning auctions? I once analyzed ring sizes and learned the smallest sized rings were easier to win than the larger sized rings, probably because most American women are bigger boned and have a much larger ring size than many women in other countries. When we win an auction (unless otherwise specified)  we are given a choice to keep the item won and pay the selling price or exchange our win for free bids. If the product we win has a BIN of $800 we would most likely get the opportunity to get 800 free bids instead in exchange for the item. That means we do not have to shop for the right size if we can exchange the win for bids.       

Some auction products could be easier to win simply based on size or color, so it might be worth looking at. Therefore, I decided to look at the men’s black and brown leather shoes.

Men’s leather dress shoes

The men’s leather dress shoes go up for auction in sizes 8, 9,  10, 11 and 12.  I only looked at the two best deals won in each Size. I left out a few sizes if I could not find enough data or the data was too old.

In Black (Sizes 8, 9, 11)

• Dec. 26, Size 8 sold at $1.14 and the winner paid a total of $4.88 including the cost of the 23 bids placed;
• Dec. 28, Size 8 sold at $5.18 and the winner paid a total of $13.89 including the cost of the 63 bids placed;
• Dec. 25, Size 9 sold at 22 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.02 including the cost of the 5 bids placed;
• Jan. 1, Size  9 sold at $1.97 and the winner paid a total of $7.40 including the cost of the 36 bids placed;
• Dec. 23, Size 11 sold at 6 cents and the winner paid a total of 26 cents including the cost of the 1 bid placed.
• Dec. 31, Size 11 sold at 16 cents and the winner paid a total of 64 cents including the cost of the 3 bids placed.

In Brown (Sizes 9, 10, 12)

• Jan. 6, Size 9 sold at 94 cents and the winner paid a total of $5.94 including the cost of the 25 bids placed;
• Jan. 6, Size 9 sold at $2.00 and the winner paid a total of $14.80 including the cost of the 64 bids placed;
• Dec. 31, Size 10 sold at 28 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.07 including the cost of the 5 bids placed;
• Dec. 31, Size 10 sold at 39 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.10 including the cost of the 5 bids placed;
• Jan. 4, Size 12 sold at 83 cents and the winner paid a total of $2.83 including the cost of the 10 bids placed;
• Dec. 25, Size 12 sold at $1.16 and the winner paid a total of $4.32 including the cost of the 21 bids placed.

You might want to know what I learned from the above data. Me, too. I have not yet figured it out, but after looking it over I can come to a few conclusions:

1. The best deals DealDash shoppers won in the men’s black leather shoes were in Size 11;
2. The best deals DealDash shoppers won in the men’s brown leather shoes were in Size 10;
3. DealDash shoppers won great deals in all sizes of the men’s leather shoes;
4. DealDash shoppers won the best deals when shopping for the brown leather men’s shoes over the black. The difference is very insignificant, however, it might indicate shoppers prefer to shop for the black men’s shoes over the brown.

Of course, there are a lot of different ways to look at and calculate data, and I only used data from the best deals won in each Size. If I were to take data from the last 10 winners in each Size instead of only using the best deals won,  I might have come up with different conclusions.
