DealDash Tips

DealDash.com is now featuring Inventory Liquidation Week and this could be one of the best times to shop to get some awesome deals.

The first products we should shop for are the auctions marked for liquidation with black and yellow bars. This means these items will soon be eliminated and this week might be our last opportunity to shop for them. 

Therefore, let’s take a look at some of the liquidation auctions that might soon run out of stock.

Full-sized luxury sheet set

A full-sized luxury 4-piece microfiber sheet set with a BIN of $129 just sold at 11 cents and the winner paid a total of only 65 cents, including the cost of the 3 bids used to get it. 

These sheets received 25 customer reviews and earned an overall rating of 4.96 out of a possible 5.0. Most of the winners wrote comments about the high-quality and soft feel. What a bargain for quality sheets. Other outstanding deals DealDash customers received were:

• April 13, this 4-piece set of full-sized sheets sold at 3 cents and the winner paid a total of 43 cents including the cost of the 2 bids used;
• April 7, this auction sold at 11 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.25 including the cost of the 6 bids used; and 
• April 16, this 4-piece full-sized sheet set sold at 39 cents and the winner paid a total of $2.59 including the cost of  the 11 bids placed.

It’s important to note that this is a “no-exchange” auction. That means the winner of this auction did not have the option to exchange it for bids. 

Food dehydrator

Oh, no, this food dehydrator with a BIN of $310 is part of this week’s inventory liquidation, too.  I’ve always wanted to have one because I have a couple fruit trees so it sure would come in handy. I guess this means it’s now or never. The good news is that it’s not yet too late for for us to have an opportunity to win this food dehydrator. It will be coming up for auction several more times this week, so I’ll see you there.

Based on 206 reviews so far, past winners have given this food dehydrator an overall rating of 4.87 out of a possible 5.0 and it it appears from the comments that previous winners just love it!

Several DealDash customers have won some awesome deals, too. So far, some of the best deals previous winners received are:

• April 11, this food dehydrator sold at $2.34 and the winner paid a total of $7.54 including the cost of the 26 bids used and
• April 12, this food dehydrator sold at $3.19 and the winner paid a total of $8.39 including the cost of the 34 bids placed.

By using a food dehydrator like this we will always be able to have plenty of  healthy foods available for our lunches, back-packing trips and late-night snacks. Instead of eating cookies and chips, we can lose weight and feel good by making our own meat jerky, crisp veggies like zucchini and dehydrated fruits like bananas, apples, strawberries and pineapple.

The bottom line

It’s a good idea to check out all of the inventory liquidation auctions this week so we do not miss out on any of the products that we really want to have. Happy shopping everyone!

Did you know that DealDash.com serves more than 20 million registered customers? In spite of so much competition, it might surprise you to know that DealDash shoppers still win fantastic deals on brand new products every day.  

If you look at the Winners’ List, you will be amazed at some of the best deals customers win. For example, just two days ago (as of this writing) a brand name pair of leather dress shoes, with a BIN of $1,450 sold at 10 cents and  the winner paid a total of only 50 cents including the cost of the 2 bids used to win them. We would never be able to find a deal like that anywhere else. Many people wonder how this is possible. 

Here’s how it works. DealDash helps businesses move excess inventory by purchasing a large number of items, and they also sell bid packs. Then, as DealDash customers, we have the opportunity to shop for and win these brand new products at greatly reduced prices. Sometimes the products sell high and sometimes they sell extremely low. We could say that Deal-Dash is a win-win for everyone. Even if we do not win, we have the opportunity to use the BIN (Buy-It-Now) option and get all of our bids back free to shop for something else in another auction. Customers love that. In fact, some customers do not care if they win or lose because they are bored and just go shopping on DealDash for the fun of it. After being a customer for more than 10 years, I have to admit DealDash is indeed a fun way to shop.

How easy or difficult it is to win an auction, however, depends on several different variables such as:

• The popularity and/or demand for the product (new vehicles, boats and massage chairs will be more difficult to win);
• The day and/or time the product goes up for auction; 
• The feature DealDash is running when the product goes up for auction (if winners get 75 percent off the selling cost it will usually sell at a higher cost); 
• The experience level of your top competitors (check the date they joined);
• The number of high-powered bidders who have already won and are now blocked from bidding again;
• The number of bids the last 10 winners used to win the same auction product; and
• Whether or not your strongest competitors recently won a huge bid pack.

The more shopping experience you get the more variables you will look at before you start shopping. Let’s take a look at more of the best deals shoppers won recently:

• Sunny Bahamas rug with a BIN of $1,110 sold at $1.12 and the winner paid a total of $1.72 including the cost of the 3 bids used;
• A set of  6 brand name knives with a BIN of $1,164 sold at 39 cents and the winner paid a total of $1.79 including the cost of  the7 bids used; and
• A set of 3 stainless steel pots and pans with a BIN of $2,490 sold at $2.72 and the winner paid a total of  $10.72 including the cost of the 40 bids placed.

The bottom line

Anybody can win auctions on DealDash.com if we know what we are doing. There is a lot more to winning auctions on DealDash.com than simply placing a random number of bids on a random number of auctions. Winners read the winning tips, watch the winning shoppers, study various winning strategies, know which screen names to avoid and win on purpose.

Are we still using the same steam iron we got decades ago? Perhaps it’s time for us to shop for a new updated one. 

Good news! A  new 3.5-pound steam iron with a BIN of $220 is now up for auction on DealDash.com. This 1200W steam iron is loaded with many updated features. The best news of all is that more auctions are coming up so you’ll have plenty of opportunities to win it. So far, 1,180 former winners have already left rave reviews, and most of them won this iron at bargain prices, too.

It comes with five precision fabric settings for synthetics, silk, wool, cotton and linen. This iron has three variable steam settings that can easily remove stubborn creases. What’s really nifty is the vertical steam function for touch-ups without using an ironing board.

We can go online and watch demonstration videos that show how the TurboFin feature self-cleans and we can also see a video that shows what the anti-calc function works to ensure many years of this steam iron’s awesome performance.

Another outstanding feature is the motion-sensitive technology that shuts the iron off if it is left unattended. According to the auction description, this iron will automatically shut off “if left unattended for fifteen minutes on the heel and 30 seconds on the sole-plate or its sides.” If a visitor  comes to our door or we get distracted by a phone call, this safety feature no doubt helps to prevent accidentally burning our clothes or causing a fire. 

The overall design of this steam iron is absolutely fantastic. The sharp point in the front makes it possible to easily get access to the hard-to-reach places like between buttons. This iron has a 360 degree pivoting of the 8-foot power cord that prevents tangles on the ironing board but allows for a long-reach at the same time. It even has an anti-drip design that prevents leaks at low temperatures or during switch off.

A brief history of irons

Before we had electricity, irons were heated by combustion, like a fire. The ancient Chinese used a scoop that was heated with hot coal or sand and they would rub it over clothing to smooth wrinkles. What modern people would identify as an iron first appeared in Europe in the 1300. It wasn’t until the late 1800s that people started using irons to get creases out of clothing.

American country irons flourished from 1850 to 1950. In the 19^th century, they were found in every country home and were heated on cast iron stoves. They were commonly called “flat” or “sad” irons. Compared to what we have available today, the early irons were pretty “sad.” I was born in 1947, and I still remember my mother heating the iron on a cast iron stove. To see how hot it was, she tested it by placing the iron on a newspaper. She did not want it to be too hot or it would burn the clothes. If it burned the newspaper, she let it iron cool off for a few minutes before ironing the clothes.

According to my research, the first electric iron has been around since the 1880s, but it weighed almost 15 pounds (6.8 kg) and took a long time to heat. The first electric flatiron was invented by American Henry Seely White and was patented June 6, 1882. However, it wasn’t until the 1920s that an iron came on the market that used a thermostat to regulate and control the temperature. The first electric steam iron, invented by Thomas Sears, was first used by a New York cleaning company in 1926, but it wasn’t until 1938 that the steam iron became commercially successful. Other electric steam irons first began to flood the market in the mid-1900s.

Today, fewer clothes need ironing since perma press  wrinkle free fabrics became popular. However, washing alone might not be enough to make our clothes look fresh, neat and stylish. Ironing them will remove all the wrinkles and give our shirts, trousers and dresses a more sophisticated look.
