Online auctions are fast becoming the trend nowadays. We never thought that online hsopping could get any better until online auctions came along. What’s great is that with online auctions, you get better value for certain items, especially gadgets. And I mean so much better.

Such is the case of Bidazzled–an online auction site that offers so much savings to the consumer, like as much as 90% off retail store prices.

And another good thing is, while Bidazzled is going about doing their business, they are actually funding the Ruch Foundation, which is a lung cancer charity.

At Bidazzled, bids are bought beforehand and placed on the site for a particular item. I like the fact that the price of the item, which are usually brand name items, only increases every few cents, that is why the prices come out really cheap! The auction stops with the countdown clock and when no other bid has been placed.

Other benefits offered at Bidazzled include 50 bonus bids (just in case you don’t win) and a buy-back offer–yes! You can actually sell the item that you won back to them, which you can convert into cash (paid via Paypal or check), or cash and bids, or bids only. Additionally, if you did not win and still would want to purchase the item, you can do so and all the bids you have placed will be deducted from the price. So how good can it get?

With this announcement, Bidazzled is giving away 15 free bids when any of these codes will be used for sign up.

What’s more? Registration is absolutely free.

And oh, by the way, before I forget, they also have a referral program and you get free bids with each new person you refer.

Bids cost $1 each and could be bought in packs.

I think that everyone is excited about the holidays. One great thing to do would be to give gifts. If we receive something then it is well,too.

However, sometimes going around and looking for the perfect gift for everyone can take its toll on us, especially that we are all so busy during the holidays. The other day, we had to buy a present for our exchange gift in our cell group’s Christmas Party and it took my husband and I more than an hour just looking around the housewares section, lugging our little one in the carrier, while trying to find the perfect gift with the perfect price.

So it is during these times that a Holiday Buying Guide would come in handy. It gives us pertinent ideas on what to get our loved ones. And since the prices are already there, we don’t have to ask harassed salesclerks who are no longer performing their best because of the long holiday hours that they have to work. And this is where the Dirt Devil Holiday Buying Guide proves to be very helpful.

I am aware that the Dirt Devil makes the meanest vacuum cleaners, but I did not know that I can get them as gifts because they have specialized products for him or her or the entire family. I especially liked the Family Favorites area because I am already in the age and stage of family life. And naturally, my friends are, too. At the same time, I could really use a good vacuum cleaner, too. I also realized that the prices are really reasonable.

In the site, there is a free shipping link that gives customers a shortcut on shipping concerns. Plus, of course, shopping is done online. No need to bump into so many people and no more standing up and waiting for your turn at the cashier. This is the life!
