I know we are still four months away from Christmas but I am starting my DealDash Christmas shopping now!
I need to stretch my gifts budget as far as I can so before the Christmas shopping rush gets too overwhelming, I’m stocking up on my stocking stuffers and gifts.
My oldest daughter is married and they live on the income her husband makes as the sole bread winner. I know they need household items, including furniture, so I scanned the pages of DealDash auctions in hopes to find something suitable I could win and gift to them. I saw an upcoming auction for a Faux Leather Club Chair. I have never won furniture before, so I was unsure of how it would go but I wanted to try. With my luck, I would get into an auction with one of those power bidders who have an endless supply of bids at their disposal. However, to my delight I was able to win the chair for $5.24 using 145 bids. The value of the chair is listed at $194.00. The furniture they have in their living room now, will go perfectly with this new chair.
I’m excited and can’t wait for Christmas to give it to them! I know she will like it! Now I just need to find a place to hide it till then. Now that I have won my first furniture auction and feel a bit more comfortable with these types of items, I am going to try again to win more furniture. Although, I am sure they will not all be quite so easy to win as this one was. But for that, I am grateful!
