What Not To Do In Swoopo Bidding

In every aspect of life, there are rules to be followed. This is also the same in the case of Swoopo bidding. As you can see, we also need to avoid a few things when we do our bids. Here they are.

Don’t Forget the Golden Rule

There’s only one rule on Swoopo that should never be violated under any circumstances. And as unbelievable as it may seem, it does get violated on a semi-regular basis on Swoopo. Here’s the Golden Rule: never pay over retail price for anything on Swoopo. It’s a grave sin in bidding.

Now keep in mind, I’m not talking about the cost of bids. I’m only talking about the current product price. If you find this number getting close to or exceeding the “Worth up to:” price of an item, bail immediately! You could leave Swoopo right now, go to Amazon and order the same product for the same price or cheaper.

The Post-BidButler Battle Bid

As I have mentioned before, if two BidButlers are triggered at the same time, a BidButler Battle occurs. The cost of the item and the time on the clock will then both soar. It’s not unusual to see 10 minutes or more added to the auction clock after a BidButler battle and you noticed that immediately. A common error is a bidder jumping in immediately after the BidButler Battle with single bids while the auction clock still shows several minutes. That’s a big mistake. Also, do not go hand in hand with a Bidbutler that has just emerged victorious on a Bidbutler battle.

Don’t Start Bidding Unless You Have Time To Spend on an Auction

This rule is for all the busy folks especially our working bidders out there. If you know you’ll need to leave your computer after only a few minutes, do not start bidding. It is because a typical Swoopo auction can take well over a day. That doesn’t mean though that you need to set aside 24 hours to start bidding. No, most auctions will only be truly competitive for a few hours. A good rule of thumb to use is never start bidding on an auction unless you can devote at least two hours to it. Yup, two hours.

Also, you probably won’t need to pay attention the entire time. A BidButler Battle, mentioned earlier, could give you much needed bathroom and snack breaks of ten minutes or more. But you don’t want to be pulled away from an auction after you’ve already invested your hard earned money in bids.

I hope this three simple “do not” (not the food) will guide you and your strategy on bidding with Swoopo. You might want to join our Swoopo strategy community forum and update yourself with the latest stuff in Swoopo.

Everyone has witnessed the aftermath of accidents when the battered cars are towed away by tow trucks. The benefits of these towing services are many.

The crime rate is growing rapidly and the prospect of being alone in the evening walking through a dark stretch of highway is frightening. Women especially are vulnerable when they are driving alone or with children through an isolated area. We would love to all be constantly protected from both hidden and obvious dangers at all times but, the reality is, we are not.

A number of situations arise in ones lifetime where you may need the services of a towing company. If you are in an accident and the car is damaged extensively then you will need to find the nearest towing company which can be a hassle. The company may be expensive and you may not be carrying enough to cover the costs. Getting your car to the garage and getting it fixed may cost you the same as getting it towed to the mechanic in the first place.

If your car breaks down suddenly then you may also need to contact towing services. Cars are vulnerable to time and parts erode over the years. Your car may break down at anytime for numerous reasons and most of the time it happens when you least expect it. Finding a mechanic close by may not be an option.

A mechanic’s shop may be too far out and you will need to find some emergency road services to help transport your car, which is an added cost to getting your car fixed and up and running again. You can avoid this hassle if you have a plan in advance where you get roadside assistance and it includes the price of towing at a reasonable rate.

Roadside assistance plans offer a number of services that are included in the monthly fee. The fee is reasonable and it prevents you from having to pay a hefty sum all at once in case of an emergency. The fee includes a variety of services besides towing such as offering to come and fix your flat tire anywhere you may be. It also includes various other benefits like bringing you a battery in case of a failure.

The roadside plan helps you out of most auto related issues. They will help you if you run out of gas suddenly or get locked out of your car. Every time such incidences happen you would have had to pay a huge amount for towing services and finding a lock smith at odd hours. Having a road side plan will take into consideration all situations where you may be helpless and stuck with your car. They will help you in every emergency situation moving your car safely and securely.

Keep in mind the numerous emergency situations you may find yourself in and realize that anyone may need towing services at any point in time. Having a decent roadside assistance plan will ensure that you get help swiftly and economically.

Bidding in Swoopo requires good strategy, a good mindset and the will to win. This however, is a problem for those who are new with the Swoopo system. The good thing is that Swoopo has prepared different variations on their auctions. Here are the explanations of each type of their auctions.

Beginner Auctions – as the name implies, this auction is only available for Swoopo users who have yet to win an auction in Swoopo. The competition here is less fierce which is good for those who are less experienced.

Penny Auctions – the price of the item is increased only one cent for each bid. Penny auctions usually involve high demand items like TVs, Cameras, Game Consoles and related gadgets.

Standard Auctions – each bid in this type of auction raises by the prices of 2, 6, 12 or 24 cents. You will know this type of auction by a red banner across the left side of the screen that lists the bid amount. You’ll still pay $.60 per bid though.

Nailbiter Auction – this type of auction prohibit the use of Bidbutler, meaning each bid is done manually by clicking the bid button. This auction is also recommended for beginners to get their feet wet on Swoopo. Make sure though that you have several hours to spend before committing to an auction on a Nailbiter as they require constant attention.

Open Auction – Swoopo sets a limit on the number of auctions you can win in a given month (usually 8 auctions). But on Open Auctions, you can bid regardless of how many other auctions you’ve won that month.

Closed Auction – this latest addition in Swoopo Auction allows some auctions to be closed to a limited number of bidders. Only those users who have placed at least one bid can continue to bid. Just make sure you don’t get “locked out” of these closed auctions you want to participate with.

International and Local Auctions – you can verify if an auction is international by the globe icon at the top right-hand side of the screen. On the other hand, Local auctions only allow Swoopo bidders from a specific country to participate. These are shown by the relevant country flag.

Other Auction Types – the last two former auction types in Swoopo were Fixed Price Auctions and 100% Off Auctions. These auction types are no longer offered because of the confusion it caused among Swoopo bidders and outsiders who are checking the system.

So there you go with the type of auctions you can place your bids with on Swoopo. I hope the next time you visit the Swoopo website, you will know which appropriate type of auction your prepared Swoopo bidding strategy will make use of. I you haven’t, no worries. Take note that it is not hard to bid on Swoopo if you get to learn each basic step and choose the right auction type that best suits your Swoopo bidding strategy.

Where Can You Purchase Cheap Electronics For A Penny

Sunday, February 7th, 2010 at 12:54 pm

Money is tight these days which means that there is not much left for purchasing anything that is not necessary. The main thing is making sure that all the important bills are paid and that there is food in the home with not much left for anything else. One way to get the cheap electronics that are wanted that cannot be afforded is by purchasing them from penny auctions.

At an auction that only starts at a penny, cheap electronics can be purchased for much less than retail. When there is only one bidder, the item in question can be bought for just one cent. The only other cost is going to be shipping to receive the item but this is standard.

If you add the cost of the electronic that is only a penny and add in the shipping costs, this is still a steal. Cheap electronics that are bought at any Internet store will still have to be shipped and this is going to have to be paid for. But when the total cost is only one penny plush shipping, this is still going to save a great deal of money.

There are many other places where bidding is allowed to purchase products at a great discount from buying them elsewhere. A great deal can be had, but there is minimum that has to be met before the item is sold. The person who is offering the product for sale can say that they are not going to sell it unless the set price is reached.

These other auctions also do not start at one penny. They sell their cheap electronics but typically have a starting price of at least ninety nine cents. While this is not much, it can mean that the electronics are going to sell for more if there are many bids on the auction.

At a penny auction, all auctions start at just one penny. If you are the only bidder, then you are going to get that item for just one penny. There are no other auctions like this anywhere, online or at traditional auctions.

Those who want cheap electronics should go to a penny auction and not one of the large online auctions where they are not going to get electronics for a penny. Other auctions do not offer this starting price and are much more expensive. Only a true penny auction is going to offer this starting price and is going to allow members to purchase electronics for just a penny!

Wavee.Com features some of the best items of any penny auction. Whether you are looking for cheap electronics, a cheap laptop or anything else, Wavee.com should be your new online shopping home.

Penny auctions are renowned for having some great deals on home electronics.

There is one big difference between penny auctions and the other online auctions and this is in the bidding. While other websites use cash, an online penny auction uses credits to pay for each bid. These credits may even be won at the auction for lower than their value, saving you more money.

The pay-per-bid system insures that everyone gets an equal chance at winning the item they choose. While this is still an auction, your can increase your chances greatly by using a few tricks of the trade. Each website has a bidding assistant feature that will continue to bid for you provided the amount you have set for the item does not exceed the bidding amount.

This eliminates the need to sit at the computer during the actual auction time. If you are outbid, the website will send an email informing you of this. This gives you an opportunity to increase the amount of credits you are willing to bid in order to win the auction.

Finding a cheap Xbox along with a myriad of other choices in home electronics is nowhere easier than in an online penny auction. With so many bargains available, the hardest choice will be which item to bid on first.

Losing Bids Are Still Winners At Penny Auctions

Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 11:51 am

How many times have you bid on an item at an online auction just to find that at the last minute someone placed the winning bid and the item is lost? This can make a person feel like a loser and they are going to be disappointed that they did not win. At penny auctions, even if the item is not won, the bids that were placed are going to earn points to purchase other items so there really are no losers.

The only winner at most Internet and non Internet based auctions is the person who offers the most money for the item. Everyone else who wanted the product is going to be out of luck and is not going to get anything for their loss. This is why auctions can be so heart wrenching when a certain thing is wanted and then it is too high for them to afford.

The great thing about penny auctions is that everyone is a winner. Even if they lose the auction, there are awards that go to losers as well as winners. It is going to be hard to find any other way to get rewarded for losing. At the end of the day, there is no loser which is great for all involved.

Anyone who has enough credits can use these to purchase items directly from the awards store and can cash them in for products. Those who prefer it can get money back instead of purchasing anything. These funds can either be used for bidding or can be taken out and used for paying bills.

Even if you are the winning bidder, there are still going to be bonus points awarded for every item that is bid on. The site is going to allow the viewing of how many points have been awarded and how many there are on the account in total. It is easy to see the amount of points that have been awarded.

Every time bonus purchases are made, the amount is going to be removed from the bonus account. Some people are going to want to get as many bonuses as possible and for this the penny auctions websites offer auctions for bonuses that are going to total a large amount for just a penny.

There are not many auction sites that offer rewards even to the losing bidders. When it comes to rewards, a penny auction site is the best way to get them. There are bonuses for each bid which can be spent in the bonus store to purchase more items.

If you are tired of paying full price for items when you do your online shopping, check out Wavee.com. You will find cheap electronics, cheap computers and everything else you can think of far below market prices.

Penny Auctions: Be Prepared To Reap Rewards

Friday, February 5th, 2010 at 8:44 am  
Leave your comment

The latest rage in the online auction arena is penny auction sites. Do a search and find that these auctions have been termed gambling, entertainment shopping and ways to find incredible bargains on hot items like electronics. As with all things Internet-related, these websites are not for novices, but they can provide a wealth of great deals once you learn the system.

What does one need to know to successfully navigate penny auctions sites? The key is being prepared and not believing that these sites are the same as the regular online auction websites. Yes, those who sign up know that bids have to be purchased but there are worlds of differences beyond this. Those who look to succeed need to do their homework and understand the ins and outs of each specific site.

Watch out for specific information such as the number of bids needed to participate in penny auctions and above all, pay attention to the clock. Lots of tip sites stress the value of last minute bids, but savvy bidders know that this is not the only key to winning. Tossing a bid in with seconds to go may defeat other bidders, but this in no way means winning the item.

Timing again is everything and this applies to the day of the week too. It is a fact that penny auctions on the weekends zip along more quickly than those during the week. They also tend to reap lower prices due to the fast pace of the action. Those who are seriously pursuing a particular item are well-served to get up early on Saturdays and Sundays.

Some sites do offer a sort of tutorial or learning area for new members. These are usually called beginner’s auctions and are different than the rest because only those who have yet to win an item on the penny auction site can place a bid here. This does up the ante as it eliminates competition from the pros and sharks that can frequent some of these sites.

Once potential bidders’ feet are fully wet in this land of auction shopping called penny auctions they need to buckle down and learn the rules of the bidding pools. Researching the sites’ rules and the background of other bidders is the only way to succeed. One nice thing about these non-traditional sites is the fact that they do provide quite a bit of information about other bidders’ strategies.

There are bargains to be found on legitimate sites such as Wavee.com. There are also bad guys and bad websites all over the place online both in auction areas and straight up shopping sites. Smart folks do their homework, understand the environment and potentially reap the rewards of great online auction sites.

Penny auctions are great places to win cheap items, but without the right penny auction bidding strategy, you can get lost in the wind. Check out Wavee.com and their bidding strategies, and you will never pay full price for anything again.

Things you need to know when Bidding in Swoopo

Bidding in Swoopo not only involves complicated bidding strategies and thorough research, but also knowing the basic and simple things. It is simple thought but I know it is barely noticed. What I mean is about preparing yourself and your mood while bidding on Swoopo auctions. They say it is easy to control but I say it is not.

Patience – This is one thing I know everyone is trying to achieve. Even myself I can say that, but remember that it’s really big help to be patient while bidding. Being patient means you can analyze your next steps on when to bid, whether to continue bidding or not, and the right Swoopo strategy to use.

Avoid distractions online. Bidding is done through their site so probably while waiting for the last seconds to arrive, you might not notice and be tempted to browse some of your favorite sites and social networks that you’ll forget about that you are bidding. I suggest you open only the Swoopo website to keep away from temptation.

Positive thinking or think positive. Ever heard of the saying “What your mind conceives, your body achieves.”? Win win win, its all that you should think. It might sound greedy but thinking positive that you will win your desired item will set you in a good and positive mood towards your bids, which also will result into good planning. Probably the rest I’ve mentioned earlier will be easily done. You’ll notice later on smiling as you win your first auction for the day.

The ABC’s of Swoopo Bidding

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010 at 5:04 am

If you really want to use the tips and tricks on how to win BIG in Swoopo, you need to learn the basics. If you are new in the Swoopo system, I suggest you better visit their website Swoopo.com and spend at least half an hour observing the different auctions.

To start with the Swoopo basics, here are a few steps to remember. a) All auctions start at 12 cents with no reserve (minimum) price, b) The auction timer starts at 24 hours and counts down, c) Bids cost $0.60 each, d) In a standard auction, each bid increases the price of the item by 2, 6, 12 and 24 cents( Penny auctions are also available), e) Each bid adds up to 20 seconds to the clock (The time added varies by auction and is noted in a clock symbol on each page), f) When time expires, the last person to bid wins the item.

You have to register first before starting to bid. Next step is to purchase your bids for your account so that you will be ready when you find an auction you’re interested with. Swoopo sells packages called “BidPacks” of 40, 75, 150, 400 and 1,000 that you can purchase with a credit card or via PayPal online payment. Remember that all bids are non-refundable.

Bidding in Swoopo

There are two ways of bidding on Swoopo. First is the single bids, which are easy to use and suggested for beginners, and the the BidButler tool, an automated bidder mostly used by the pros. Single bids can be placed individually and manually at any time during an auction. On the other hand, BidButler is auto-bidding tool that will automatically place a bid on your behalf when the auction timer is less than 10 seconds.

BidButler varies the way the exact second when it casts its bids. This means it could be nine seconds on timer or it could be at least very last second. You don’t have to worry about time running out as long as you have an active BidButler, as it will bid for you at some point during the last 10 seconds. BidButler can be manually set up by choosing a start and end price. You just need to choose the number of bids you’re willing to let the BidButler use. The numbers to use must be between 2 and 50 bids. Your BidButler will be activated when the current auction reaches that particular amount.

Different Auction Types in Swoopo

There are different kinds of Auctions you can bid with in Swoopo, and these are:

a) Beginner Auction – recommended to Swoopo users who have yet to win an auction on Swoopo where competition is much less fierce and also less experienced,

b) Penny Auction – in this type of auction, the price of the item is increased only one cent for each bid instead of the standard $0.12,

c) Standard Auction – each bid in a standard auction raises the price by 2, 6, 12 or 24 cents where a red banner across the left side of the screen lists the bid amount,

d) Nailbiter Auction – only single bids can be used in this auction and the use of a BidButler is prohibited,

e) Open Auction – Swoopo sets a limit on the number of auctions you can win in a given month (usually around 8 auctions) where you can bid regardless of how many other auctions you’ve won that month,

f) Closed Auction – This type of auction will become closed to new bidders at an unknown point of time which only those users who have placed at least one bid can continue to bid),
