Anyone here actually SAVED money using Swoopo?
 

If you're tried Swoopo.com, share your story here.

prices are way to low, smells of scam to me.

interesting concept... what do you think the best strategy is?

no, but I did save with GEICO

Haven't their, but bidray.com, been winning lots of shit..LOL... I have spent a lot, but won more in prizes, the trick is to bid on shit you want, not the stuff you think you can just win.

Not a scam, you just have to pay per bid, they make thousands off the bids so they can afford to sell an ipod for $22 :1orglaugh

i have no idea what Swoopo.com is or what it does but the name sounds soooo cool!!!!

I love the concept. They are leaving so much money on the table though. But the legal work on this is probably gonna be a bitch...

i wrote the software for something like that, you could bid through sms. It wont work. Take my word for it.

its been working, they've been around for a while now. you guys dont know shit about mainstream

I signed up last night with a coupon to get free 3 bids. I placed my bids on a Nikon D90 camera. The interesting thing is it actually tells you what the person who won spent in bids when it is all done. Here's what it said:
Worth up to: $1,169.00
Placed bids (613): $367.80
FreeBids (0): $0.00
Auction price: $160.26

Savings: $640.94

Nice savings. I wonder when they'll have a nice Lenovo S10 up there :)

Well after signing up and checking it out...

For each bid you make costs you money.
So here's the strategy..

Sign up with the lowest bid package they offer and pay for it. Should give you 40 bids.

Then, look for beginner auctions for bidding packages, preferably the "Nailbiter" auctions (which doesn't allow their bidding proxy robot to bid on your behalf). Try to go for the 75 bid package and go for it during the early morning, like 3-5 am PST - you have a decent chance of winning it without it costing you a fortune.

Do that a couple more times to get your bids up to 700-1000 bids...

Then once you've got your eye on something you REALLY want, bid like hell to get it... wait until it's higher priced before jumping in, so your not wasting bids... look at some of the recently closed auctions for the average price so you know when to jump in.

That should do it... or you can get very lucky and bid once and get the item on first try :) You never know!

Fat ass savings on this one: http://www.swoopo.com/auction/asus-k...ck/233188.html
