Bidding in Swoopo requires good strategy, mindset and skill to win the bids. The good thing is there are different variations on the Standard Swoopo Auctions. Here are the explanations on how each auction type works.
Beginner Auctions – as the name says, this auction is only available for Swoopo users who have yet to win an auction in Swoopo. The competition here is less fierce and also 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. Even though these prices are at different intervals, you’ll still pay $.60 per bid.
Nailbiter Auction – this type of auction is done manually and the use of Bidbutler is prohibited. This auction is also recommended for beginners to get their feet wet on Swoopo. Nailbiter require constant attention so make sure that you have several hours to spend before committing to one of these auction types.
Open Auction – In Open Auctions, you can bid regardless of how many other auctions you’ve won that month. These auctions disregard the standard limit of 8 auctions won per month.
Closed Auction – this latest addition in Swoopo Auction types allows some auctions to be closed to only a limited number of bidders. Only those users who have placed at least one bid can continue to bid.
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 were stopped because of the confusion it caused among Swoopo bidders and other visitors who are checking the system.
Anyhow, these are the type of auctions you can place your bids with on Swoopo. Remember 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 .
