Variations of Swoopo Auctions

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 – in this type of auction, the price of the item is increased only one cent for each bid. This is usually for high demand items like TVs, Cameras, Game Consoles and related gadgets.

Standard Auctions – each bid in a standard auction raises the price by 2, 6, 12 or 24 cents. You’ll recognize these by a red banner across the left side of the screen that lists the bid amount. Even though these up the price 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 is also recommended for beginners as Bidbutler is hard to compete with when you are doing manual bidding. Nailbutler auctions require constant attention so make sure that you have several hours to spend before you commit to this auction.

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 – the globe icon at the top right-hand side of the screen verifies an International auction while the Local auctions only allow Swoopo bidders from a specific country to participate. These are indicated 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 .
