Swoopo Bidding: The Don’ts
Aside from using the basic bidding strategies, we also need to remember a few important tips about what NOT to do when bidding on Swoopo. These are just as important as the basic rules so violators beware!
Don’t Forget the Golden Rule
Here’s the Golden Rule: never pay over retail price for anything on Swoopo. Unbelievably though, it does get violated on a semi-regular basis on Swoopo. Bidders actually get a hang that they forgot how much they are spending already and also forgot to check the current bid.
Now remember that 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 out! You could check other products sites like Amazon and order the same product for the same price or cheaper.
The Post-BidButler Battle Bid
Try saying that three times fast: The Post-BidButler Battle Bid, the Post-BidButler Battle Bid, the Post-BidButler Battle Bid. As I mentioned earlier, if two BidButlers are triggered at the same time, a BidButler Battle ensues. The cost of the item and the time on the clock both soar. It’s not unusual to see 10 minutes or more added to the auction clock after a BidButler battle. A common error I see time and again is a bidder jumping in immediately after the BidButler Battle with single bids while the auction clock still shows several minutes. 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
This rule is for all the busy folks out there. If you know you’ll need to leave your computer after only a few minutes, don’t start bidding. A typical Swoopo auction can take well over a day. Now, you don’t 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. Remember, its just two hours.
Also, you probably won’t need to pay attention on your auctions the entire time. A BidButler Battle, for example, would give you much needed bathroom and snack breaks of ten minutes or more. Take note that don’t be pulled away from an auction after you’ve already invested your hard earned money in bids.
You might disregard these three rules later on but I suggest you do not as it has a big impact on how you handle and strategize your bids. You could also learn more and be updated with the Swoopo strategy community forum.
