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 - this auction type is only available for Swoopo users who have yet to win an auction in Swoopo. The competition here is less fierce so it is a good thing 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 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 - Swoopo sets a limit on the number of auctions you can win in a given month (usually 8 auctions). In Open Auctions though, you can bid regardless of how many other auctions you\'ve won that month.

Closed Auction - this latest addition in Swoopo Auction types allows some auctions to be closed just for a few number of bidders. Only those users who have placed at least one bid can continue to bid.

International and Local Auctions - you can determine 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 with 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.

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.
