What Not To Do When Bidding In Swoopo

When we are doing our auction bids in Swoopo, we also need to remember a few don’ts when we do our bidding. These are just as important as the basic rules so you must take note.

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

As I have mentioned before, if two BidButlers are triggered at the same time, a BidButler Battle occurs. The cost of the item and the time on the clock will then both soar. It’s not unusual to see 10 minutes or more added to the auction clock after a BidButler battle and you noticed that immediately. A common error is a bidder jumping in immediately after the BidButler Battle with single bids while the auction clock still shows several minutes. That’s a big mistake. Also, 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 on an Auction

This rule is for all the busy folks especially our working bidders out there. If you know you’ll need to leave your computer after only a few minutes, do not start bidding. It is because a typical Swoopo auction can take well over a day. That doesn’t mean though that you 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. Yup, two hours.

Also, you probably won’t need to pay attention the entire time. A BidButler Battle, mentioned earlier, could give you much needed bathroom and snack breaks of ten minutes or more. But you don’t want to be pulled away from an auction after you’ve already invested your hard earned money in bids.

I hope this three simple “do not” (not the food) will guide you and your strategy on bidding with Swoopo. You might want to join our Swoopo strategy community forum and update yourself with the latest stuff in Swoopo.
