Auction Variations in Swoopo

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 highly desirable 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 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 - 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.
