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
First up is the Golden Rule which I can say is somewhat similar to our known golden rule. This rule in Swoopo states: never pay over retail price for anything on Swoopo. The problem though is that this gets 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 that they are already above the limit.
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. You will then notice that 10 minutes or more had been added to the auction clock. A common error of most bidders is jumping in immediately after the BidButler Battle with single bids while the auction clock still shows several minutes. Be patient and wait. Also, do not go hand in hand with a Bidbutler that has just emerged victorious on a Bidbutler battle. This means that there’s still Bidbutler active so basing on our previous strategies, you wait until it reaches its limit. That is the time then that you place your bids.
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.
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.
