Swoopo Auctions & the

Power of Commitment

There's one major issue that Swoopo pros and beginners both struggle with: When to give up on an auction and save your bids vs. when you should double down and go for the win.

This debate is really a matter of commitment and how much you should be willing to invest in any one auction.

Here are three principles that will guide your bidding and save you the struggle later:

Commit to a Bid Limit

Before you start bidding on a Swoopo auction, it's important to set a limit to the number of bids you're willing to spend. If 10% if your figure, then stick to it and do not go over. If you're a bold player or a seasoned pro who's confident enough to invest 15% or even 20% of the total price in bids, that's fine...as long as you stick to it.

If you invest a large amount of bids and come away empty-handed, you can use the "Swoop It Now" feature to grab the item you missed out on, anyway.

Commit to a Final Price Limit

Just as it's important to set a bid limit, it's equally as critical to set a final price limit. If you're bidding on a video game with a final price of $50, you should decide at what price it's no longer worth bidding...

Is that $15? $25? I can't choose the price for you, it's up to you to how badly you want to win vs. how much you'd like to save. The important thing is to make the decision in advance and then commit to that final price limit. If you haven't yet won an auction and your final price limit is reached...cut your losses and try again. As I mentioned above, you can always use the "Swoop It Now" feature to get the item at retail price.

Commit to Buying Enough Bids to Win

When entering an auction, always be ready and prepared to spend up to 10-15% of the auction price to win. In fact, this principle alone is the reason a few top Swoopo bidders can win time and time again.

They're willing to invest the amount of bids necessary to win!

If an item usually sells for a 75-80% discount on Swoopo, you can bet that you'll need to spend about 10% of the item price to win that auction. Confused? Let's explain that with numbers:

If you're looking at a Macbook auction with a total item price of $1,749, then you'll want to be prepared to invest 10% of that total price.

$1,749 x 10% = $175

You should be prepared to invest $175 in bids on that auction.

The 10% figure can vary depending on the auction type and the time of day (for example, a Penny Auction may require a larger investment in bids, but will come with a lower final price). But the 10% figure is a good rough estimate.

Now don't worry, you don't need to start bidding on a Macbook right away...you can start small. And you may not need all these bids.

Most importantly, don't forget to look at the big picture. A $175 investment in bids with a 95% discount on that laptop would still mean getting a Macbook for about $270.

That's a steal!
