The concern I have is what happens in all auctions. There is obviously nothing that can stop swoopo from having an inside guy or bot drive up bids or even power buyers. That is something that cannot be controlled on this site. I'm not one for conspiracies, but this site just seems fishy. Look to see what you won on one of swoopos sister sites........I find it funny how the same person can win DIFFERENT items for the same exact price on different sites and at the same time. All while its the same aution (#). For example, take a look at the recent winners of laptops on both US site and UK site.....It looks like "Befrak" has just won himself 2 DIFFERENT MODELS of an ASUS laptop in the same auction..... Which one should I put in the spreadsheet.........lol http://www.swoopo.com/brw..._50.html?pge=10&ast=3 http://www.swoopo.co.uk/b..._50.html?pge=10&ast=3

That depends on how many bids he/she/it placed.....From the looks of it he was singly bidding, meaning he might have thought the bidding would end soon so he placed a few bids at "$.75" a pop to win $1000 dollars....He was trying to strike for gold....Which would have been good for him if he was lucky enough, however the winner started to use autobidbutler again to make sure he would win and it prob. scared the other guys away.

Ok, So I was interested with this site untill I found some stuff that just doesn't make sense. After investigation Swoopo is an international site (.com; .co.uk; .de; etc.)Which means that your not just bidding against the west coast or east coast, but also others in foreign countries. So, I don't see how you can still back up what you said above. Plus, I was looking at some auctions and are people just dumb or do they just act dumb: http://www.swoopo.com/auc.../-1-000-cash-/120421.html = If I understand right, this guy lost $1,563.00 on bidding for a "free" $1000. Is that the same "different" auction in both sites:...........................hmmmmmmmmmmm look at the bids. http://www.swoopo.com/auc...ore2duo-vista/104120.html http://www.swoopo.co.uk/a...-2-duo-notebo/104120.html maybe a site error, maybe not. I must say, it's a clever set up by the creator creating the ILLUSION of deals, I wish I came up with it since their absolutly RACKING up more money then C.C. ever will in the bronx. Profiteering to the max. Gambling is gambling....guess I'll pass. The real aim of the game is to be the last man standing....A lot like poker. I would advise not to get greedy....Still......Congrats Ry on winning yourself a new tv...... I also wouldn't object if you sent your excel file to me....jk
