237 bids or $ 142.00. This is what a bidder named "k..." expend in $25 Gift Card + 20 Credits! DealDash store price: $37.00. This is insane! Pay out $142.00 to win $ 37.00!
There was another player named "maxi..." (or bot?), who used 119 bids or $ 71.00.
I was monitoring various auctions and I notice that the same behavior in ALL them.
Coincidence? Ahhh! And you will find the same player (bot?) in several auctions.
Very suspicious! I now understand and agree with all complaints in this site.
I'm getting myself out. BE AWARE!

It appears that those of us who made it a mission to close down this scam have been successful. It has been down for about a month, and it looks permanent. It should be. These are the worst of the scammers, with the worst fellow bidders in the universe - mean, nasty people with obnoxious screen names who have nothing else to do but push overbidding (we've always suspected these are bots - inhouse shills bidding you up). Stay far away. We hope it never lives again!

How to win a penny auction
I own a penny auction and the truth is you can win a $3000. 00 tv for much less then $150.00 but first you must do a little home work, Research how much that tv went for the last three times only then will you know what time to start your biding, Next go to compeat.com to find out when the least anount of traffic is. Armed with this info go to
www.bid fellow. Com and sign up for a free bot that will give you up to the second info on what is happening with your auction and when to bid, the truth is swoopo is a fair auction, they don't cheat like bidstick and others. And no I don't own swoopo.

Don't let the ten second clock stump you everytime someone bids it resets and the last bidder wins, what you are trying to do is be the last one standing. I hope this helps, It is real inside info.

Seems like a penny auction site is being reviewed almost daily here, so I thought I'd chime in. First off let me say, I think a lot of these reviews are being done by competitors or paid for. Who signs up for SiteJabber to review one site out of billions? Shady is all I'm saying.

I hear a lot of complaints about people spending so much in bids it doesn't make sense for them to do that and that the site must have "bots". Or that they use all their bids and win nothing. Well, some people do know how to game these sites. How? Well instead of going right for the shiny consumer electronics, they spend all their bids and money getting more bids. They concentrate on "bid auctions", that is, gettiing bids for cheap. Swoopo and Beezid do 500 and 1000 bid pack auctions. So when it comes down to a person who has 30 bids at a buck a piece and a guy with 500 that he paid less than $100 for, guess who is going to feel cheated, and guess who is going to be watching his HD 3DTV in 2 weeks? If you are going to use these sites, bid horde! Bids are the most expensive part of the game, use them wisely. If they didn't send products, or scammed you, you need to get in touch with law enforcement.

However I will say that for the amount of money these sites make, they go to very little effort to explain to their users how it all works. It's not a scam, it's not equivalent gambling. If you can find a way to game them, go for it. According to Swoopo they lose money on about half of their auctions. But the big auctions make up for the losses. To be fair, I'll say the same for the other two auction sites mentioned here. I would say Beezid, Swoopo and BigDeal have the best products and the best sites in this industry. If you're going to try out penny auctions, bid horde, and use one of these three.

This website is legitimate. Shiping is extremely fast and you can win some great items. However, new users need to take the time to actually watch the auctions for a while to learn how the bidders who most often use the site bid and if they are a bidder willing to pay more than retail price just for the satisfaction of being able to say they won the auction. Most users come onto the site thinking that they are going to immediately win something big and bid against anyone no having done their homework first. I can spot these users a mile away and yes, I admit, I bid against them and win.

Yes, it's very true that you probably won't win a high end item (laptop, sound system, game console, etc) and will probably have to stick to something valued at $100 or less because the powerbidders bid on the higher items and they play to win at all costs. They are real people with deep pockets.

This aside, I have won many gift cards, videogames, and electronics from Deal Dash. It took a lot of patience and research so that I did not go into an auction blindly. And end up losing an auction and having to just flat out pay for it to not lose my money.

The buy it now price is inflated from the standard retail price of the item unless its an item with absolute value like a gift card with bonus bids attached. So if you want to essentially get all of your money back if you lose a battle, stick to those auctions.

I have not lost money on the site. In fact, I've come out with a nice profit. I have even won items for 1 cent (a lower end sound system and a MP3 player)! All you have to do is watch and learn. DON'T sign up and start bidding away immediately. Learn first and you will have better luck.

I hope that this helps.

Scam site being manipulated by it's operators to make money. Take my case for example. I tried numerous time to win many different auctions at many different times after reading all the information I could on how to win. No luck. I noticed that the bids seemed to get greater on the auctions I was bidding so I tried an experiment and found a product that was not very popular and one that had gone for very low bids literally every time it was won over the past 6 months. I put 5 bids in near the time out then waited until it was 50% over the highest bid that had EVER been used to win. Now all of a sudden there are a couple mysterious bidders against me. Of course I could not win. I have no proof but it appears that Swoopo (and probably all other auctions) have inside people running up the bids and not requiring them to pay. Then the same item is listed again.
Also, check out all the reviews of Swoopo that say it is legit. They are all sites created by swoopo or some similar site created just for this purpose. People, nothing comes for free and if it's too good to be true... well...

Dealdash.com is a scam BEWARE, they inflate their bids. I watched a user bid over $70 worth of bids for a $40 prize. This user got in bidding wars with a number of other users. Very fishy! I questioned them and they gave me some story how they are for real and they would give me a refund but now weeks later, still nothing. I got ripped off, be careful folks! Check out all the other reports LOTS of are saying the same thing. P.s. They are paying youtube and facebook users to promote their site. BEWARE!
