Swoopo - has anyone used this auction site?

Is it any good, do you ever get a good deal with it?

It's a scam

You have to pay for your bids - if you don't win you've lost your money.

Nobody will win if not enough bids have been bought to make them a profit.

Thanks, I've had a look at the link you sent - some good comments, I agree with one person who basically says its only a scam to those who place too many silly bids - if you are patient (very very very patient) you can get a bargain.

I was just worried that if you won the item you would not receive it!

It is a scam, and it works because some people believe they can get something for very little, even when the evidence is there to show that is a very rare occurrence.

If you should ever be the winning bidder you will get your item.

Don't forget that a bid in the last few seconds extends the auction, so it is impossible to gauge it to be last bidder as you can in eBay.

If you're a gambler and can afford to lose money, try it.
