First off, I just want to say thanks to everyone for checking out the blog. I receive far more hits than I though (just installed a stat tracker) and I’m very pleased!  Ok, no on to business.

I am wondering what type of analysis you want to see next.  Do you want to see how many bids it takes first time winners vs 2nd vs 3rd time winners?  What goes through your mind when you are trying to figure things out on Swoopo?  I’ll see what type of stuff I can provide you with, just leave me a comment below. Here is what I was thinking so far:

• Average price of auctions for first time winners
• Average number of bids for 1st time winners vs Swoopo veterans
• Number of people who overpaid by auction
• Number of people who overpaid by date (are people getting smarter)
• Likeliness to overbid on an auction (sperated by category)
• Number of people who overpaid by day of week
• likelihood to overbid by day of week

So far that is all I have that I would like to find out, but I want to hear from you!  Let me know and I’ll see what kind of information I can get for you.

There are certainly many people who ask, “I’ve bid soo many times, what on earth does it take to win a Swoopo auction?”  I’ve also heard over and over again from user feedback and emails that people just do not know how many bids it takes to win an auction on Swoopo.  To me, these are two very different questions.

What does it take to win on Swoopo?  There are two things it takes. First, you must have patience, but not the patience you might be thinking.  I feel it’s important to have patience for learning the game as well as patience for watching auctions.  If you watch enough auctions and actually think where you would place a bid, think again. You may want to hold off when bidding.  Also, if that item you wanted to bid on is sold before you had a chance to bid, don’t worry. It’s the people that jump in too soon that end up losing money.

The second thing it takes to win auction on Swoopo is a strategy.  If you don’t have a Swoopo strategy, you can kiss all your hopes of winning a brand new iPhone gift card, Nintendo Wii, or any other fun new product they have to bid on out the window!  Certainly you wouldn’t sit down at a blackjack table in Las Vegas and begin bidding without knowing what you’re doing.  Beat Swoopo Volume 2 gives you that advantage by helping you develop a strategy and gives you the ways to implement that strategy in the heat of a Swoopo bidding battle.

To answer the second question above, I feel it’s very important to know the number of bids you should be expected to place during any given auction.  I was able to figure out a formula that the Excel spreadsheet included in Volume 2 uses that finds the average number of bids it takes to win by product type by day, depending on how you sort the pivot table in the spreadsheet.  It’s quite interesting to see how bidding habits change over the course of the day!  This column is included in the spreadsheet that you can see in the video below.  It’s not in this video because I have updated, but you should get the idea! 

Here is a sample video to show you how the Beat Swoopo Excel sheet works.  I have since updated the amount of data so you can be sure no one is getting a free sneak peak at your valuable data!

I know it takes plenty of bids to win an auction, so you have to be willing to shell out some cash at first, but with the strategy on your side, you’ll definitely be able to make the right auction winning decisions.

After receiving multiple emails from people who were curious where the iPhone data was, I pulled together the last few months of data and now am offering more than information for finding trends than any other system for bidding out there, and as far as I know, the only Microsoft Excel spreadsheet for interactive trend finding and the ability to know when to bid, how to bid, and when to be aggressive.

Check out the link below to purchase the Beat Swoopo Volume 2 Package with the Excel spreadsheet that will make your bidding easier.  It’s guaranteed to save you time so you don’t have to sit there and watch an 18 hour auction!

Let me know if you have any questions!

Cheers!

So, the news has been out there for a while, but I wanted to let you guys know of a few things. There are a few Swoopo manuals out there that will help you win swoopo auctions, but there is one that you must have if you want to be serious about winning.  The Beat Swoopo strategy guide is focused on bringing you accurate statistics that will help you win auctions.  There are a few things that set Beat Swoopo apart from the rest.  Here is what is included:

Hey! I hope everyone had a nice weekend! That warm weather is coming soon enough!

Swoopo puts out announcements on an almost daily basis.  They let you know what they have a few deals on and set up a special page for these products.  They present it almost as a promotion with a fun little line of text such as:

“Smell Great This Weekend!” & ”Get All Your Bids Back Today!”

These promotions definitely draw a whole lot of attention, as they should.  That’s why I would recommend staying under the radar and avoiding these promotional type auctions from Swoopo.  The increased competition here makes it more difficult to step in and win these auctions as they do not follow the regular trends (found in the Beat Swoopo Vol. 2 Excel Sheet) and you will most likely end up losing money.

If you find yourself often losing auctions, or have a difficult time judging when to start bidding on Swoopo auctions, feel free to check out Beat Swoopo where you can learn more about winning Swoopo auctions and decreasing your time staring at the computer screen and increasing time playing with your new toys!

There are several different ways you can buy bids on Swoopo. You can pay with Visa (credit or debit), as well as MasterCard (credit or debit) and Maestro Cards.

Bid packs are available in difference sizes for different amounts of money:

• XXL - $525 - 700 Bids
• XL - $225 - 300 Bids
• L - $75 - 100 Bids
• M - $37.50 - 50 Bids
• S - $22.50 - 30 Bids

If you intend on setting up a BidButler action, I would say that you probably need at least 100 bids. Please remember to always take into account all your costs when figuring out how much you saved.  How much did it costs to buy the bids, shipping… etc. This will let you know if you really saved on Swoopo!

Feel free to check out my strategy guide I have written for Swoopo at Beat Swoopo so you will know the right number of bids you should be buying. Also, feel free to check out Swoopo Strategy Guide as that has a 20% discount if you sign up on the form!
