What is Swoopo? Is it legit?

Swoopo seems like a scam to me. Have you had success with the site?

You can leave an optional "tip" with Mahalo's virtual currency, Mahalo Dollars. If you are asking a difficult question that might require some research, or if you'd like a wide variety of feedback, a higher tip often leads to more answers to your question.

According to Andrew Ross at ezinearticles.com, Swoopo is not a scam.

-----quote-----
Swoopo is a game that requires skills. You go up against people you already have some idea how to play. If you do not follow simple rules you are going to waste your money and your chances of winning an auction will be significantly smaller.
Swoopo is not a scam in the sense that they cheat you. They definitely have the ability to cheat their users. They could hire people to win every auction so not only they would get the money from the bids but also keep all the products. This is a possibility, albeit an unlikely one. I do not believe they are doing that. I think their business model is so brilliant that they do not have to do that. By doing so, they would risk their reputation and with that their clientele. It is not worth to it to be a scam.

Personally I would say that it is a SCAM.... since Better Business Bureau does not give it a BBB Accreditation... I do not trust it. BBB.org is actually something I use to check a business to see if they have any scams or what people think about them. You should actually check the website out... it is very helpful. The Swoopo website has recieved a D rating. Websites like Ebay have received an approved and an A+

Swoopo isn't a scam, but I'm not sure if it is a good way to buy stuff. please check wikipedia for a good explanation on the site.

--quote--
The money collected by Swoopo consists of the cost of bids placed and the final auction amount. As an example, a MacBook Pro with a suggested retail price of $1,799 was sold on Swoopo for $35.86. However, a total of 3,585 bids were placed, so the total price to Swoopo customers was $2,151. (All bidders paid money to bid, but most got nothing in return.)
--quote--

So everybody bids and pays, but it's not sure you get the good you bid on.

No it is not a scam, but if you are still unsure, there are plenty of alternatives. Have a look at www.bestpennyauctions.com, they give an unbiased review of the top penny and unique bid auctions around.
