1. never heard of it. its probably not good..
2. Basically the way swoopo works is that you pay for your bids, and then with every bid placed, the item rises in price also. They have a few variants on this where the price is fixed for example, but for the most part you end up spending money both on your bids, plus if you win you have to fork out money for the end product also. The system isn't terribly fair either, because they have such a thing as a bid butler, which you can set to automatically place bids for you. Sounds good in theory, but if somebody else puts a bid butler on as well, the two butlers just battle it out until one or the other has spent all their bids, and it ends up costing both people a fortune. It's not a scam though, and it IS possible to win, but it's just very difficult, and there's not really any skill involved to be honest. If you're looking for a website with a fairer system, there's a site launching next month called Price Plummet, where again you do have to pay for your bids, but instead of the price going up with every bid, every item is initially listed at a maximum of half the RRP, and with every bid the price is actually driven down! They have a competition up at the moment to win a ps3 the link is www.priceplummet.co.uk if you're interested. I've been receiving their newsletters and they sound really good :)
