Swoopo is out of business!!! Wow! Swoopo was believed to be the first penny auction site in the US. It was a favorite among some but most people did not like Swoopo. The site was known for using unethical operations. Most people thought Swoopo was a scam. However, I'm still surprised that they are out of business just because they were one of the original pioneers in the penny auction industry and they were such a big site.
One interesting thing is that if you go to the Swoopo Website, the site just states:
Due to technical issues, Swoopo is currently not available.
We're working as hard as possible to restore the service.
When the site is working again, we will add ten minutes to the countdown of live auctions, to allow all bidders the chance to get back on-line and start bidding. Please check back regularly.
We're sorry that you're not able to bid at the moment, but we will be back soon.
