Everybody who plays(gambles) on Swoopo (atleast in the US and Canda can also use Rockybid.com) Yet there are a lot more users on Swoopo (based on Alexa ratings) when you have almost no chance to win. (rockybid has more than 50% of their items end up under $1. ) So whats the deal is rockybid legit? they do have 500 testimonials, pictures, videos, even gave away a car for $1.24.(Swoopo sold a car too but for like $4,000, I did not bid on that one) Or should I stick my dollars to Swoopo.? (I already played Swoopo, several times and and won one time (Nintendo wii control which I received within 2 weeks for winning; but I did spend about $200) Then again swoopo has more high end items. But again little chance of winning (at least with my strategy). (rockybid has about 6 a day(and another 30 smaller items)) I am willing to invest with a new and better strategy, another $500 of my hard earned money; I am looking for feedback. Do I go to Rockybid or Swoopo! thanks. O.k Here is what me carzy(mentally).

Nice little widget. I just install it and it is fun. :) I have one R&D idea: user can choose more than just one axis and different axis are shown in different color, so you can see which is which. Idea number two: draw the seismometer graph in 3D! Here is on example, but isn't the best one, I think. Still, I hope you get the idea http://www.ipej.org/0703/klemm3.jpg Nice, keep on going! :) Hi!

Do NOT use this service. Many times, after purchasing credits, they do not register on your account. There will also be multiple duplicate charges through PayPal that you did not authorize. When disputing through PayPal, Spranked's pre-meditated defense is that it's a "Virtual Service" for which there is no recourse. Spranked(dot)com is pure fraud. Do NOT use this service.

I was looking at a variety of sites out there and have many concerns like most. After doing some research, I recently stumbled upon this new site, www.BIDZONE.com. Basic concept, everytime you place a "bid" on an item the product price actually REDUCES rather than increasing. The price per bid ONLY 50cents and the amount the price reduces 50cents. This is the first site I've seen do this!! If anyone else has heard of BidZone - comment below because I'd love to learn more! I’m actually new to the whole online shopping concept.

I suggest you look around at the other auction sites similar to Swoopo. Hasteno.com is a new one that I’ve been playing on and I’ve actually won a couple things. Playstation 3 games going for $.08 (2 bids!) and a Nintendo Wii going for $2.16 is ridiculous. Before you completely discount the idea, you should check them out.

'Other world' operators are OK. Me personally thinks that SMS spoofing is real fun to do with friends or colleagues.. I use SMSGANG.com, its easy and cheap.
