Is this a biased article or is it true? Anyone had similar experience? The article sounds too good to be true, and the website. Should I stay well away from it?

I just came across this disclaimer...

This article was paid for by ConsoBlogger.

Googling it, revealed this ...

www.consoblogger.com/uk

Which promotes the same thing about Swoggi.

So it looks like yes, the article above is biased. Sounds like a scam to me.

Further proof it's a scam ...

I don't think it's a scam as such, but it does require a bit of poking around the website to get the full detail. What is not immediately realised is that each bid you place costs credit (money), unlike eBay where bidding is for free then you pay for the final product.

The chances are that while you might get an iPad for 30 bucks or less, the item would likely be fully paid for by paid bids. The items are legit and if you win the bidding war (which costs money), it only gives you the right to buy the product at the end price plus shipping. So as I said, not a scam, but has cost you some extra then the end advertised price.

Did you really need assurance that the site telling the world how to get high demand consumer goods for 10% of their cost wasn't actually truthful?

But it is truthful it seems. It's just the way of going about it that was concerning me. It's not illegal per say but unethical.

Another lottery type of buying game, you buy tickets (bids) and you can chose the ticket number. If the item cost $5oo they sell let say 500 x $2.oo tickets (bids). You could be the winner with a $ 2.00 ticket (bid). Nothing chonky there............... lot of peeps play the Lotto every week.
Just a matter of luck.
