Carefully worded
I agree with the crux of your article, that Swoopo has seen a steady stream of bargain hunters and some that walk away empty handed feel slighted.

There is an interesting sub-sect of users on Swoopo who've developed a strategy and are bidding often. So much so that Swoopo has limits on the number of auctions on person can win per month.

There's also an ecosystem built up around educating bidders. I created a site called Swoopo Manual based on a lot of the techniques used by bidding pros and it has seen a great response.
