Swoopo is a new site which started in Germany offering shoppers goods at prices at a fraction of the retail price has now hit the US. An example of the prices includes a 40inch Samsung TV which sold for $67 against its RRP of $1500. The only catch is that users are charged 60 cents every time they bid hence charges can add up quickly!. Critics are saying that the site is preying on individuals who overlook small increments of money they spend to pursue the discounts – often the odds are high as bids are being made against people in Germany, Britain and the states.
