Chances are that this website is legit.
Their process though is genius.
The way it works is that they can sell you a $400 tv for $200 because not only does it cost the buyer to buy the item, but it costs the buyer money to bid. Therefore the website sells the tv for $200 + the 20,000 penny bids that it took to get it there. Each bid costs about 2.5 cents.
So now the website has made $200 + (20,000 * .025)
The website has just sold the tv for $200 essentially, with a profit margin of $500, since chances are that they were able to buy the tv from a wholesale-dealer at $200 in the first place.
The website might not make money from selling a product, but it will in selling its e-bids.
Its kind of a pyramid scheme in the form that it takes everyone's pennies to get someone else a good deal, but overtime you lose out.

The other guys are right about swipeauctions. The only thing they missed was that swipeauctions is owned by Jesse Willms. W5 has a full story on Willms here:

Its a good watch and only 20 minutes and tells you a lot.
Also, I run into a blog that explains swipeauctions to a tee. After you see this, you are gonna RUN from this site.

You know, if it sounds too good it is. Just save up your money and buy that thing on sale at the big box stores. You will be happier in the end.
