Distinguishing the Differences
      Between Auctions
It seems like new information is discovered about
  something every day. And the topic of auctions is no
exception. Keep reading to get the most current auction
                  information available.
Learn about the differences between various types of
              auctions, on and offline.
English auction: This is what most people think of as an
auction. Participants bid openly against one another, with
 each bid being higher than the previous bid. The auction
ends when no participant is willing to bid further, or when
  a pre-determined "buy-out" price is reached, at which
point the highest bidder pays the price. The seller may set
 a 'reserve' price and if the auctioneer fails to raise a bid
    higher than this reserve the sale may not go ahead.
Dutch auction: In the traditional Dutch auction the
   auctioneer begins with a high asking price which is
 lowered until some participant is willing to accept the
auctioneer's price, or a predetermined minimum price is
reached. That participant pays the last announced price.
This type of auction is convenient when it is important to
 auction goods quickly, since a sale never requires more
                       than one bid.
The Dutch auction is named for its best known example,
the Dutch tulip auctions; in the Netherlands this type of
auction is actually known as a "Chinese auction". "Dutch
   auction" is also sometimes used to describe online
     auctions where several identical goods are sold
  simultaneously to an equal number of high bidders.
 Economists call the latter auction a multi-unit English
                    ascending auction.
Sealed High-Bid Auction: In this type of auction all bidders
 simultaneously submit bids so that no bidder knows the
 bid of any other participant. The highest bidder pays the
                   price they submitted.
Vickrey auction: Also known as the sealed second-price
auction. This is identical to the sealed high-bid auction,
except the winning bidder pays the second highest bid
                  rather than their own.
Silent auction: This is a sealed variant often used in charity
   events, but involving the simultaneous sale of multiple
  items. Participants submit bids normally on paper, near
   the item. They may or may not know how many other
   people are bidding or what their bids are. The highest
            bidder pays the price they submitted.
Procurement auction: This kind of auction reverses the
roles of seller and buyer. The buyer puts out an RFQ for a
given commodity and providers offer progressively lower
prices in hopes of getting the business. At the end of the
                auction, the lowest bid wins.
Digital art auction: In this indefinitely long auction,
      designed for unreleased works that are trivially
   reproducible at zero cost (recordings, software, drug
  formulae), bidders openly submit their maximum bids.
  The seller may review the bids and close with a price of
their choosing at any time. The successful bidders that pay
    this price are those whose bid meets or exceeds it.
Open outcry auction: This type of auction can refer to any
 auction where the auction is conducted orally for people
 to hear typically used in stock exchanges and commodity
  exchanges, where trading occurs on a trading floor and
 traders may enter verbal bids and offers simultaneously.
This type of auction is being replaced by electronic trading
                         platforms.
Unique bid auction: In this type of auction users post blind
bids and are given a range of prices they can place a bid in,
  often a capped limit. The highest, or lowest, unique bid
 wins. For instance an auction is given a maximum bid of
 10. If the top five bids are 10, 10, 9, 8, 8 then 9 would be
the winner being the highest unique bid. This is a popular
                    online type of auction.
Buy-out auction: This auction has a predetermined buy-
     out price in which the bidder can end the auction by
accepting the buy-out price. The buy-out price is set by the
   seller. The bidder can choose to bid or use the buy-out
 option. If no bidder chooses to utilize the buy-out option,
    the auction ends with the highest bidder winning the
  auction. You can often find this type of auction on eBay.
Be sure you understand the type of auction you are
participating in before it starts. Sometimes mistakes made
 at an auction can smart and be costly if you don't know
                    what you are doing.
