Abstract

See full text

This is a method for use in conducting online and/or proxy-based auctions. This method achieves the best possible price in a timely manner, by more closely simulating the mechanics of a face-to-face auction transaction where bidding is not closed at a preset time but by balancing bid frequency against conducting a timely transaction. The process extends the auction closing time by a geometrically decreasing amount to accommodate bids entered near the end of the auction.
