Post by: gavgav on February 12, 2014, 05:16:31 PM
Rules: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_auction (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dollar_auction)
Increments: 0.01


Stick to the rules, or don't bid!  ;D

Now if i bid the 0.01 Opening bid and won would that mean you have to send me 0.09?

Yes it does, however if someone else bids for it which is higher than you and he wins, you'd need to pay your bid to the seller if you were the second highest bidder. :)

When the auction will END..? I bid: 0.01 if no one else did :)

I imagine the auction will end when he has multiple bidders and a total bid sum greater that .1 BTC   :o

Sorry forgot to explain :-[

The auction will end 24 hours (determined by time stamp on forum post) after the sum of the 2 highest bidders is >0.1BTC.

This still leaves the ability for someone to make a nice, healthy profit

Happy bidding

Only one making a "nice, healthy profit" with those rules is you...  You take no risk and are guaranteed a profit...   No Thanks.

The only way to win this game is to not play, you'll either end up paying way over .1 so you don't end up second, or paying and not getting shit :-\

The payment address can be escrowed...

If you want to go over .1, then that will be your decision.

Why link to the wikipedia article instead of just posting the rules?

Only the auctioneer gets to profit in the end.
This game can be beaten only if the game players are irrational.

If the auctioneer is dishonest, he could use an alternate account to push up the bidding (this could be done in any of the auctions on this forum, how do you know if it happens or not?)

Two players could conspire together (or just one player using two accounts), other players might bid a few times, but then player A puts in a bid quickly followed by player B. If bid(A) + bid(B) < .1, they will profit, and if they choose bids high enough then the other players will stop bidding, since the other players now have nothing risked they will not try to outbid the highest score to undo their loss.

Admins can see my IP.
Granted, I *could* use a VPN and could bid it up, but that's a whole lot of work for what is really just good fun.

I don't see how it would be possible to collect from the loser without them paying in advance.

Just a little tip here. You should make the auction in$. Why would you want to sell 0.1 bitcoin for 0.05 in example. Makes no sense to me.

I never said you wouldn't pay, but isn't the whole point that the 2nd highest bidder has to pay and gets nothing?

1. If no one else bids, how am I going to lose exactly?

2. Why am I a scammer exactly/conducting shady stuff? I've even said I'll have the payment address escrowed. Nothing in this thread (or any other of mine) has made you think that!

Its just a game and a bit of harmless fun. It gives someone a chance to make some money.

However if anyone else outbids you within the next 24 hours...you will still have to pay as per the rules.

The other bidder can still bid 0.08.  ;D
he actually has to, see how it works!  ;)

In the end you will both even have to bid higher than the actual payout, just to minimize your losses.
The forum even allows suck puppets to bid as well!!!!

It's basically a scam!
You think you can win, but the two highest bidders (if there is no suck puppet) will always loose!


@ the mods:
I know the forum is liberal enough to have people being scammed, however this is a good example that even the most obvious scam does attracted victims!!!
And there will be more easy victims on this forum as bitcoin becomes more mainstream.

I know it is difficult to come up with proper solution, however maybe there should be a 'possible scam' section?

If you check the time stamp of the first post you will see that 24 hours passed and only the second condition has to be completetd!


You never stated that the bidding time goes up with 24 hours after each bid!


So the winner should be me!

Sorry serje.

See below.

Your bid makes it 0.1 which is not > 0.1.
Furthermore; it says after the sum is > 0.1 there will be 24 hours timer.


OP will never loose, it's a scam!
He can even outbid you with his own sock puppet!

Sorry forgot to explain :-[

The auction will end 24 hours (determined by time stamp on forum post) after the sum of the 2 highest bidders is >0.1BTC.

This still leaves the ability for someone to make a nice, healthy profit

Happy bidding

From your wiki link:

Quote

The setup involves an auctioneer who volunteers to auction-off a dollar bill with the following rule: the bill goes to the winner; however, the two highest bidders must pay the highest amount they bid. The winner can get a dollar for mere five cents, but only if no one else enters into the bidding war. The second-highest bidder is the biggest loser by paying the top amount he/she bid without getting anything back. The game begins with one of the players bidding 5 cents (the minimum), hoping to make a 95 cent profit. He can be outbid by another player bidding 10 cents, as a 90 cent profit is still desirable. Similarly, another bidder may bid 15 cents, making an 85 cent profit. Meanwhile, the second bidder may attempt to convert his loss of 10 cents into a gain of 80 cents by bidding 20 cents, and so on. Every player has a choice of either paying for nothing or bidding five cents more on the dollar. Any bid beyond the value of a dollar, is a loss for all bidders alike. Only the auctioneer gets to profit in the end.[1]

This game can be beaten only if the game players are irrational.


with your added rule, NOBODY, rational or irrational, can beat it.
Without the added rule it could had been interesting, like this u're just asking for money

At the moment of speaking I don't have to pay anything because I won 0.1 witch is exactly what I bided
The only one who has to pay is the guy after my bid!

that's the best deal for us


or we can just delete out posts and go on with our lives :)

You should really try to understand the rules before you make a bid!
The two highest bidders will both will have to pay the amount that they bid.

At the moment of speaking I don't have to pay anything because I won 0.1 witch is exactly what I bided
The only one who has to pay is the guy after my bid!

You will have to pay 0.1!
Afterwards you will receive the price money, but only if you remain the highest bidder!

why would I pay 0.1 to receive 0.1?
This will only be doable with escrow!

Otherwise it's a scam!

and i doubt anyone else will bid 0.11 to receive 0.1!

The other bidder will currently loose 0.02.
If he bids 0.11, he will possibly only loose 0.11 -0.1 = 0.01.
You still give him an incentive to bid!

Furthermore; this forum allows sock puppets, meaning the OP can bid with a second account!

So now we wait for the sock puppet!

And what makes you think that if the owner is making another account will stop me from making 5 more accounts and bid with all of them every 23 hours?

And to make it more interesting I currently own over 1200 IP's

so one bid from every IP will make this bid last 27600 hours witch means 1150 days witch is a little over 3 years!

You people really have a problem listening to rules....

If he bids 0.11, he will possibly only loose 0.11 -0.1 = 0.01.

And.. Here is the rule that was posted.
Sorry forgot to explain :-[

The auction will end 24 hours (determined by time stamp on forum post) after the sum of the 2 highest bidders is >0.1BTC.

This still leaves the ability for someone to make a nice, healthy profit

Happy bidding


This means that the 24hr clock starts ticking as soon as the 2 highest bids are >0.1. And the auction will END when the 24 hours are up!
