Use the video on auctions and at least 3 academic and/or high-quality business publications, see definitions below, to answer the following questions in 5-7 pages:

1. There are many types of auctions each with strengths and weakness at uncovering the real price/value of an item. Compare and contrast:

a) the English and Dutch auctions; and,

b) the sealed-bid, first-price auction, and the Vickery Auction.

2. Concierge Auctions Limited sells very high end and unique properties worldwide using an English style auction, selling to the highest bidder. They have been embroiled in multiple lawsuits see the link to the Wall Street Journal. Advise Concierge as to the weakness that an English auction may have in uncovering a property’s value. Provide a recommendation for at least one other auction type which may better uncover the value of unique real estate properties.
