A Dutch auction is a type of auction where 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 reserve price (the seller's minimum acceptable price) is reached. The winning participant pays the last announced price. This is also known as a "clock auction" or an open-outcry descending-price auction.

This type of auction is convenient when it is important to auction goods quickly, since a sale never requires more than one bid. Theoretically, the bidding strategy and results of this auction are equivalent to those in a sealed first-price auction.

The Dutch auction is named for its best known example, the Dutch flower auctions.

A. Types of Auctions: Different types of auctions take place around the world. Below mentioned are some types of auctions: 1. English auction: This is a basic type of auction.

Is it possible to sell tems free, on a blog,Windows Live,/ 360???
Q. Currently I'm dabbling with selling drop shipped items on eBay ( or , Winkel means shop/store in Dutch) , but I m having no success at this point, and the insertion fees are piling up, and I was just wondering is there a free way to sell item on the net in a blog, or window live page, or Y! 360, or even MySpace, and using PayPal as a payment method, anyway that s not an auction site. I've thought about using craigslist.com, but it looks so Intimidating, though I have heard great things about it.
