What kind of auction is The Stove Auction?
The Stove Auction is considered a "multi-unit ascending pay-as-bid" auction:
Each bidder in the auction may submit (possibly multiple) bids, designating both the quantity of units desired in the lot and the price they are willing to pay per unit. The bids are sent only to the auctioneer. The auctioneer will reveal the current lowest and highest winning bids at certain times throughout the day of the auction to encourage re-bidding. When the auction closes, the auctioneer then serves the highest bidder first, giving them the number of units requested, then the second highest bidder and so forth until the supply of the stoves in a specific lot is exhausted. The lowest winning bid that clears the quantity of the stoves in a specific lot becomes the market-clearing price for that stove model. And all bids that meet or exceed the market-clearing price are accepted and winning bidders pay their actual bids. Rules:

SMS Bidding Process
