Abstract: | The phenomenon of online auctions is examined in this article, with particular focus on a pricing option known as "Buy It Now". With this option, a buyer can purchase merchendise immediately at a stated price and truncate the auction process. Auction items sold with a Buy It Now price tend to be at a higher price than the high bid price for an identical item sold through an ascending-bid auction. Buy It Now prices tend to attract risk averse bidders while high bidders of ascending-bid auctions tend to be less risk averse or risk neutral bidders. On the other hand, more experienced sellers sell their items with a Buy It Now price while less experienced sellers sell their items through an ascending-bid process. |
