The system of bidding and auctions. What is a Dutch auction Which of the following features does a Dutch auction have?












23 Jul 2008

I stumbled across the Internet by accident, maybe someone else will be interested ...

The Dutch in Europe have always been considered the most cunning hucksters. Being
once one of the great maritime powers, they brought from their
overseas colonies a bunch of all sorts of exotic junk and sold at
auctions. But with auctions, there is always the possibility that
buyers will collude and buy at a low price. And then the Dutch
figured out a trick. Unlike the traditional system, the product owner
exposes it at an initially inflated price, and then gradually reduces
her, keeping in mind a certain minimum, after which he will simply remove the lot
from auctions. Whoever shouts first: "I'll take it!", He bought it. No one knows,
what price the seller considers the minimum acceptable for himself, as well as
what price competitors are willing to buy, so the selling price in Dutch
auction has always been higher than in traditional auctions.

There are no obstacles to organize such auctions even now. By the way, I could not find normal literature at auctions, competitions, tenders. Almost everything that is dedicated to the state. procurement.

If everything has collapsed and there is nothing to store, keep calm.

1. What are Dutch auctions?

A Dutch auction is an auction model where the (initial) starting price of an asset is equal to its face value at the start of the auction. During the open trading session, at regular intervals, the price is automatically and step by step reduced by the auction step - 1%. Thus, during the day of trading, the price may drop from 100 to 20% of the face value.

2. How does the Dutch auction system work?

Each bidder can stop bidding at an acceptable price level by clicking the "buy" button. This completes the automatic incremental price reduction of the lot. Further, according to the rules of the "pilot project", which is being implemented in the Fund, other registered participants in the auction are given time to submit their closed price offer (sealed-bid), which must exceed the bid at which the price reduction stopped.

Period for submitting closed price offers will start at the same time, regardless of the time of the bet: from 16:15 to 16:55 and will last 10 minutes. For example, if a bid is made at 11:00 or 13:00, the closed bid submission period will still only start between 16:15 and 16:55.

Upon completion of the stage of submission of closed bids, all of them are disclosed and the participant who stopped the automatic step-by-step price reduction by placing a bid, receives the right, within a certain period of time (5 min.), to "Break" at least one step of the auction the largest closed price offer of the "rival" ” and offer your last price (“best and final”). Only under this condition will he be declared the winner.

Otherwise, the winner of the auction is the participant who offered the highest price for the lot at the stage of submitting closed bids.

If there are no price offers closed, then the winner is the participant who made a bid and stopped the automatic step-by-step price reduction.

(Section 7 of the Regulations)

3. Who can participate in Dutch auctions?

An individual with full legal capacity or a legal entity (resident or non-resident) represented by an authorized representative who has discovered an intention to participate in an electronic auction, paid a guarantee fee, completed the registration procedure for participation in an electronic auction, received the appropriate confirmation of registration and an individual code participant in accordance with the ETS Regulations.

Member electronic auction, the subject of sale on which there are rights of claim under loan agreements and collateral agreements, cannot be a user who is a borrower (debtor in relation to the bank) and / or a guarantor (property guarantor) under such loan agreements and / or collateral agreements.

(Clause 5.11 of Chapter 5 of Section V of the Regulation on the Withdrawal of an Insolvent Bank from the Market)

4. What are the main regulations governing the sale of assets at Dutch auctions?

Law of Ukraine "On the system of guaranteeing deposits of individuals".

The rules of operation of the electronic trading system for conducting an electronic auction, which consists of an automatic step-by-step reduction in the initial (starting) price of the lot, the stages of submitting closed bids and a bid for the sale of bank assets (property), are withdrawn from the market or liquidated.

Decision of the executive directorate of the FGVFL

Regulations on the organization of the sale of assets (property) of liquidated banks, approved by the decision of the Executive Directorate of the Fund dated March 24, 2016 No. 388.

Regulations on the Committee of the Deposit Guarantee Fund for individuals on the issues of consolidation and sale of assets, approved by the decision of the Executive Directorate of the Fund on July 05, 2017 No. 2837.

5. What assets will be sold at Dutch auctions?

At the first stage, as part of the implementation of the "pilot project", assets of banks will be offered for sale through Dutch auctions, the liquidation period of which ends within the next 6-9 months. These assets will be put up for sale immediately in pools, because in terms of pricing it makes no sense to sell them individually. After all, after each of them there were several cycles of individual trading, to which the market did not react. After holding the first auctions for the above categories of assets and studying the practical results of their implementation under the new model, other categories of assets will gradually be transferred to the new model while maintaining the current one.

The main assets traded on the model of "Dutch" auctions are the rights of claim on loans of individuals, secured by mortgages.

6. Who makes the decision to put a particular asset up for public auction?

Such a decision is made by the Fund (Executive Directorate or Committee)

The Committee implements its tasks for an asset (property), lot, pool of assets (property), the book value of which (which) is less than UAH 100 million and the initial price / sale price of which (which) is less than or equal to the book or estimated value (for rights of claim under credit agreements - in less or equal debt under such agreements (debt on the principal debt, accrued interest, as well as commissions stipulated by the agreement) or the estimated value).

(Section 1 of the Regulations on the Committee; subparagraph 5 of Chapter 5 of Section V of the Regulations on the Withdrawal of an Insolvent Bank from the Market (No. 2))

7. What are the differences between the Dutch auction and the traditional one?

The use of the Dutch auction will make it possible to optimize the rate of sale of assets of liquidated banks. In order for potential investors to have time to familiarize themselves with the assets, the Fund decided to revise the existing pre-sale terms for exposing assets.

During Dutch auctions, it takes 30 business days or more to familiarize the market with the lot. In addition, restrictions on the number of participants in the auction have been lifted. According to the new model, the auction will be considered completed if at least one participant takes part in it and makes a bid. At the same time, none of the potential buyers will know how many participants have registered for the auction in general. And it will be possible to join the auction even on the day of the auction after it starts.

8. Where can I find information about which lots are for sale and according to what system (classic auctions or Dutch)?

Information about the lot published on the website of the bank selling the asset, in the prozorro.sale/ system, on the Fund's website www.fg.gov.ua/ and on the information portal torgi.fg. gov.ua/. As well as on the web portals of the relevant trading platforms that have been accredited by the Fund.

9. How is the initial price of a lot determined?

The pricing ideology will be as follows: the starting price will be set at par, and during the auction it will gradually decrease to 20% (the minimum price is set by the decision of the executive directorate for each individual auction). The price will be reduced automatically and step by step during the working day. If the auction does not take place, certain assets - primarily large loans to corporate clients - by the decision of the Fund may be re-sold according to the above model (100% - 20%), but not more than twice.

If the asset has not been sold, it will be withdrawn from individual trading. In the future, it will be sold exclusively in pools, the starting price of which can be set at the level of the nominal value of the pool components or 20% (the minimum price of the pool components).

If the pool is not sold, its next starting price will be set at the level of the minimum price set in the previous unsuccessful auction and will again step by step and automatically decrease to 20% of the starting price. This procedure will be repeated until the pools are sold.

Example: 1st auction - the starting price of the lot is 100 thousand UAH. Due to the lack of bids, the price dropped to UAH 20,000, but the winner has not been determined, and the auction did not take place. The lot is put up for re-auction.

2nd auction. An asset that has not been sold before is put up for auction as part of a pool of assets and the starting price of this asset in the pool is UAH 20,000. (The total starting price of the pool is made up of the cost of the starting prices certain types assets is included in this pool).

(Subparagraph 3 paragraph 2 of the Regulations on the pilot project)

10. How can I get acquainted with the documents for a specific lot?

By signing a non-disclosure agreement, the bank grants the potential buyer the right to get acquainted with information constituting banking and commercial secrets. Familiarization with the information takes place in the data room of the bank.

(Clause 4 of section 7 of the Regulation on the sale of assets)

14. I took a loan from a bank and pay it according to the terms of my agreement. On what basis is the claim on my loan put up for auction?

The sale of the right to claim under a loan agreement takes place in pursuance of the requirements of Articles 48, 51 of the Law in compliance with the provisions of Articles 512, 514, 516 of the Civil Code of Ukraine.

Dutch auction: from tulips to tokens

Second-Price Dutch Auction is relatively new model tokensales. So far, this model has only been applied by three projects: Gnosis, Polkadot, and Raiden Network.

The Gnosis project auction in April 2017 became a prime example how the idea of ​​rationality, which guided the organizers of the auction, did not coincide with the rationality of its participants. Their rationality was the fear of missing out, and today we can argue that this fear was fully justified, since the market price of GNO at the time of writing was four times the closing price of the token sale ($120 vs. $30).

What is the main difference between the Gnosis auction, which its authors called the modified Dutch auction, and the Polkadot and Raiden Network auctions? The fact that the target amount of fees was set, upon reaching which the tokensale was closed, and the Spend-All principle was not used. Fixing the target amount at a relatively low level, combined with an insufficiently high starting price, led to the fact that, in fact, the Dutch auction of the second price did not take place. The target amount was reached at the first, maximum price of GNO, at which 4.19% of GNO were distributed.

Projects that do not assign a maximum fee amount are sometimes referred to as greedy. At first glance, Gnosis doesn't look as greedy as Polkadot and Raiden Network, as there was a fee cap on the sale of GNO. However, in fact, the greed of the Gnosis token sale manifested itself in a different way. The model of this token sale was based on the possibility of selling 4.19% of GNO for the maximum amount of fees, while at Polkadot and Raiden Network buyers received all tokens, regardless of the amount collected.

Prospects for the Dutch auction in the world of token sales

The auction model of token sales has already become mainstream in the ICO world. It is not customary to call it an auction, but the gradual decrease in bonuses or discounts during the token sale is essentially a variation of the auction, where the price of the lot increases according to the initially set algorithm.

The advantages and disadvantages of a Dutch second price auction with a full sale and no bonuses or discounts have been described above. So far, Dutch token sales have not become mainstream ICOs, but the presence of the mentioned advantages allows us to expect the emergence of new successful examples of the implementation of this model.

The cryptocurrency industry is distinguished by the fact that projects often appear in it, problem solving which do not exist today. At the end of the article, we will also try to fantasize a bit on the subject of token sale auction models.

The Dutch auction can be not only direct, but also reverse. In the reverse Dutch auction, the price of the lot does not decrease, but increases. If in an English auction several buyers compete for the right to purchase a lot, naming an increasing price, then in a reverse Dutch auction the scheme is different. In this model, there is one buyer who starts bidding by declaring a minimum price and gradually raises it, and several sellers compete for the right to sell their goods to him. The seller who first agrees to sell his goods to the buyer wins. This auction model can also be applied to a token sale, and it will be a completely different kind of token sale than the Dutch second-price auction.

A reverse Dutch auction token sale involves one buyer, for example, a large institutional investor, and several sellers of tokens. These may be sellers of the same token, but more interesting option, when the buyer selects several projects that sell their tokens, and organizes a competition between them for the right to sell their tokens to him.

First, the buyer names the most low price, and then gradually increases it until one of the projects is the first to agree to sell its tokens at this price. Today, projects are simply traded with large buyers of tokens one on one, and in the proposed model, the buyer arranges open competition between projects.

This competition can also be organized in the form of an English auction, when the lot is a certain amount of money, and the rates are the number of tokens that a particular project is ready to sell for this amount of money. In this case, the project that sold its tokens at the lowest price still wins.

If the current growth rates in the number of projects entering the ICO, as well as the trend towards concentration and centralization of the capital of token buyers, continue, then the necessary conditions for holding such an auction may form in the very near future.

Auction trading is a common occurrence in our time. And this is not so surprising, because it helps some sellers to profitably sell certain goods, and others to buy what they need at a favorable price for themselves. It is difficult to overestimate the importance of this type of trade. Evidence of this are international auctions, through which huge volumes of goods are sold. So, about 70% of tea, 90-95% of unwashed wool, significant volumes of furs are sold in this way. There are constantly working flower auctions in Holland.

Some believe that the sale of goods at auction is beneficial only to sellers, because the price is constantly growing with each step and it seems that it just winds up. However, this is only partly true for traditional type auction to which we are all accustomed. But the auction can be carried out in a different way, when the price does not increase with each step, but decreases. Such trade is called Dutch.

The Dutch auction is a type in which a deliberately high starting price is immediately assigned, and then they begin to gradually reduce it until someone buys the exhibited goods. If there are several sellers, then the buyer chooses the one who asks for the lowest price.

This type of auction sales in international practice is sometimes called wading. Its essence is as follows: the seller determines the maximum price for his product, which can be seen on a special dial installed in the hall, and begins to reduce it until one of the participants presses the button assigned to him and thereby expresses his intention to make a deal .

The Dutch auction is usually used to sell a large number of identical items. It is very convenient for both small wholesale buyers and wholesalers. By the way, it was invented by tulip sellers, because they were very interested in wholesale sales of their perishable goods. The undoubted advantage for the seller is the ability to easily and quickly sell their goods. And buyers benefit from the fact that the price will be higher than the starting price only if demand exceeds supply. The Dutch auction is also called the reverse auction, as opposed to the traditional way of this kind of trade. Anyone can participate in it, since there are a lot of websites on the Internet that allow you to both sell and buy goods using an auction. As an example, consider the Dutch auction on eBay.

There may be several winners. Another feature is that the participant, in addition to the price, must also indicate the quantity of goods that he wants to purchase. The "proxy bidding" system does not work here, which means that maximum bet of each participant is known to all potential buyers. The buyer has the right not to purchase a lot if it suddenly turned out that he had a smaller number of goods than he ordered. In this case, the rest of the products will be offered to the next bidder after you.

A curious detail: according to eBay rules, when the auction comes to an end, each winner pays at the price that was indicated in the minimum successful bid! Since eBay does not send notifications that you "left" the list of winners of the ongoing Dutch auction, you should check the progress of the auction from time to time in order to, if necessary, make new rate. Looks a bit confusing, doesn't it? So let's look at some examples.

Let's say a certain seller decided to put up 10 digital cameras, the starting price of each of which is 200 USD. If there are 10 or fewer people who are completely satisfied with it and they made bets of 200 USD, then they will all be on the list of winners. And if there are more applicants, for example, 15 people, then only the first 10 will win. Suppose, among these 15 participants, 7 people bet 150 USD, and 5 participants - 130 USD. In this case, the first 7 people with 150 USD stakes and 3 people who bet 130 USD before the others will get the cameras. And all of them will pay the price of 130 USD, since this is the size of the minimum winning bid.
