The Fixed Price Offer Mechanism in Trade Me Online Auctions
No full textThe Fixed Price Offer (FPO) mechanism in Trade Me auctions allows sellers to make a take-it-or-leave-it offer at the conclusion of an unsuccessful auction. We investigate the effects of the FPO option on strategies and outcomes in independent-value auctions. The FPO option induces some bidders with a value above the seller’s reserve to wait for an FPO instead of bidding. Overall, the FPO option increases the probability of sale but reduces expected seller revenue compared to a standard auction. The impact of the FPO option is reduced when the number of bidders increases.fixed price offer; private value auction; on-line auction; optimal reserve price; second chance offer

Florence Price Letter to John Alden Carpenter, May 16, 1940, Regarding Submitting His Songs to Marian Anderson
No full textJohn Alden Carpenter (February 28, 1876–April 26, 1951) was an American composer.FLORENCE B. PRICE
CHICAGO, ILLINOIS
May 16, 1940
Dear Mr. Carpenter:
Thank you for your reply of May 13 and its encouraging contents.
I shall certainly bring to Miss Anderson's attention your songs on her next visit to Chicago. If you would care to also meet Miss Anderson personally, it would give me great pleasure to try and arrange it. Maybe it might be well to then hand her some more of your song manuscripts, just in case the others did not reach her. I have an idea she likes especially to look over new and untried things.
If this suggestion is not to your liking or convenience, I should be glad to personally hand to her any songs entrusted to my care.
Very sincerely yours,
Mr . John Alden Carpenter
