You hold an auction on eBay and expect two bidders
You hold an auction on eBay and expect two bidders to show up. You
estimate that each bidder has a value of either $5 or $8 for the item,
and you attach probabilities to each value of 50%. Your own value for
the item is zero. You can set a reserve price, a price below which you
will not accept bids for the item. What reserve price should you set,
and what is your expected revenue from auctioning the item with a
reserve price?
