Assuming a reverse bid auction is where auction starts at really high price then counts down to a minimum value. I just can't seem to get my head around how they will implement this, seems to me a lot of technical challenges to overcome:
- synchronization across different servers
- if plot deeds placed on auction how on earth are people going to buy adjoining plot deeds? would be difficult to tell which one's are adjoining to which even with a good numbering/labelling system
- perhaps they would be placed on auction as groups e.g. 3x3?
etc
Seems to me there would be quite a few challenges if using existing auction. So perhaps it could be a completely different system. What if we have to somehow select and bid on the ones we want on the ground itself i.e. where they are? Could such a system be implemented?
Also what about selecting the winner on reverse bid would there be a virtual instance for each bidder and highest bid at end of auction wins? Seems to be cumbersome?
