I wonder if there's a simpler way to determine minimum bid increments. I wonder if this will make the minimum required acceptable bid more clear. I hope the reply to the preceding question helps. And I certainly hope that the FCC will request a more extensive presentation if they are interested in one. They only need see the minimum acceptable offer level for a package.
Offers provide more flexibility than do bids of the same amount.
An alternative to killing offers at the end of a round is to permit bidders to put a time-limit on their offers. This didn't seem necessary, since a still-valid offer can always be resubmitted at the start of the next round. I used a percentage rule only to simplify the examples.
