They wouldn't have made that bid if the rules were different! A vickrey auction has a lot of support as getting revenue.


So?


So a bid of $200 in a Vickrey auction that results in a $101 sale price doesn't imply that you could have otherwise gotten $200, because in a different type of auction the bidder wouldn't have bid that much.


Well it does imply that they did value it at $200 so I'm not sure what you aren't getting because it's very plain.
