However, if the minimum bid increment is very low, the sorites paradox can come into play, and make it difficult for a person to establish a single maximum bid. [9] For example, if the minimum bid increment on an auction is 10 cents, it can be difficult or impossible for a person to identify a price which they would be willing to pay to win the ...

Suppose that a buyer has value v and bids b. His opponent bids according to the equilibrium bidding strategy. The support of the opponent's bid distribution is [0,B(1)]. Thus any bid of at least B(1) wins with probability 1. Therefore, the best bid b lies in the interval [0,B(1)] and so we can write this bid as b = B(x) where x lies in [0,1].
Proposition 32 will ask California voters if the statewide minimum wage should be increased to $18 an hour. The current minimum wage in California is $16 an hour and adjusts for inflation.
