Explanation:
The Vickrey auction, often referred to as a sealed second-price auction, is a bidding format named after the Canadian economist Vickrey. In this auction style, participants submit bids in a concealed manner, preventing others from viewing the amounts being offered.
The collector should bid an amount he or she is comfortable paying for the statue, to ensure they do not feel disadvantaged by the bidding process. In this auction system, the final price paid corresponds to the second-highest bid rather than the highest bid submitted.
