How can an English auction be the reverse of a Dutch auction if it ALSO starts high and reduces the price? I would think it was the Opposite - raising prices until there was a final bidder. The above explanation contradicts itself, right?

JellyBaker, Did you see the word "whereby"?? Also, "whereby" could simply be replaced with word "where"

JellyBaker, the problem is that while it's implied, it isn't explained.

I knew the answer but 'Auctions held in the Netherlands' is also right?
