They just named the rest of the Nobel Peace prizes and "Auctions" won?

The Nobel prize in economic science was won by two people for "improvements to auction theory and inventions of new auction formats."

They deserved it.

Auctions are a part of everyday life and impact the economy in so many ways.

The auction format only works in some situations, where the value of the auction is well above the value of your time.
Just imagine you drive up the local gas station and have to participate in an auction for the next batch of 10 gallon gas. Are you going to sit there all day because you lost the first couple of auctions? Think not.
