A first bid is made to the respondent, who accepts or rejects it. Then the bid is raised or lowered depending on the respondent’s answer. The process goes on until the respondent’s maximum WTP is reached. It is important not to frustrate or bore respondents with a lengthy bidding game. Bidding was best when they were allowed only three bids. |
