winner's curse  

Definición

  • The winner's curse is the unfortunate consequence of an auction in which the winning offer for an item was bid so much higher than the item's worth that the winner cannot recover enough value to justify the price paid. A free market can function like an auction—sellers offer their goods and buyers offer their bids of the prices they are willing to pay for those goods.
