A famous local baker has approached you with a problem. She is only able to make one wedding cake each day and 5 people have requested a wedding cake on the same day. Rather than pick randomly which person she will sell the cake to, she decides to have an auction. Is this auction more representative of a private value or common value auction? Why?    Which auction method(s) do you recommend the baker choose to maximize the amount of money she can make, and why?
