This paper investigates the existence of a nondegenerate pure-strategy Bayesian-Nash equilibrium in a double auction between one seller and several heterogeneous buyers in the independent private value framework. It begins with three examples describing some of the model’s particular features. After studying a number of continuity-related properties of the interim payoff functions, we construct a sequence of strategy profiles that converges to a nondegenerate monotone Bayesian-Nash equilibrium of the game under some strict monotonicity conditions. The equilibrium existence result is applied to a double auction with risk-averse bidders.
