How often are auctions held?

What makes a Dutch e-Auction so different?
Instead of bids going from the bottom-up, we utilize a top-down approach. Sellers set a visible asking price and a secret reserve price. When the auction starts, the item's price drops at pre-set increments until it meets the highest secret bid posted or the reserve price.
