I read the rules of the Swedish version again.

It's very specific in that if it isn't bought, it HAS to be auctioned and it HAS to be sold and that any amount can be bid.

A very useful thing if you know everyone else is low on cash. More than once I've landed on an expensive property I wanted, but sent it up for auction knowing that nobody else could afford to bid up to face value.

Wait the person that landed on it can also participate in the auction!?

Wwwhat I need to see experienced people playing this game by the official rules or whatever the consensus is, since official seems to change over time too

Yes, everyone can bid. You can use this to get properties for less than the mortgage value and then immediately mortgage it.

That's been the rules for decades in the British edition (my family's older copy is from the 1950s).
