Abstract
► A 2-bidder first-price auction is studied, prior to which one player can bribe his opponent to drop out. ► I derive sufficient conditions for the existence and nonexistence of continuous monotonic equilibrium. When it exists, it is trivial. ► Variations of the model for which non-trivial equilibria exist are also studied.
