Q&A for How to Auction in Monopoly

As one player has skipped buying and auctioned it, it gives the other player an unfair advantage, for example, someone may put Mayfair up for auction, and the only other player could pay £1 for it and win. So its best not to do auctions with only 2 players.

Yes. Two 2s on the dice is doubles, two 3s on the dice is doubles, and so on.

In this case, the auction is over and the card is returned to the bank.

No. Just as with buying the property instantly, the winner of the auction gives the money to the bank.

Two-player auctions can be tricky, particularly if the person who auctioned the property did so just because they did not need it, as the other person could easily bid £1 on a good property and get it for that price.

The person who auctions the property is the person who refused to buy it, and they have no control over how much other players bid on it, so this should not be an issue. If you are really concerned about alliances, then consider having a dedicated person who will not participate in the game to be the banker.

Yes. A property can be sold at auction for less than its original value, though most auctions end up selling for more than the initial value, as that could be worth it to get a monopoly.

You will have to offer a trade to the person who has the third property. You cannot build unless you own all properties of the same color.

You could, but it is a risky strategy. While this can be a good strategy to bankrupt others, it relies on them still caring about that property. Then if you don't have enough properties to mortgage, you would be bankrupt.
