Abstract
We examine when a revenue-maximising auctioneer prefers to auction a homogenous product in one bundle (a single-object auction) than to sell the item in two or more shares. When the items are super-additive the auctioneer always prefers a single-object auction. When the product valuations are sub-additive, the auctioneer is more likely to choose a share auction when there are a large number of potential bidders. When there are a small number of bidders the auctioneer will tend to prefer a single-object auction.
