I don't think you see a flaw in your own response here; this wouldn't fix a thing - the auction idea that is. If folks could bid whatever price they wanted for a house, folks would be bidding at exceedingly high prices. Auction idea = no bueno.
Wouldn't fix a thing for the situation at all, and folks would constantly be in the dark over what the price of that house would potentially be, then. Could be as low as 500k to something as high as 500+ mil, because people do be swimming in gil I assure you.
Poor players would never really stand a chance, particularly on high populated worlds.
