Modelling price paths in on-line auctions: smoothing sparse and unevenly sampled curves using semiparametric mixed models, by F. Reithinger, W. Jank, G. Tutz and G. Shmueli, pages 127–148;

The file "Online Auction Price Paths.txt" contains three columns: the first column denotes the auction ID and it is unique to every auction; the second column denotes the time of the bid (in days); the third column denotes the amount of the bid. Note that this is the live bid, that is, the bid amount that is seen during the on-going auction.
