The rules of monopoly are that if you land on an unowned tile you must buy it. If you decide not to, or can’t afford to, it can be bid on. Highest bid gets it. Even if it’s less than the cost.

I’ve played monopoly for 30 years and never realised that. I and everyone I’ve ever played assumed you had a choice whether to purchase or not.
