How much will be auctioned off to establish a price?
Who are the investors in the new off-balance sheet vehicle?

Yes. Having stiffed investors out of a shed load of money, these investments banks and advisors have creamed off another few per cent in fees for some bit of financial alchemy, at the end of which investors are none the wiser and certainly none the richer.
i.e. no I can't explain what they've done either.

Looks like an attempt at price discovery. First step to getting the MBS market moving again.

it means nothing basically. only a small bit of assets will be sold - more volume is done by hedge funds, etc. on any given day.
what is happening is goldman auctions some assets held by the SIV. based on those prices, it buys the rest of the assets, then moves them into a new vehicle. The vehicle pays back Goldman by issuing debt to the original investors, corresponding with their original claims. everyone hopes the assets pay out as they mature.
