An auction is the process of buying and selling things by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory an auction is a method for determining the value of a commodity that has an undetermined or variable price. In some cases, there is a minimum or reserve price; if the bidding does not reach the minimum, there is no sale (but the person who puts the item up for auction still owes a fee to the auctioneer).
The selling of real or personal property to the highest bidder by a person licensed and authorized to sell the property. The auctioneer is employed by the owner or seller of the property as an agent and normally receives a percentage of the sales price as his or her commission.
