An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange.

There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price.

How does an estate auction work if I was interested in buying a property listed?
Q. I am in AZ. I am interested in a property that is supposed to be auctioned soon. How does this work for the buyer? Are there hidden fees that I responsible for at close if I am winning bidder? What paperwork is necessary on my end before I go into the auction?

A. They will demand that you produce a cashiers check at the front door. If you are the winning bidder, you will go immediately to a lender's table to be approved for the loan. You will have to close the sale in 30 days. The buyer never used to pay any fees. You just bought the house. Recently in Arizona, the auctioneers are making you pay a 5% "buyers fee". That is added to the purchase price. The sale will probably be "as is" so bid low..

What item should celebs autograph for charity auction?
Q. I'm working on an auction to raise funds for the local animal rescue. I know that a rescue once sent wooden cutouts of dog bones to celebrities and had them decorate/sign them. They had an amazing turn out. What is something we can do of that nature (that is not copying their idea) to raise some money? We just need a creative idea of something that could be mailed to celebrities that they could sign/decorate/make their own.
