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.

Regardless of who hold auctions, is the winning bid real the total cost of buying a house from the auction?
Q. I see these newspaper articles about real estate auctions. There are the regular county auctions (sheriffs auctions) that real estate companies buy to sell for profit later at their own house auctions. Regardless of who hold auctions, is the winning bid real the total cost of buying a house from the auction? Can you buy a house from an auction for say few thousands dollars? I can't google the real estate buying process. Where I can learn about the process of buying houses?

A. It's very difficult to actually get a house at auction at extremely low prices like that. I've been to quite a few and actually won the bid on a couple of them. BUT... where I'm at, there is a 10 day upset bid timeframe where anyone can outbid you still but they have to up it by 3%. Or the owner still has that time to pay the lender back. That's in the normal case of foreclosure. The sheriff auction thing does not state that there are no other leins or mortgages on the property. I talked to the sheriff about this before and they just won't say. You have to do your own title search before bidding on this. So the winning bid can be the total cost of the property if you make it past the hurdles. And it's hard to find any good info… [cont.]

How do you purchase a car at public car auctions?
Q. Well mine is more than one question. How do you purchase a car at the public auctions? What are the risks of purchasing a repossessed car? And can you really get good deals and decent cars at auctions? Ive been tempted to attend an auction but im still a little confused on how it works.

A. you can get a pretty sweet ride at a live auction. Generally, if you win they give you 30 days to pay and a chance to inspect the car before bidding starts. Try out online auctions too - no fuss no muss - and you can actually SEARCH for something you want. Check out this site: governmentauctions.org - they are an excellent resource for live and internet auctions. thanks!
