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 do I make an offer to an auction company on a house in a bankruptcy sale?
Q. I'd like to make an offer on a house being auctioned by an auction house. There is a bankruptcy invovled. However, I just saw the exact same house listed with a real estate agent, and can't understand how this is possible. Anyone with any experience buying real estate through auction houses?
Asked by RE Investor - Mon Aug 21 11:21:55 2006 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments

A. Happens all the time. The people are most likely trying to sell before the auction. More often than not, buying before or after the auction is a better way to go, but every case is different, and it depends on a lot of factors.

Auction or estate sale? What's the best way to sell off furniture and antiques?
Q. We're downsizing and need to get rid of some furniture and assorted antiques. Has anyone out there had experience dealing with auction houses or estate sale dealers? Should we send the stuff to an auction house(some of the pieces are large)? Have an on-site auction? Have an estate-type sale? We're trying to decide which way to go. Thanks for your help!

A. www.craigslist.org List an Auction on that site in your area. That'll help with advertising if you choose to do it yourself. Other than that I've never delt with an auction.

We are interested in buying a house from the auction, and will need help fixing within 18 months suggestions?
Q. We are looking to buy a house from the auction. However, the catch is you have to live in the house, and make any and all necessary repairs within the first 18 months. Has anyone ever done this, and if so, how did you manage?
