An auction is a type of sale in which a seller (the auctioneer) offers goods or services to the public. The goods or services are usually offered at a lowered price than what the seller would normally charge.
The goal of an auction is to sell as many items as possible, and the auctioneer typically makes more money from selling items than from the lower price he or she charges.
There are many different types of estate auctions, but most auctions use a bidding system in which people bid on the items being auctioned. The person who bids the highest amount for an item wins it.

There are different ways to bid, but the most common way is to place a number next to an item you want to buy. This way, you can be sure that you will be able to purchase the item if you win it.
