Live auctions are a way of selling goods where bidders come to an auction house or other location, and the highest bidder wins. They can be used to sell a variety of goods, and items are often organized into lot numbers. Bidding begins with the lowest bid, and the auctioneer announces the current highest bid until no one wants to bid higher.
A live auction is a method of selling goods where bidders come to an auction house or other prearranged location. Goods are described and listed, and an auctioneer solicits bids, or bids, on each item. The highest bidder wins the auction.
Live auctions can be used to sell a variety of goods. Farm and livestock auctions are common, where animals of various types and qualities are auctioned off to the highest bidder. Estate auctions and art auctions are also common auctions, as these items are specialized and sometimes difficult to price items, and a live auction can be a great way to attract interested buyers.
Numerous other goods and items are also sold at a live auction. When a home goes into foreclosure, for example, it can be auctioned off. Bankruptcy auctions, estate auctions, and police auctions are other common examples of auctions.
In a live auction, goods are often organized into lot numbers. Each lot can contain one object, such as a house, car, cow, or artwork. Lots can also contain multiple items, such as an auction for 20 office chairs or for 20 pigs. People who participate in a live auction often receive a catalog listing and explaining the lots sold at auction. This catalog may contain descriptions of the items sold, such as a list of the items contents, its condition or even an estimate of the item’s value.
Bidding then begins on the items. The Auctioneer will call each lot one by one. Bidders are often given a paddle to hold to indicate their interest in the bid. The auctioneer usually starts the item with the lowest bid, and then customers will raise their paddles to raise the bid.
For example, if an artist is selling a work of art and wants to get as little as $100 US Dollars (USD) for the item, the auctioneer will start bidding at $100 USD. If no one bids $100 USD or more, the item will not sell. If a person bids $100 USD, start bidding on the item.
The Auctioneer will announce the current highest bid and give other bidders change to raise the price as much as they are willing to pay. This bidding can continue as long as no one wants to bid higher than the current highest bid. The item is then sold to the bidder with the current highest bid.
