Bidding is the process and result of bidding . This verb , for its part, can refer to the force used to push something or to continue an action, or to the price increase that someone decides within the framework of an auction.

Bidding at an auction
Within the framework of an auction or an auction , bidding is the competition established by those who wish to buy what is put up for sale. When bidding, the usual thing is for those interested to promote an increase in the price: thus, whoever offers more money wins the bid and keeps the product in question.
There are, however, various ways to carry out an auction. There are systems in which the auctioneer begins by offering the product at a high price and then gradually lowers it until there is a person willing to pay what is requested.
The competition established in an auction or auction is called a bid.
The case of eBay
The eBay buying and selling platform is responsible for millions of auctions internationally every day of the year. The system proposed by the online transaction giant, beyond the direct sales option, has the following characteristics:
- The seller writes an advertisement for their item, including as detailed a description as desired and a photograph. To boost your success, you have access to a number of paid services, such as the ability to add photos or have your ad title appear in bold.
- Set a base price, which may well be high, although eBay recommends a symbolic value (such as "$1" ). It is worth mentioning that this price can be modified, but only within a period established by the company.
- Determine the length of time the auction will last (one week is recommended).
- Interested parties bid throughout this period, as many times as they wish. The last person to place their bid becomes the undisputed creditor of the product.
Bidding on TV

Such is the case of the "Storage Hunters" program, which consists of presenting different auctions of self-storage storage rooms (spaces that can be rented to store personal items or belonging to a company, and that are offered in different sizes) that have been abandoned. The attraction is that the participants cannot carefully observe the contents of the storage rooms before the start of the bidding, but are only allowed to take a look, without touching anything.
After this first observation stage, an auction begins in which there is often friction between the participants, to add a touch of humor and tension to the program. Rarely does a bid reach exorbitant values , since supposedly no one knows what they will get in exchange for their money. In some cases, the findings are truly surprising and allow their creditors to more than recover their investment; In others, disappointment is inevitable, faced with a collection of junk that is almost impossible to resell.
