An auction can be an auction or tender.
It can appear in the field of commerce , architecture and even sports . Remate is the same term with multiple meanings depending on the context, which means that its definition must address various aspects.
The most common meaning is possibly linked to the buying and selling of objects . An auction is a tender , auction or bid , where a certain item is offered for sale with a base (minimum) price and interested parties must make their offers. The one who offers a greater amount of money for the product will be the one who wins the auction and can keep what was offered.
For example: "The English millionaire won the auction and obtained the Picasso painting," "I'm going to offer my car at auction," "The charity organized an auction to raise funds."
Development of a finish
The auctions can be developed in different ways. Generally, it is a public competition where interested parties express the price they are willing to pay and can compete with each other, one surpassing the offer of the other. There are also single-bid auctions, in which each interested party makes their bid secretly and trusts that they have won.
We cannot ignore in this sense either, that the auction becomes a kind of discount . Thus, there are many beauty product, toy or even fashion stores that at certain times of the year, after having carried out a sales period, present in their windows what they call "final auction". In this way, the buyer realizes that the prices they have at that moment are even lower.
In architecture, the auction is an element that is used to conclude a work.

Finishing in sport
In sports such as volleyball or soccer , the shot is a shot, throw or throw of the ball towards the goal, the goal or the rival field.
"The German player's shot could not be stopped by the goalkeeper" is an expression that shows this use of the term.
Other uses of the notion
In the field of bullfighting, the term that we are now analyzing is also used. In its case, the word auction is used to define the final moment of the charge that the bull carries out before the bullfighter.
Likewise, at a colloquial level, remate is part of different adverbial and verbal phrases among which, for example, "de remate" stands out. This is an adverbial phrase that has the clear objective of intensifying certain derogatory words. A clear example of this is when it is said "Pedro is completely crazy" , which establishes the maximum degree of madness that he has.
