Auctioneering is the process of selling goods or property to the highest bidder through a public sale known as an auction. An auctioneer is a trained professional who facilitates this process, using a unique chant to encourage bidding and create excitement among participants. Auctions can take place in person, online, or through a combination of both. During an auction, items are presented, and bidders place their offers until the bidding ends. The item is sold to the highest bidder, who then pays the agreed amount. Auctions are commonly used for selling art, antiques, real estate, and various collectibles.
