licitáló

A licitáló is a participant in an auction who makes bids. The term originates from the Latin word "licitari," meaning "to bid for." In an auction setting, the licitáló's primary role is to express their willingness to pay a certain price for an item. They do this by submitting increasingly higher monetary offers, known as bids, during the auction process. The highest licitáló at the conclusion of the auction typically wins the right to purchase the item for the amount they bid.

The actions of a licitáló are crucial to the functioning of any auction. Their competition drives up the price of goods or services. Licitálók can be individuals, companies, or agents representing others. They may participate in various types of auctions, including public auctions, private auctions, online auctions, and sealed-bid auctions. In some cases, auctioneers may themselves act as licitálók to stimulate bidding or ensure a minimum price is met, although this practice is often subject to specific regulations. The strategy and financial capacity of a licitáló directly influence the outcome of an auction, making them central figures in the exchange of goods at varying price points.
