Müügioksjonid, or sales auctions, are a method of selling goods or services through a competitive bidding process. Typically, a seller presents an item to a group of potential buyers, known as bidders. Each bidder then offers a price for the item, and the bidding continues until no one is willing to offer a higher price. The item is then sold to the highest bidder.

There are several common types of sales auctions. In an English auction, the most prevalent type, prices start low and increase as bidders outbid each other. The auctioneer usually announces increasing price increments. Conversely, a Dutch auction begins with a high price set by the seller, which is then progressively lowered until a bidder accepts the current price. Other variations exist, such as sealed-bid auctions where bidders submit their offers privately, and the highest bid wins.

Sales auctions can be used for a wide variety of items, including real estate, art, antiques, vehicles, livestock, and even financial instruments. They can be conducted in person at auction houses or other venues, or online through various auction platforms. The competitive nature of auctions can often lead to prices that reflect the perceived market value of the item, and in some cases, can drive prices higher than anticipated due to bidder enthusiasm. The process requires clear rules and transparency to ensure fairness for all participants.
