An auction is a process of buying and selling goods or services by offering them up for bid, taking bids, and then selling the item to the highest bidder. In economic theory, an auction may refer to any mechanism or set of trading rules for exchange. There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder(s) and sale price(s). Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Depending on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price. From Wikipedia under the

I'm helping someone to find a buyer in Japan for a 1922 amendment to Babe Ruth's Yankee Contract signed by Babe Ruth. After Babe Ruth started drinking too much and womanizing and showing up too late to practice the owners amended his contract to say that if he didn't behave better he would be kicked off the team. The man who is in possesion of this unique contract asked me to help him find a buyer in Japan. He's opposed to selling it on Ebay or in the U.S. and he's very specific that he wants to sell it in Japan. Please help. He's going to give me a lot of money if I help him find a buyer because it could be worth upward of 250,000 dollars. Asked by toforks18 - Wed Jan 10 18:19:16 2007 - - 2 Answers - 0 Comments A. I wish I could say I knew someone personally but I don't. My best guess is to contact The Japan Times baseball columnist, Wayne Graczyk. He's written the book, "Japan Pro Baseball Fan Handbook and Media Guide" and is a member of the Tokyo Sportswriters Club and the Foreign Sportswriters Association of Japan. His email is Wayne@JapanBall.com maybe he can point you towards other organizations, etc. Good luck!

Does owner have to have license?
Q. My fiance and I would like to open an auction house in a building we own in Ohio. We would like to run every aspect of the business but hire an auctioneer to do the actual selling on auction nights. Neither one of us wants to actually become an auctioneer. Does anyone else do this or does the auction house owner have to have a auctioneer's license? Asked by kerica2876 - Mon Feb 25 20:44:39 2008 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments A. Good luck with your efforts.
