Auctions are generally held by express authority ,
and the person who conducts them is licensed to do so under various regulations .

The manner of conducting an auction is immaterial ;
whether it be by public outcry or by any other manner .
The essential part is the selection of a purchaser from a number of bidders .
In a case where a woman continued silent during the whole time of the sale ,
but whenever anyone bid she gave him a glass of brandy ,
and when the sale broke up ,
the person who received the last glass of brandy was taken into a private room ,
and he was declared to be the purchaser ;
this was adjudged to be an auction .

or a combination is entered into between two or more persons not to overbid each other ,
the contract may in general be avoided .
