Selling art at an auction

Auctions are places in which the opposing interests of sellers and buyers meet and are brought into harmony with each other—without any tedious, protracted negotiations.

Indeed: at an auction, decisions are made within a very few moments. While the battle between two bidders ignites, the tension mounts, and time becomes a factor determining victory or defeat, the price spirals upward.
