Auction refers to a spot trading method where specialized auction houses accept consignment from goods owners. Following specified schedules and rules at designated time and venue, they display auction items to potential buyers, conduct public bidding, and ultimately sell the goods to the highest bidder.
Auction practices were introduced to China in the 1870s, experiencing cycles of prosperity and decline. After 1985, with the deepening of China's economic system reform, this trading method witnessed rapid restoration and development. As living standards continue to improve and investment concepts evolve, China's auction industry—as an important component of modern service sector—will gain broader development space and greater growth opportunities. To standardize the auction market, strengthen enterprise management, and promote healthy industry development, China has implemented stringent supervision and regulatory measures for auction enterprises.
