Bidders' sale process (7)

I believe the answer is:

auction

(Other definitions for auction that I've seen before include "Selling" , "Offer to bidders" , "Public sale with lots" , "Public sale to highest bidders" , "Caution about method of sale" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
