I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'partners at auction' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'two points' is the wordplay.

'points' could be 'we' and 'we' is found within the answer.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'for' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?
