auction prices
What lots fetch
Auction prices are the amounts paid for items sold at auction—where buyers compete through bidding rather than paying fixed prices.
The term often appears in discussions of art, antiques, and collectibles, where auction prices serve as market benchmarks: The painting fetched auction prices well above estimate.
Auction prices can swing wildly based on who's in the room and how badly they want something.
