auctioned
Sold to bidders
Auctioned is the past tense of auction, meaning sold through a public sale where buyers compete by offering progressively higher bids.
Items are auctioned when they go to the highest bidder, whether at a traditional auction house, an estate sale, or online through sites like eBay.
The painting was auctioned for three times its estimated value.
Things may also be auctioned off by governments or institutions to raise funds or dispose of surplus property.
