We Sell Real Estate - we can put a house, lot, farm, farmette, building, etc. up for sale at public auction.  This can be done in one of two ways:

The reason that this method is so successful is that when people know the property is going to be sold regardless of price nearly everyone feels their time spent is not wasted.  Real estate is not brain surgery.  A buyer would find comparable properties and calculate how much the property is worth.  Now, where the absolute auction comes into the picture is that a property is not worth the same amount of money to any two people.  One person may be willing to spend $300,000 for a farm while another person knows he or she is willing to spend $500,000 for the same farm.  Then, when six people get involved in the bidding, (you the seller) hope other people will bid up to or in the neighborhood of $500,000 or more.  You would never have known your property could bring this much if you had listed the farm with a realtor for $399,000.  This is the power of introducing your property to an open competitive market through a public auction.
