27、Woman: There are several variations on the basic auction form, including time limits, minimum or maximum limits on bid prices, and special rules for determining the winning bidder and sale price. Participants in an auction may or may not know the identities or actions of other participants. Dependin
28、g on the auction, bidders may participate in person or remotely through a variety of means, including telephone and the internet. The seller usually pays a commission to the auctioneer or auction company based on a percentage of the final sale price. English auction, also known as an open ascending
29、price auction, is arguably the most common form of auction in use today. Participants bid openly against one another, with each subsequent bid higher than the previous bid. An auctioneer may announce prices, bidders may call out their bids themselves(or have a proxy call out a bid on their behalf),
30、or bids may be submitted electronically with the highest current bid publicly displayed. In some cases a maximum bid might be left with the auctioneer, who may bid on behalf of the bidder according to the bidders instructions. The auction ends when no participant is willing to bid further, at which
31、point the highest bidder pays their bid. Alternatively, if the seller has set a minimum sale price in advance(the reserve price)and the final bid does not reach that price the item remains unsold. Sometimes the auctioneer sets a minimum amount by which the next bid must exceed the current highest bi
32、d. The most significant distinguishing factor of this auction type is that the current highest bid is always available to potential bidders. The English auction is commonly used for selling goods, most prominently antiques and artwork, but also secondhand goods and real estate. At least two bidders

Everyone at the bank is very helpful. Come, lets go. It isnt too far and we can walk
36、to the savings bank account section. Woman: What do we have to do at the bank duty? Man: We deposit check and cash earned at the store with the bank between twelve and one every day. First you go to the store cashier and collect the money to be deposited from the cashier. He also gives you payslips
37、for the cash deposit. Woman: I have a savings bank account of my own. I know that one hands in the pay in slip and the bank cheque to be deposited to the clerk dealing with ones account.

38、s the same except that in the case of the store, where there are so many transactions every day, we have a checking bank account into which the bank cheque and cash collection is deposited. There is another thing you have to remember. The cash and bank cheque deposited are entered on different pay i
39、n slips. The cash deposited is presented to the cashier and not to the clerk. Woman: What kinds of documents will be required to be deposited at the bank?

42、 At times, some of our customers pay us by Travellers cheques or with Foreign Exchange department. The store has to deposit this Foreign Exchange earned by it, with the bank within twenty four hours. Man: Where do you buy Foreign Exchange for the Foreign travel of your Executives?
