Really?  Not in my opinion.

Auction:  Seller is selling something to the highest bidder.
Sale:     Seller is selling something for a set price to the first (?)
person willing to pay the price.

Yeah, auctions are different from sales, in execution.  But the result
is the same - the item is sold by one person to another person.

I see the distinction between "I have ___ to sell - here's what I'll
take for it" and "hey, TRU has this set people are looking for - I'll
sell them for cost plus whatever" as being MUCH clearer than the
difference between someone selling or auctioning something.
