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

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.
