can you have a trade auction?

i.e. I want to trade parts but have had several offers for the same thing.
Besides the difficulty of determining the actual value of the different
offers, is it usual practice to go through an auction like process for trades?

Or do most folks do it on a first come first served as long as it seems fair

regards
lawrence
