Description

Art Auction has the player buy and sell paintings in an attempt to make a profit. When buying the player has to bid blindly in an auction against an opponent in the hope to win the item at a reasonable price. Then the player has to sell them again against offers in the hope that the next offers aren't lower when rejecting the offer. At the end the player learns how much profit is made.
