Mechanic · Closed Economy Auction

In a closed economy auction, the money or resources you use to bid don't leave the game; they usually go back to other players or to a 'bank' that can be used again. This means the total amount of money in the game remains the same, which affects bidding strategy, as money is always circulating.
