An auctioneer is an individual who engages in, or who by advertising or otherwise holds himself or herself out as being available to engage in, the calling for and the recognition and acceptance of offers for the purchase of goods or real estate at an auction. An auction means a sale transaction conducted by means of oral or written exchanges between an auctioneer and prospective purchasers of goods or real estate that consist of a series of invitations made by the auctioneer to the prospective purchasers for offers for the purchase of goods or real estate and that culminate in the acceptance by the auctioneer of the highest or most favorable offer made by one of the prospective purchasers. No person may act as an auctioneer or use the title "auctioneer", "registered auctioneer", "certified auctioneer", "licensed auctioneer" or any similar title unless the person is registered as an auctioneer under s. 480.08, Wis.
