Sealed bid: While this is similar to the Open Out-Cry Auction, offers are submitted in a Sealed Bid format to a certain location at a predetermined date, time and location.  Offers are then opened in a closed-door environment.  The price is reviewed by the seller with the terms of the offering having been preset.  This format provides for more control over the transaction and is usually best suited for hard to value assets.  In this case, the seller has the flexibility to request "best and final" offers from qualified buyers in the competitive range of pricing.
