Each player may bid life for control of target creature. You start the bidding with a bid of 0. In turn order, each player may top the high bid. The bidding ends if the high bid stands. The high bidder loses life equal to the high bid and gains control of the creature. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)

Illicit Auction (6ED-190) is a red sorcery from Classic Sixth Edition that lets players bid life to gain control of a target creature. The caster starts the auction at 0 and the highest bidder loses life equal to their bid and gains permanent control of the creature. A 2004 ruling clarifies that the life paid is loss (not payment), so players may bid more life than they currently have.
