Bidding war
A bidding war was a competition between two parties vying for one commodity.

In 2370, Martus Mazur promised Rom a one quarter partnership in his business, Club Martus. When Rom dared Quark to make him a better offer to get him to stay with Quark's, Quark found the idea of having a bidding war over Rom to be laughable. ()
