Items (lot): The collectibles up for auction in a match. "Item count" is how many there are.

Average: The average price of the collectibles in a group. The game shows it as an integer with the decimals dropped.
Total: The sum of the prices of the collectibles in a group.
Rounding down: Cutting off everything after the decimal point. Not rounding to the nearest.
Joint search: The search used when a slot hint and a color hint are entered together: both constraints share the quantity of the collectibles that belong to both groups.
Round: A match lasts up to 6 rounds. Rounds 1–4 use multipliers, round 5 goes to the highest bid, and round 6 is only for the players tied in round 5.
Multiplier (threshold): What the top rival bid is multiplied by; you must beat the result to win this round. 2 · 1.6 · 1.3 · 1.1.
Bid: The amount you put in each round. A whole number, 1 or more.
Win the lot: The unique highest bid that meets the condition takes the storehouse.
No sale: The match ends with nobody taking the storehouse: another tie in round 6, or everyone folds.
Fold: Bidding 0. You are out of that match.
Out: After folding, you can't take part in the remaining rounds.
Snipe: Winning by bidding just over the top rival bid × the multiplier.
Bonus: Money the other players receive when the winner takes a loss: 10% of the loss, or 30% under Bonus Bonanza. The game labels it "Bonus Rewards".
Entry fee: What you pay to enter a hall. Not refunded, even on a no sale.
Earnings: For the winner: Actual Value − Final Sale Price − entry fee − Device costs used. For everyone else: Bonus − entry fee − Device costs used.
Actual Value (board value): The total price of the collectibles in the storehouse, with any doubling condition applied.
Device Set: The bundle of items you take into a match, one set per match. There are 17.
Device item: A single item in a set. Each can be used once, one per round.
Auctioneer Public Intel: Information shown to everyone in rounds 1 and 3, drawn at random from 14 kinds.
Court condition: A rule change applied to each match: Blackout, Insider Intel, Double Up!, Super Rush, Gemheart, Bonus Bonanza or By the Book.
Blackout: The condition where bid amounts are hidden and only the rankings are shown.
Board effect: The chest effect applied before a match starts. A particular type, or expensive collectibles, appear a little more often.
