I like it very much. However, your definition is slightly off. Since you want to denote the WINNER of the competition in your definition, I would go with jinga instead. (jigve'u=
v1 auctions v2=j2 to v3=j1 for cost v4 at auction j4 (over competitors j5, if you must)), making the actual auction itself xeljigve'u)

I don't have much experience coining words, but I thought I'd have a go.
What about something based on {vecnu} = sells and {jivna} = competes ?
jvive'u => v1 auctions v2=j4 to v3=j1 for cost v4
and then to translate "I attended the auction of the house" it would be { mi zvati lonu jvive'u lo zdani }. What do people think?
Also, is your name Sam Spade or Greg? uinai
