free sale / not a forced sale
Explanation:
This might be the meaning in your context, but I don't know the technical term for it, if of course one exists in English for this distinction.

Si tratta del meccanismo delle aste immobiliari, ben diverse dalle più conosciute ed esorcizzate aste giudiziarie con cui si attua la vendita forzata di un bene nel caso di insolvenza debitoria di privato o soggetto societario. *** Non si tratta quindi di pignoramento ma di libera offerta in libero mercato. ***

take a look at this, it might be useful

Absolute auction, also known as an Unreserved Auction, No-reserve Auction or Auction Without Reserve, is an auction with no minimum bid amount, no set starting bid, no seller confirmation of the high bid price, and no buybacks of the property being offered by the seller of any agents of the seller. The highest bidder will purchase the property no matter the high bid price. This type of auction is designed to attract the maximum participation from the buying public as the seller has committed to convey their property to the highest bidder without limitation. It does offer buyers excellent opportunities from time to time, however. A 2003 Virginia statute defines an absolute auction as "an auction where at the time of the auction sale the real or personal property to be sold will pass to the highest bidder regardless of the amount of the highest and last bid."

Explanation:
Io conosco questa forma: without reserve.

RESERVE
The reserve is the confidential minimum auction price established between Meeting Art and seller and below which a lot will not be sold. Sometimes the reserve could be higher of the estimate in the catalogue. If the lots are offered without reserve, these lots in the catalogue are indicated as “Offerta Libera”.
