Yes. Depending on what you want I'd follow a more design-first approach of the particular domain you want to model. And not shy away from custom types, or better, an existing domain-specific vocab.

On the fediverse there's this urge to try to cram and map any functionality on the poor #ActivityStreams vocabulary, which only has a small number of 'social networking primitives' to work with. The use case section in the spec at par. 5.8.12 states that Offer involves "offering one object to another" which is a very low-level technical ability, more indicating of a protocol capability than for general use as "business domain".

https://www.w3.org/TR/activitystreams-vocabulary/#motivations

In your last scenario "Bidding" seems to indicate the business domain / bounded context, part of perhaps a larger eCommerce toplevel domain. You might use https://eventmodeling.org

Also: who is the actor? You may have an Offer service, and "OfferService announces Alice's offer".

Interesting too: https://offerbots.org/the-problem/

Btw, I added #OfferBots at the end, a (halted) project by Andrew Mackie, that has a very interesting concept for the #ActivityPub fedi. The website describes *very well* the problem with "aggregators" to be addressed, but the solution section of the website is not up to par. It was stopped right at the time when Andrew became aware of the fediverse.

Discussed here on #SocialHub:
