Public Auctions

Public category auctions can be found in every state, selling almost anything you can imagine. Of course, you might not find boat auctions in Nebraska, just as you may not find snowmobile auctions in Florida.

Public Auction Categories

Some public auction categories include arms auctions, auto auctions, bank foreclosure auctions, boat auctions , and cattle auctions, as well as farm equipment auctions, FEMA mobile home auctions, and heavy equipment auctions. There are also knife auctions, jewelry auctions, military auctions and motorhome or RV auctions, plus real estate or tax auctions, sailboat and scuba diving equipment auctions. If you are interested in seized property, snowmobiles, tools or toys, you can find an auction somewhere auctioning off just those items. There are US coin auctions, tractor auctions, trailer auctions and gun auctions. How about family reunion auctions or antique auctions .

Online Auctions

If you have an internet connection, you can find an auction category that saves you from attending an auction in person. Just as there are local and live category auctions, there are also online auctions the auction off a limited category of items.

Online Auction Categories

Some online auction categories are very specific and only auction off things like airline tickets, cell phones, craft supplies, and domain names. Online there are FEMA mobile home auctions, exotic animal auctions, knife auctions, movie poster auctions, and toy auctions, computer auctions as well as seized property auctions, surplus auctions and ticket auctions. If you are interested in buying a timeshare, US coins, a used car, a violin or watches you can find an online category auction.

Mixed Auctions

When an auction contains an assortment of items, it is considered a mixed auction. An estate auction of a person’s home and contents would be a mixed auction. Storage unit auctions are another type of mixed auction category. Many of the previous listed auction categories may be included in a mixed category auction. There are also online mixed auctions, such as eBay, Ubid and Overstock.com that have a wide variety of auction categories.

Auction Houses

There are a few specialty auction houses can also be considered category auctions. They offer a limited type or quality of items in their auction categories. Artwork and high value collectibles at risk of theft are commonly offered only at a specialty auction. These specialty auction houses provide security and verification of an items authenticity and value. These auctions are limited in the number of bidders who may be present and require a fee to register.

Animal Auction Categories

Even animal category auctions may be even more specific. For example, while a livestock auction will sell all manner of livestock, there are also auctions limited to specific breeds of domestic livestock. In addition, cattle breeding auctions only offer cattle that are for breeding. An exotic animal auction category will be limited to snakes, reptiles, birds or fish, while a tropical fish auction will only offer tropical fish.

Many types of auction items can be found in both public and online auctions. Reviewing an auction category or category auction will provide a starting point for your search for a particular item or purchase.
