# AuctionFinder

> Auction houses, online auctions and government surplus.

> **Not financial advice.** auctionfinder.fyi is a directory, not an auctioneer, an appraiser or a financial or legal adviser. A listing is not a recommendation. Buyer's premiums, bidding rules and payment terms come from the source named on each listing and were last checked on the date shown; they change, so confirm them with the house or program before you bid or pay. Beware of auction fraud and shill bidding: never wire money or pay by gift card to a seller you cannot verify, and walk away when a price is run up by a bidder who never buys. To report a mistake, write to hello@auctionfinder.fyi.
