Editing Auction (section)

===Unique item auctions===
* Motor vehicle and [[Auto auction|car auctions]] – Here one can buy anything from an accident-damaged car to a brand new top-of-the-range model; from a run-of-the-mill family saloon to a rare collector's item.
* Antiques and collectibles auctions give an opportunity for viewing a huge array of items. The sale of [[collectible]]s includes items such as stamps, coins, vintage toys & trains, classic cars, and fine art.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.quadraevents.com/auction.html|title=Canadian Museum of Civilization and Canada Postal Museum – Auction of Fine Art and Stamps|access-date=25 May 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131113024237/http://www.quadraevents.com/auction.html|archive-date=2013-11-13}}</ref> 
* On-site auctions – Sometimes when the stock or assets of a company are simply too vast or too bulky for an auction house to transport to their own premises and store, they will hold an auction within the confines of the bankrupt company itself. Bidders could find themselves bidding for items which are still plugged in, and the great advantage of these auctions taking place on the premises is that they have the opportunity to view the goods as they were being used, and may be able to try them out. Bidders can also avoid the possibility of goods being damaged whilst they are being removed as they can do it or at least supervise the activity.<ref>{{cite web |last1=Br |first1=Mike |title=On-site versus off-site auctions |url=https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2010/06/02/on-site-versus-off-site-auctions/ |website=Mike Brandly, Auctioneer Blog |access-date=26 January 2020 |language=en |date=2 June 2010}}</ref>
