While the world's oldest auction house might be  Stockholms Auktionsverk founded by Baron Claes Rålamb in 1674, auctions have a long history dating back to 500 B.C. when it was considered illegal to sell your daughter by any means other than through the annual bridal auction. Romans sold slaves by auction as well as the spoils of war and debtors auctioned their household goods to meet their obligations. One amazing auction was that of Marcus Aurelius whose debtor auction of household goods apparently went on for months!

How would you classify amazing auctions?
For me, amazing auctions fall into several categories.
Which categories would you use to classify amazing auctions?

Amazing Auction Categories

Amazing auctions fall into several categories:

• Huge deal auctions that are amazing.
  
  
• Philanthropy auctions where people act counter all expectations.
• Huge price auctions - like this painting that sold for $66.3 million USD
• Auctions offering amazing disgusting items -This listicle has gross storage auction items

• Amazing auctions of rare things fans love. No, not celebrity underwear, I file that under disgusting.
• Amazing auctions also fit into Guinness Book of World Records auction categories such as longest, shortest, most attendees etc.

My father was a great auction fan, and loved buying boxes of things for a quarter. He always said,

"There has to be something in that box that is worth more than a quarter!"
