Auction catalog - An auction catalog is a catalog that lists items to be sold at an auction. Auction catalogs for rare and expensive items, such as art, jewelry, postage stamps, and antique furniture, are of interest in and of themselves, for they will frequently include detailed descriptions of the items, their provenance, historical significance, photographs, and so forth.

Reverse auction - A reverse auction (sometimes called a procurement auction or tender) is a type of auction in which the role of the buyer and seller are reversed. In a more typical auction, the seller puts up an item for sale, multiple buyers bid for the item and depending on the nature of the auction (English or Dutch), and one or more of the highest bidders buy the goods at a price determined by the bidding.

Japanese auction - Japanese Auction is similar to English auction, the main difference being that each bidder has to bid at each level to remain in the auction. The auction continues until only one bidder remains.

Auction Sniping - Auction sniping is the term used to define the process of watching an online auction (such as on eBay), and placing a winning bid at the last possible moment (literally seconds before the end of the auction) giving the other bidders no time to outbid the sniper. Auction sniping is rarely done without software assistance.
