Remember:
- Some of these sites cover auctions of every conceivable field ranging from coins to farm equipment!
- None of these aggregators are really exhaustive in their coverage of upcoming auctions. You will most often have to subscribe to several of these services to hopefully cover all the possibilities.
- Watch out for commissions! Most of these sites charge a variable additional commission (2-3%) to buyers who have obtained a lot through them.
