1. Google
try things like "auction regulations" or "auction law"

You should be able to find a reporting agency.

2. Don't forget to alert the Better Business Bureau if you think
it's appropriate.

4. Auctioneers are generally licensed.

Find the licensing agency and let fly! Alternatively, tell us what state you are in and we can look.

5. Your state may or may not license auctioneers
Edited on Wed Nov-30-05 09:11 PM by Vinnie From Indy
If so, that is the place to start. If a crime was committed, you need to call the police. I would suggest that if you feel wronged by an auction company and your state licenses auctioneeers, you should tell the company you will file a complaint if they do not rectify the situation. In Indiana, for example, auctioneers are licensed and the state auctioneer commission has a mechanism for sanction and for recovery.
