Auction off priceless paintings to a crowd of excited art collectors! Meet your sales quota with the limited inventory you have, and make sure to keep the auction moving!

We strongly recommend downloading and playing the game versus playing in the browser, because it heavily utilizes Text-to-Speech, which seems to have off-and-on-support in browsers. It's a much better game if you have TTS!

How to Play​

  • Click the gavel to start a sale
  • Punch in your asking price in the numpad
  • Press the big red button if nobody wants to bid
  • Once you have a bid and you're happy—or desperate—about it, click the gavel again to close the sale

Download / Install Instructions

I played this and clicked all the buttons repeatedly and couldn't get anywhere. I hit the gavel, typed in the smallest number I could then clicked Ask and it just gave me a bad beep. Then I hit the dollar sign button lots, typed in more numbers, kept getting the beep. Hit the gavel more times, typed in more numbers. So not sure how to play this game.
