There's remarkably little written about auctions and auction theory. Auctions
were basically considered a backwater area of economics (other than for people
involved with securities) until the Internet came along. Now auction theory is
an area which is suddenly of great interest to economists. One site that
recently got my attention is:

He's written some papers which look interesting (I have not had time to read
them unfortunately) based on experiments selling sportscards over the Internet.
