Many auctions, including most major upcoming auctions, and increasingly numerous e-auctions of major and minor firms, are listed at

The web page you are reading does not list sites of firms with infrequent auctions that would be regularly listed on sixbid.

Biddr:  https://www.biddr.ch/   "A live bidding platform that serves as an interface between Auction houses and on-line bidders."

Dea Moneta  http://www.deamoneta.com/
    This is a venue similar to sixbid but not as sophisticated and mostly European auction houses.

Numisbids   https://www.numisbids.com/
    Still another portal to auctions, many the same as found at sixbid.

*** Firms that seem to run their own auctions (infrequently).

InAsta  http://www.inasta.com/
    An Italian auction house.

Thesaurus   http://www.thesaurusaste.eu/
    An auction firm in San Marino
