Reception

James V. Trunzo reviewed Millennium Auction in White Wolf Inphobia #54 (April, 1995), rating it a 4 out of 5 and stated that "The theme of Millennium Auction is so narrow that sameness inevitably creeps in. It's the kind of game that I see myself playing for awhile, putting it on the shelf and coming back to it later."^[1]

John P. Withers for Electronic Games said that "for those with good hardware, and a bit of technical patience, Millennium Auction provides hours of strangely stimulating fun."^[2]

Allen L. Greenberg for Computer Gaming World rated the game for 3 stars and said that "Millennium Auction might be good bait to lure family and friends who have been unimpressed with gaming thus far."^[3]
