It would seem to be a straightforward matter of contract law: Is the sales contract between you and the auctioneer, or between you and the seller? Assuming it's between you and the seller, whether or not his auctioneer is licensed is irrelevant.
There's an interesting discussion of auction contract law in this blog post: https://mikebrandlyauctioneer.wordpress.com/2009/12/29/the-three-3-types-of-auction-contracts/ "When auctioneers bid call, they enter into, typically, oral contracts with the high bidder(s) and then, finally upon “Sold!” they enter into a different contract with the ultimate high bidder — the buyer. These contracts are actually between the seller and the high bidder, and then seller and buyer; the auctioneer acts as an agent for the seller."
If, indeed, the auctioneer is unlicensed, the seller has a valid claim that the auctioneer misrepresented himself. He could sue the auctioneer and maybe get his commission back, but that wouldn't invalidate any of the actual sales, since they are all contracts between buyer and seller. For example, if you sold a house through a real estate agent and later found the agent to be unlicensed, the sale is still valid because it's a contract between you and the buyer. The real estate agent is not a party to the actual sales contract.
Also, if the buyer actually allowed the other buyers at the auction to take delivery of their purchases, that would wreck his case that the auction wasn't done legally and all sales should be invalidated. He can't pick and choose which sales to renege on; it's all or nothing.

Today's Featured Article - Timing Your Magneto Ignition Tractor - by Chris Pratt. If you have done major engine work or restored your tractor, chances are you removed the magneto and spark plug wires and eventually reached the point where you had to put it all back together and make it run. On our first cosmetic restoration, not having a manual, we carefully marked the wires, taped the magneto in the position it came off, and were careful not to turn the engine over while we had these components off. We thought we could get by with this since the engine ran perfectly and would not need any internal work. After the cleanup and painting was done, we began reassembly and finally came to t
