"Find me cards equivalent to: Illicit Auction"

Equivalent cards to Illicit Auction (red, sorcery, creature-stealing via bidding/life payment) are rare, but here are some similar red sorceries that let you gain control of a creature (each with a twist):
1. Act of Treason

Reason:
Red, Sorcery, temporary gain of control of target creature.
2. Reins of Power (blue, but similar effect if you want close mechanics)

Reason:
Switches control of creatures, but not red.

Illicit Auction itself has a unique bidding mechanic, but Act of Treason is the closest red sorcery for stealing creatures, though without the life payment or permanent control. There are no other red sorceries with a bidding mechanic in MTG.

    Each player may bid life for control of target creature. You start the bidding with a bid of 0. In turn order, each player may top the high bid. The bidding ends if the high bid stands. The high bidder loses life equal to the high bid and gains control of the creature. (This effect lasts indefinitely.)
