Both the consignor and the buyer are the customer in this case. If auctioneer made an error on the listing they should step up and add the "1" to the consignee's check and ship the card. Both customers are made whole.
This idea that the consignee should lose out on an error is ludicrous. This idea that auctioneer gets to walk is also ludicrous. The buyer should actually makes out but that's his/her lucky day...
By the way in most states a misquoted price on a shelf or in a sale flyer is held accountable in most retail environments until retracted by the retailer once discovered...
